peedometer reading too high
I have a 1993 C4 with automatic transmission purely stock. I was driving along the other day going about 60 mph when the speedometer jumped to around 80 MPH. it's been reading about 20 MPH higher since then. Any ideas as to what it could be?

Check your speeds at several MPH with the GPS and note the values .. Check with speedo at 45 ... 55 .... 65 ..... - trying to interpret a % of error to maybe be more technical in assessing your "said to be" issue.
Does the cruise work?

Thanks WVZR-1 for the feedback. Being a Corvette Rookie, I'm learning something new every time I visit the Forum. The speedo was set to Metric. Guess I should dig deeper into the owner's manual. Thanks again!

40000 MILES is 64375 KILOMETERS - I was looking at a car (not a Corvette) and the car looked very good for the miles. It was a METRIC display and the seller didn't actually know. I didn't buy but the entire cluster was METRIC only.
