The only comments I can make is that in '81? a Ga. State Patrol radar trap got
me at 115 when the speedo indicated 120. He liked the car and wrote it up as
70 in a 55 zone. No mention was made of any large errors in a Car & Driver
comparison of the '75 Bricklin / Corvette.

I received some mail asking about the speedometer accuracy. Does anyone
know if the following information is correct?
When you answer, please be sure to include RMoore2208@aol.com in the
TO address. I don't know if he is on the list yet.
