Everyone's does it until you turn it off. I turned mine off after 2 minutes but left it on for the tach. Red just means you're moving at a dangerously high rate of speed. Nothing more than that.

it's fascinating how some people know so little about a car they paid almost $40,000 for...

Mine does the same thing, yellow then red. It's good for peripherial vision while keeping your eyes on the road and the cars your screaming past.

Posted speed limits vary from city to city, state to state, country to country.

Outside of a handful of locations, there are no posted speed limits in excess of 100mph anywhere in the world.

When you hit 110 MPH the red ring starts flashing.
