Re: What can I do in my Sweptline
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.

Re: What can I do in my Sweptline
my excitement will be driving my truck down a perfectly smooth road, dropping the front end to oh say 3 inches, then dropping the rear all the way to the ground and DRAGGIN it :D

U know me, always late to the party....MountainMoparRobin wrote:have you ever thought if you were under no pressure of worrying about breaking the law, or gettin a ticket, just what can your Sweptline do? Have you just wanted "to let it all hang out?" Do you wish you could just floor it and see what she'll do?
To answer your question with another....
CAN I DO IT NAKED ?

Re: What can I do in my Sweptline
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
