... like stated before, speedos are VERY unaccurate at that level of speed.




Agreed, speedometers almost always say you are going faster than reality. I have a JUGS Radar gun that I bought for baseball and it is accurate within a half mph. My friends and I tested many new cars, and the actual speed always showed up slower than the speedometer on every car. Anyways, on SE's like my car, isn't the governor set at 112mph? Because my speedo usually reads between 120-125 mph when it hits the govenor, meaning that my speedo is about 10 mph off at that speed.
