I redid this to try a better copy.

Print out and try it. Just need to go measure your tire diameter.

The program doesn't take into account anything other then transmission ratios and engine speed. Nothing like CoD or torque is taken into account. Its working on a thoery nothing more. Its a guide nothing more to what the car could do given the best condtions engine etc

None of them are correct so far.

I have a

79' ZX 5-speed

R200 3.90 diff

225/50ZR16's

At 3000 RPM's my speed is exactly 80mph and I've done the mile on the frreway (using markers, in exactly 1 minute @ 60 MPH. My speedo is dead-on.

So far, the second chart from E-ticket says my tires are 24.9" tall when they are new and 24.25" tall it also says that my 3.90 diff and 79' 5-speed are WAY off and I should only be doing 65 MPH (ish)

Is there a scale that actually works out there. or is my Z retarded?
