I calculated my speedometer to be ~22.5% off

That car is not road legal.

This is Mississippi homie, they don't do vehicle inspections anymore here. They wouldn't even care if I didn't even have a dashboard or instrument cluster, as long as it runs when you crank it, stops when you hit the brakes, steers, and all the lights work.

That car was a 1991 Corsica. The car I had before was a 1987 Accord, the speedometer on that never worked at all. I just drove at the pace of traffic, never had a problem.
