Default Crazy Speedo?

Hey everyone I'm having an interesting problem with my 06 c6. When I put the car into gear to take off or into reverse sometimes the speedo goes up to a really high speed and it reflects also on the HUD. So I'll be at a red light in neutral and I'll go to put it into first and sometimes it'll say 399 on the HUD and 200 on the physical speedo and then go back down to normal. Sometimes I put it into reverse and it does the same thing. It doesn't always necessarily go all the way to 200mph sometimes it's 170 and so on. The speed is accurate and neither the HUD or speedometer have stopped working they both work fine it just does that sometimes when I put it in gear. I looked all over the forums and couldn't find it. Any tips?

You need to take that thing to the track! I'm thinking low 8s easily.

Haha I know no way I'll ever see 8s if anything 9s making just over 700 to the wheels on spray. Anyhow it's not a huge deal the speedo works it's just that I know it's there and it bugs me lol
