i would try an experiment and gun it and see where it takes you, then go easy (no/low boost, easy on pedal) til redline and see what mph that takes you to. could be the amount of throttle (revving at max before trans reaches top of gear) or wheel spin i typically get 35+ mph

then again, i'm a fighter jet mechanic, not a GM Tech, so if it seems out of the norm to you, I'd have them take it in under warranty to get it looked at

I never really paid attention to the speedo in first, but it certainly is more than 20 as someone else posted...
