There are several speedometer "healer" boxes that allow you to correct the speedometer... especially useful if you change drives, tire sizes etc.

- July 14, 2010, 22:05:19 PMtrust me when I say 65-70 makes for a better ride. I won't be pulling those speeds again. I also seem to be going slower than the speedometer reads. I will test it by having my wife follow in the car.

I'm happy at 70 all day.

Now I probobly will not get anywhere near the top speed, I just wanted to know becasue I could not find it on the specifications.
