Since I am already in a pretty pissy mood from work, I'll pick some nits.
First, if your hydraulic slippage on the converter is enough to make the calculation from engine rpm be off that much, I think you have a bigger problem.
Second, the only ticket you would get would be for going too slow, as the slippage would cause the car to be going slower than the calculated speed.
Third, I never meant to imply that this would be a preferred method of measuring the speed of the car, only that engine rpm MAY not be totally meaningless to a speedometer - that it COULD be done that way.
With that said, you can have the last word if you would like it.
