That is a very good explanation that could be it, but why would the speedo then go down right away if I press the brakes?? I have an chassis dynamometer at my work that runs a digital speedometer. I'll check it out.
No, the rate in which the speedo moves is very slow. It is accurate enough to see the rate of change that occurs. Sure the speedo could be off by 5mph but the change of speed can still be monitored.
I even tested to see if the speedo was too slow to react by slamming on the brakes, but the...
This is on a complete level surface. It will even do it on a slight uphill. I'm really looking for someone to shed some light on this issue. Unless you've actually tried the scenario I'm explaining you can argue it on paper all day. And I will agree with you, to my knowledge this should not...
It's nothing to do with "my car" all cars do it. Even if you don't press the clutch and allow the compression of the engine to slow the car when the throttle is closed there is a second or two where the speed still increases. I understand how basic physics states that this should not occur...
I have an interesting scenario that a co-worker and I have been arguing over.
I noticed that when I accelerate at full throttle to 80km/h then quickly take my foot off the throttle and simutaneously push in the clutch (as to remove the accelerated force) the velocity remains increasing to...
