I take it all cars have a misreading by a couple of mph's?

If someone said there digi dash had an indicated speed of 142mph whats that more closer to?

as far as i understand the digi dash is suposed to be fairly accurate

when i was goin to donny with mate in his nova sri his speedo said 81-82 and mine said 76
i think the more u go ver 100 the more out it is

a couple of weeks ago, i was on the M1 and thought id push it for what i could!

considering its only (was only!) a 1.2i with a back box, the speedo read 106, so what was i actually doing?

cheerz!
