Judging from the other formulas you probably have 3.27's. There is a way to check: it involves jacking up the rear and rotating the rear wheels and counting how many revolutions of the driveshaft...one tire revolution....if driveshaft turns ( trannie in neutral ) 3.73 times that's the gear you have. This is for a rear with LSD. |

What happened to Buy American? Did they mandate the 85mph speedo on BMWs, Hondas and Toyotas? I wonder. If the Gov mandates these stupid rules, then the death of the american car industry is on their hands! |

As per the 1979 NHTS law: "In 1979 the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) passed a law that limited speedometers to 85 MPH. The same law also required emphasis on 55 MPH (the Federal speed limit enacted in '73). Unsure when the speedometer law was repealed, but max speed remained 55 until 1988 when it was upped to 65 (where it stands today). " More info on the law can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Maximum_Speed_Law **Like i stated earlier, it was to conserve fuel and certain environmental factors. If you read the wikipedia link, tests showed 1-.5% fuel conserved as a result of this so it wasn't really a fuel saving measure..just the government intervening in something else. I have to admit though, there really isn't any need to see how fast your car can go if you can't tell the speed but now w/gps and all, it shows speed on your cheapest garmin out there so mandates like this would never fly again . |

Makes sense...but I like the analogy to the scene in Spinal Tap where the guy shows his amps have volume controls that go to "11" instead of "10"! I like my speedos to show 140! Not 85! |
