<VV> Tires & Speedometers

[Ray Rodriguez III]

Well I wasnt around in the sixties <gg>, but I had a 68' Corvette 
convertible for a few years that was stock in appearance, but nicely 
hot-rodded under the hood.  Among other things the differential ratio had 
been changed and the speedo not corrected...  I had an easy calculation when 
I was driving.. easy but BIG!  20% fast!!  It was not a great highway car 
with a rear end ratio like that... and I drove it from NE PA to Texas and 
back.
