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?

the speedo in my integra never acted wierd. i watched the speedo in 5th from 65 to 115 and it didnt do anything wierd.

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. ???

buried the speedo in my 95, im guessing maybe around 130'ish, but back in the day had a 90 accord and buried the speedo on that (140 if i remember correctly) but i think the speedo mightve been screwed up
