yeah, but if you actually bounce the car off the limiter the speed-o will register over 64..more like 68. Also i did a mathmatical calculation on a rpm->mph spread sheet and it said around 70 mph. The speed-o in the S2000 takes a while to catch up to the actual speed of the car. If you put the gas about 2/3 of the way down and let it wind up to 9k slower then if you floor it...you can see it hit about 42 in first and right around 70 in second.

The S2000 speedometer, being digital, is a little slow/behind during acceleration. If you're racing it's going to look more like you shift at the low 60's - but usually I'm watching the tach. If you were to accelerate slowly, allowing the speedometer to catch up to your speeds, then it might appear to be a higher number - like these guys are mentioning. Anyone agree, disagree?
