Kinda like a Ranger bass boat. All those guys in Rangers claim they have 75 mph boats yet I pass them all the time in my Triton with the GPS reading in the 60s

Actually I recommend a GPS to calibrate your speedo. Even with some of the errors from the ionosphere and the quality of the unit most of us can afford, from a relative point of view they are at least as good as the cop's speed gun.
