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!
