All speedo's over read by at least 10%. Lop 13.5mph off the indicated speed (120mph ish)and you'll be closer to your real speed.

I took the wifes 2i up Brunters three times showing an indicated 130+mph but Performance Fords expensive timing kit said I topped out at 119mph.

Genuine speed and real speed are two completely different things
