wtf? having larger than stock tires would make it read less than the actual mileage.

Did someone change the gear ratios in that car? I'm not even positive where lambo has the speedo sensor located.

It isn't calibrated to read KM for some bizarre reason is it?

You need to have someone follow you on the exact same road for a few miles, 5 or so. Compare the trip odo on both and see how it comes out.

That or put the front driveshaft back in and quit doing so damn many burnouts

Are you on lambopower? If so look up D Wiggs, he has a nice black murci (very similar to yours) and has been converted to RWD.

Or we can leave yours AWD, throw a couple turbos on it, and still have lots of fun.
