So you're saying the car is intuitive, and that it can decide for itself when it needs to adjust for changes in gear ratios or wheel sizes?? Hmmmm,

i have had a million different wheel/tire combos and never once changed my spedo settings... but, my spedo doesnt read correctly either.

i am about 4-6 mph off with the current setup at 70mph.

Has nothing to do with believing you. You are just incorrect.

I told you I will publicly declare that you were correct when you prove it. You haven't even tried to explain how your car monitors the height of tires and gear ratios yet.

FWIW, I believe there are tables in HP Tuners that you enter diff gear ratio and tire diameter. I haven't used mine for awhile so somebody please correct me if I am wrong. However, I thought the computer could make adjustments for small changes referencing engine rpm, gear selection and wheel sensors

For what it's worth, I seen an ad in WCC for a diff that said it included a new "speed sensor"?

Yes the ECU uses a preprogrammed static value to indicate proper speed based on rear end ratio, tire circumference and possibly transmission ratios as well however it is a static value.

It cannot self adjust however! It must be programmed.

I hope the "Bullitt" in Bullitt4110 means something different than Bullitt Mustang, 'cause if it does you're making some of us old Ford guys look bad.....

Nah, you're okay Reid. Didn't you hear, the sensor understands the changes you made and adjusts accordingly.

Well that was a fun read. Lmao. Back to the original topic. Here's some comp grey ones. I'm eyeing them myself. I'm on the fence about spending 4-5k on wheels. I want some, but I like the looks of these and love the cost. I'm up in the air. But strongly considering some comp grey spyders for my yellow z.
