Hello,
I saw that too and I was actually showing 90 when the reading indicated 78.
THen I did alittle quick math to figure out what I was running at when I was
at an indicated 159mph while on a 3 mile straight on Hwy 505 out of
Vacaville.
Last year on the same stretch with Ken the Datster I was only able to get it
up to 5300-5400 RPM. This year with a hardtop I was able to get it to a
steady 5900rpm.
Yeah baby!
