i havent used a toptop to see how fast im actually going yet but it seems odd that it would read a different speed then the car itself
What vehicle? GM purposely sets their speedometers to read 2 mph slow (just to save you from tickets). The SG reads what the WHEEL is actually reporting to the ECU, so it's the SPEEDO circuitry that's subtracting 2 mph...hence the two different readings.

FWIW, a 5 mph difference would seem to indicate wrong tyre size (vs OEM).
