Default Do I have a Speedo problem, or are the '00 and '01s wrong?

A question for you guys-- is my Speddo slow, RPM limit to low, or was my '00 wrong???

In my '00, 2nd gear would hit the rev-limiter at 66mph
In my '02, 2nd gear HITS the rev-limiter with an indicated speed of 61mph.

So-- the question: Is something wrong with my '02??

If you're using a "Speedo", then yes, you have a problem.

Sorry, couldn't resist

I would guess that there are slight differences in speedometers and the diameter of the tire would make a difference in actual speed. Could just be that you hit the rev limiter and held it longer than you did on the 02..

If that makes any sense, oh yeah get off the rev limiter and ssshhhhhhhhiiiifffffffffffttttttttttttttttttttt
