Ferrari Mailing List: Re: some F355 questions

[Dave Craig (dave.craig]

One helpful hint here, make sure that your GPS is set to mph and not in
knots.  Most GPS receivers come defaulted in knots, check the units in
setup.  1mph = .86897 knots

(who happens to have a Mondial that reads speed low, 85mph indicated = very
close to 100mph actual)

Yup,  that's exactly what I'm saying.  When your speedo reads 100 mph,
you're
lucky to be going 90 mph (actual), more likely to be in the upper  80s.  

Any of you with a handheld GPS device can check it out, or  else just use a
decent watch and time the mileage  markers.

Vty,




Ferrari 355 at 70mph is actually about 63mph.
