Interesting question.
I've thought of this...but I've got nothing.
I've heard stories of sound engineers back when stopping the tape and yelling, "It's DISTORTING!"
I think maybe more is just better!
Look at the cars of the day.
My '56 Ford with 312, 4-barrel and dual exhaust would go well over 100, but there weren't many places where you could do it. It was just good to look down at the speedo.
Maybe 12 on the dial is reminiscent of all those speedos that went to 120.
