Odometer trip trap!

Had a fiddle with the EVIC today, (as you do!) and found by chance after pushing the knob in to reset the 'B' trip odometer, it also shows at the top, the vehicle's highest speed attained, thus far!!. Dosen't do this on the 'A' trip tho. Perhaps not a good idea if the wife happens to see it!! This maybe old news to many, but I'm not sure if it is on the earlier SRT8's EVIC display, as in the 0-100 gizmo!! cheers....Jim ........by the way, mine is a mere and modest 133.1kph shhhh.......
PS: If your EVIC can show the kph/mph? speedo readout, this is where the pushing in of said trip/reset button brings it up on screen.

Can anyone in the US w/ an '07 SRT confirm this? How bout '07 C's - can anyone confirm?

NZSRT8: just curious, have you found a way to 'reset' the high speed?

133.1 KPH?? Please tell me this is a typo. No one should admit such a shortfall. You did mean TWO 33.1 KPH - right?

No, I'm guessin' it's the same as the 0-100 screen, retaining the quickest run....
EDIT: yes, NYA3O, on looking at it again, there's a right pointing arrow I missed 1st time, pushing this brings the zero reset...

Can you bring up the kph/mph digital speedo readout screen?

I did it on my '07 300C rental, but I didnt' see it retain a 'high speed' anywhere. Hopefully Mr. Happy can confirm one way or another.

Sorry but true, I'm sitting on 50 demerit points, a penalty system here in NZ, and had I been caught by your equivalent of a smokeybear, doing that, I'd be walking now, as 100 demerits means instant 3mth loss of license;(, so I gotta be very careful, and with my luck, a cop is always somewhere close around my area!!
