Honestly, your speedometer could be off by as much as 10%. Above an indicated 100mph, that's a lot. If you're not measuring your speed with GPS, radar or other timing equipment besides the speedometer, you really don't know how fast you were going.
Bro! The Autobahn speedometer pic was confirmed by two Porsches following the SVX. They both confirmed that our babe topped 172mph!!

I wish somebody here still have that picture of the SVX between the two Porsches... That would confirm that Sonar's record was beaten!
