You can probably just track the car body’s velocity

I will try it out, im a programmer but i don’t have too much experience with these types of systems

I also wanted to ask how could i covert the speed text into MPR?

#5

MPR? Did you mean miles per hour?

#6

yea i did, or some way to make it easier for players to read

According to the roblox world panel, 16 studs = 4.48 meters, therefore 1 stud = 4.48 / 16 = 0.28 meters. Knowing that 1 stud is 0.28 meters, you can easily convert the velocity in studs to meters and then to KMH or MPH. (1 kilometer = 1000 meters, 1 mile = 1609 meters)
