Fullcrew7.3 is gaining momentum as a positive member of FTE.
My speedo is the stock Canadian model. We had to do some extrapolating. You see, my speedo reads slow a lot. With the 37" tires i'm going 100 kph (62 mph) when it reads 82 kph. This I have checked with GPS. Likewise 50 kph(31mph) it reads 40. So when it was reading 175kph and climbing (at this point I quit looking as I wanted to focus on the driving part!), I roughly calculated with the same scale, I was going over 200kph. Now, in the spirit of empirical evidence and science, I'll go out next chance I get and verify that with the GPS and video camera. I'll try to get to it this weekend. My camera man (13yo son) in eagerly awaiting our next test run as well. Another diehard powerstroker in the making.
