i don't think gravity is stronger in that side of the world, i do think they've got better highways, less enforcment and proboably a missing gene in the area of the brain that controlls fear and commonsense.

Thanks fellas, this is the best message board I've ever been on! I didn't know about the spedo being off. How much is it off? Also, I feel that the stock size tires on the front should have been 45 series, the originals just look way too tall. Supposing I get the original make and model tire, but in a 45 series, is there a way I can calculate the mph my spedo will be off? Thanks again!

How did it feel? Calm? Busy? Light?

S2kguy... 45 series tires on the front will not effect your speedo... this car ain't front drive!

 

If you want perfectly accurate speed measurment, get one of these: nu-metrics.com

They are made for measuring distance and they are incredibly accurate (+/- 1 foot / mile) at any speed. I have one in my F250 and use it for marking out sign and cone placement in work zones. It has a speed display that goes up to 199 mph/kph.

 

Yes it was in a downhill...
