Last year on the way to a carshow and was on expressway .My son was following behind in his car.If I came upon a car I passed it ,didn't think anythig about it as speedo said about 70.(pushing the 65 limit).Once we got to our destination my son asked why I was driving so fast and told him 70 was all I was going and he laughed and said by his speedo we were running over 85 and I keep pulling away.Can speedo read wrong at higher speeds as I have had it checked and 35-50mph and checked out ok.(local cops a friend and used his radar).I do know at the speed I was going it was smooth and not close to allout as I still had lots of gas peddle left.Gears are 391s with 235/70r-15 tires....pat

If your speedometer is off it will be off by a ratio. At slower speeds it will be closer to what it reads. The faster you go the more it will be off. I had a Dakota with oversized tires. When the speedometer read 30 I was going 34. When it read 70 I was going 79. I didn't find this out until after I got a ticket.

Sure, their will be females present, some are owners of Sweptlines, but keep in mind I already told everyone its FREE, so if you're planning to charge for your show, well you'll have to be cheap :lol:
