Why do ppl say the valver hits 60mph in second? mine doesnt, it does about 57 in 2nd then its on the 7200 rpm limiter !

unless my speedo is wrong???

every valver I have been in hit over 60 in 2nd... my old one did, Griff's does 65mph in 2nd... RR will tell you if the speedo is out.

It could well be out m8 as its just under 60 on the speedo as it bounces off the limiter :?

no doubt in the way it goes :lol:

Dunno why that is.

On average i've found the Renault speedos over read by about 5 mph at 50, and about 8mph at 100

Dependent on wheel size too as that can throw speedo out.

So all talk about crap ones etc can be based on wheel size which impact speedo reading.

Mine is on the standard 185/55/15 rubber so not to certain why it would read that.
Speedo doesnt wobble either.

Its not the gearbox on the williams but revs that stops it getting to 60. Doesn't rev as high as valvers.

My old valvers both used to hit 63mph in 2nd.
