2017 Camaro 2SS max speed 200 kmh.

When switching from US to metric units, the speedometer scale is still between 0 to 200, so it just sits at 200, when you go beyond 200 kmh.

Does anyone have the same problem? Is this by design?

That's because the speedo is designed primarily for mph. Changing to km/h only changes the way the needle responds. It cannot change the 200 because that part is not digital. How often are you driving 124 mph (200km/h)?

As caSStro18 said, if it really bothers you can spend like hundred for a mph spec cluster and send it in to get programmed for $200 so like $300 for the cluster to be mph.

I don't think you can open the glass or gain entry to put a cover on it, it could be possible

There are two physical SS/ZL1 speedo designs with the 2016-18, one for the US (this is what you have) and another one for EU/AS, see below.

If this limitation is really a bother, you can obtain an EU/AS cluster and have experts like White Automotive & Media program it up for you to enable a swap.
