My SVX's speedometer, checked by GPS, has proven to be very accurate, but I think that's just luck. Other cars have not proven to be as accurate. Above 110mph, the discrepancy in mine gets noticable.
I've found my speedometer to be dead nuts with new tires. With the old worn tires, the speedometer was 60 and GPS speed was 57. Right before Reading I had new tires put on, during the trip, the GPS gave an identical reading to the speedo all the way through 85MPH.
