Hurry up. I need options since my wife is disappointed in just the H-pipe that I have been perfectly happy with. She said it does not have enough “rumble”.

We took a trip to Denver over the holiday weekend for a wedding. Of course, we took the 'stang. I had my wife snap a pic of the dash. The cruise was set at 84. Yet the needle on the speedometer was reading 86. I was shocked how well the cruise control did in the hills coming back. 6th gear at 84-85 mph and never had to shift. I figured it would bog down some and I'd have to stab the clutch and downshift, but it never happened, even on the longer hills. Anyways, has anyone else noticed the difference between the cruise speed and the speedometer?

is the needle zero'd properly?
I have no idea. Apparently it must not be. How would one go about adjusting it? Not that it really matters, it's a sort of built-in saftey factor for me, as I tend to drive with a heavy right foot. I just found it a bit odd.

My 17 GT is the same with the spedo indicating a slightly higher speed than the cruise control set. Verified cruise control accuracy with gps.
I just attributed it to my driver position, slightly being off to the side of spedo and not directly in front. It is annoying but tolerable.
Also, you have at least one low tire air pressure.

I already wear glasses. Two pair even, as I can't stand the bi/multi focal glasses. Huge pain in the ass. As far as the 83 vs 84, I guess she snapped the pic at 83, not 84. My bad. :sunglasses:

No, the car didn't pick up the new tpms when I had the new wheels put on last year. I've tried to do the re-learn by letting the air out of the tires routine, but that didn't work. Par for the course for me.

Looks like photo parallax. When you're cruising, put your eye in center alignment with the speedo. From the normal driver's seat position, the speedo is off center and you'll get parallax. I've checked this on my GT and the speedo reads what the cruise control is set to.

I realize I'm slightly off-center, but I'm not quite sold on that yet. I'll check it out on the way home tonight.
