RE: speedometer error

["Steve Moresi" <smoresi@domain.elided>]

Actually, I was surprised to find mine is dead on.  Two times, once at about
40  and once at about 70, I have driven by those little radars that tell you
your speed right below the speed limit sign.  Both times the speedo was dead
on!

%For lack of better company, I took my GPS for a ride in my '74 spider to

%actual speed.
%Every other Alfa I've been associated with ('67 and '74 GTV's) all were
%optimistic by at least 10%. They all have/had stock tires and wheels.

%I'm curious as to what the range is, and thought it would make a

%car, GPS, or
%police radar gun (intentionally or otherwise)?
