Re: Speedometer off?

[dwmartin@domain.elided]

My 87 Spider Quadrifoglio has stock wheels and stock size tires:
Wheels: 6Jx15H2;  Tires: 195/60R15
A few weeks ago I purchased a GPS, and soon afterwards, for grins & giggles,
I decided to turn it on and set it on top of the dash as I was cruising down
the expressway at indicated 65 mph.
Guess what the GPS said that my speed was?  75 mph
I slowed to 55 indicated - GPS said a little under 65
Sped up to 75 indicated - GPS said about 85.
And so now I know why I pass everyone on the road.

I have briefly considered trying to get it fixed, but then there is
the super excuse "Scout's honor, officer, my speedometer read 65 mph".
(Probably won't work.)
