I decided to pass a car so i floored it in fifth gear, not insane acceleration or anything, but i caught something on the cluster out of the corner of my eye. In the half a second that i floored the gas, my spedometer climbed all the way to 150!!! After more investigation, i found that the speedo does this everytime i floor the gas in high gear. Also, i had the cruise control on at 75 mph, and it kept bouncing between 75 and 85. I searched, but found only links to slight problems with the needle bobbing a bit back and forth. What is going on? 98 SVT #1652 of 6535 My SVT "If everything seems to be going well, you obviously don't know what the hell is going on."

I was thinking maybe someone just threw in a 3 liter, turbo, and nitrous overnight but somehow i doubt that... 98 SVT #1652 of 6535 My SVT "If everything seems to be going well, you obviously don't know what the hell is going on."
