Default Yet another "how fast" question...

...but this one's a bit different. Under normal driving, how fast does your speedo go back to zero when you stop? I noticed mine has a delay. I come to a complete stop, and a second or two later, it reads the zero. :confused: Are they all like this?

seems like it hangs on 2 MPH for a sec? Fairly normal. I wouldn't say that it takes several seconds but it certainly takes long enough for me to notice.

It just doesn't update super quickly, I can EASILY out accelerate the speedo through third gear.

I dont recall the LT1 readout, its a digital speedo right?

I know theres a delay in the signal to the dash for the regular digidash. Same for the Tach.
