MOST cars have 1-5 as you state. Reverse is still car-specific in europe, and the
DeLorean's is to the left of 2, and requires the shifter to be lifted to slot it into
reverse.

The US spec production speedo goes to 85. The BTTF car's was doctored to go to 95. The
Euro-spec cars have 140mph speedos and someone reproduced them in a small number with
some slight modifications. The 170mph speedo is/was an aftermarket option from some
DeLorean vendors. The Canadian spec cars have 240kph speedos.
