[DeTomaso] Speedo question

[michael frazier]

I'd just keep it in mind and not worry about it.  When you're in a speed controlled area where it counts...you're safe.  Where it doesn't
...who cares.  I know I'm at 25mph per 1000rpms in 5th and that's close enough for govt. work.  $300 for a speedometer isn't worth it for me.  Just my thoughts.
