Speedometer reads 2 mph too fast. Fixable?
I have used a portable gps in a number of cars which shows driving speed. Every car has matched the speed the gps shows except mine. The speedo is 2 mph over the actual speed. Can this be fixed?

are you running stock tires for your make/model/year?
if so, a +2 mph difference, dont know if Porsche would fix that to be honest
had a BMW 540 speedo that was off by 8 mph due to up sizing of rims.

Hmmm. I don't know. An $81,000 car. It'd be nice if it were accurate.
I am running stock turbo look 18" rims and spec tires.

I've got this problem too, my 2002 996tt's speedo is 3 mph too fast. It has stock wheels right now, but I'm going to put on the 1'' larger 997tt wheels soon and am waiting to see how the new wheels affect this (although I'm keeping ride height within 3/12 of an inch, so probably wont' affect).
If it was too slow, that'd be fine, but I'm annoyed its too fast because its putting 6% (at 50mph average) more miles on the car than I"m actually driving. It does seem like everyone who's noticed this problem is it being too fast, maybe Porsche is trying to make us think we are going faster than we are.
