Default Cruise control reading double speed

Just bought a C5 and love it. An issue the previous owner has and was not able to resolve: When pushing "Cruise" the dash will read double the speed I am actually going. It works at lower speeds but then shuts off if I am going say 60 - and it reads 120. Computer issue?

Default Cleared but still not resolved.

I got everything cleared but still have the same problem with the cruise control. Any other thoughts?

Okay, let's assume that the car has been modified. We have to figure out what was done to it.
1. What engine? LS-1, LS-6, or something else?
2. Does the car have a tune?
3. Does it have a 200 or 300 mph speedometer?

1. Engine is an LS-1.
2. Does not have a tune that I know of but it is possible.
3. 200 mph speedometer.

Thank you!
