Go to the odometer option on your center display, and use the arrow steering wheel buttons to select digital spedo.

You can also have it show digital speed instead of temp above your clock via the "settings" menu in the center display

I'd love to, but I'm going to be working that day. I'd be curious to see what I'm putting down now with the 185 and new tune.

Don't have a clue. On street tires, it's real tough to launch it from a dig...just too much wheelspin. I might try making a quick 0-60 video.

I just shot to runs real quick, but am going to go grab a bite to eat and will then upload them to youtube. The first one was pretty funny. I just stomped the pedal right off the line, and well, you can see me fighting the back end as it's kicking out. Smoke was everywhere. lol

Wow. That is waaaay too much wheelspin. And you have wider tires too. I was thinking of using the stock size 245 rear after the mods, but after watching these videos, I will definitely upgrade. Last time I timed 0-60 on my stock C32 it was like 4.74. That was with a 1/4 tank of gas and only me in the car. My friend lend me his camera and I recorded the video, but that was over a year ago. I will try to make some new 0-60 videos as soon as I get some time on my hands and post them. Great videos RedBull, thanks for posting them. It gave us an idea of how POWERFUL the car is with the few mods you have and especially the 185 pulley. What do you think it will top out at?

That's a good question, but I probably won't be trying to find that one out anytime soon. I'm sure someone on here has tried.
