Speedo Seems To Be broke....Just Kidding
Everytime I get into the car the Speedo goes to 70.....WTH
Anyone else having this issue?

Man this car is fun to drive and I am still in my slow break-in period....

You might want to have your foot checked out. Does it seem heavier than usual? I'm told it is a common affliction amongst new car owners.
