Does the RS500 have a different limiter and top cog / diff ratio from a 2wd saph?
If not, then 157mph

Of course not
My cossie is well out on GPS!
I had an old mk3 astra SRI that used to show nearly 130mph, but it was only about 116 off the GPS.
The most accurate one I've tested is my MK2 ST-24 which is always 2-3mph out, even at well over a tonne
