Default C5 (2001) speedometer and hud too fast

Hey guys, I am looking to buy a 2001 c5 corvette, 81K miles but it has a few issues as most do. The HUD and the speedometer both say you're going about 90 MPH when you're actually going about 60. Didn't know if there is a way to recalibrate the sensors or how I would go about fixing the problem. Thanks guys!

You are reading kilometers. Need to do what was mentioned above. Switch it to MPH.
