[DeTomaso] Recalculating odometer

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Thanks SOBill....Sheeeit, I don't care about my speed or whose behind me. I just want to use the odometer to set my line going into off camber or hard turns and dips at sanctioned road races. 
   
  P.S.  I don't race anyone on the street.

  Your speedometer will read 11.9% (4.22/3.77) less than your actual speed.

To make the correction in your head, add the most significant digits of the 
speedo reading to the speedo reading and the sum will be very close.

Examples:
Speedo = 60, 60+6 = 66 (actual = 67.2 .....1.8% error)
Speedo = 65 65+6 = 71 (actual = 72.8 ..... 2.5% error)
Speedo = 85 85+8 = 93 (actual = 95.2 ..... 2.4% error)
Speedo = 150 150+15 = 165 (actual = 168 ..... 1.8% error)

I'm sure the fuzz will cut you some slack since you and your car look like 
law abiding types.
