The size of wheels can alter the speedo and RPM.

This happens a lot to people unless you purposely try to keep your wheel tire combos within factory spec. Most people go for looks and diameters change even when you stretch tires.
Here's me
1997 5spd - 3380 at 80mph on the speedo and speed sensor (I have a Defi HUD). The GPS reads 78mph.

Oh wow, that's awesome. I get about 280 on a full tank of mixed driving. Something must be seriously wrong with my car, then
