I raced a GSXR on the freeway back in the day with my crvtec turbo setup in my crx. The guy said we were doing 150.

About 5 mins after the engine was done.

I hit mach 5 until the sonic booms started killing puppies and small children. We all know that stock speedoes are way off at above 100mph, right?

Stock speedos overestimate speed by a MINIMUM of 2-5%

I've paced my speedos with those police radar signs and they all seem to be pretty accurate. Even my old POS 1985 Ford E350 had a very accurate speedo.
