Last night I was pulled over and the police officer said I was traveling at 60mph but I KNOW I was somewhere around 45. Funny thing is there was a car driving right next to me at the same speed. Thanks for any input on this. Tony #10781 STSSTEEL Wappingers Falls, NY >>> I would assume that the very nature of radar would make a DeLorean no different from any other car. it's most likely that the bored cop wanted to have something to talk about at the next coffee break. otherwise, your problem could be: 1. wrong size left front wheel 2. miscalibrated speedometer 3. a totally different speedo system than stock and it doesn't work well! the calibration is easily checked if you can find a construction zone where they always have those 'know your speed' digital signs up. they 'gun' you and it displays your speed, with the intent of getting you to slow down. i found that my speedometer was about 3 mph faster than my 'gunned' speed at about 70 mph (speedo displayed 70, sign showed 67). Cop Ego is probably the #1 problem, however.
