I put 5000Km on in three months but coming straight out of my Pinto my Mustang still felt slow.so it never occurred to me it wasn't still 3.08.The car came with 215 55 16's on it and I blamed the speedo being off on them, it' off by about 5%. Now I understand why you all say these cars are slow from the factory new it must have really been a slug. Doesn't feel too bad now but is definitely no powerhouse. Still need to check the speedo gears and see what they've done there, new set are sitting on the bench ( 6 tooth drive and 18 tooth driven ) so I'm good no matter what I find now.Like I said like to have all my ducks in a row before I begin a project, just made a newbie mistake this time, should have known to check first.</p></blockquote><p></p>
