    With GPS you measure the exact speed right? Because all speedometers have some digression as I know... is it big(the digression I mean :P)?

    I found that higher speed my speedo is very accurate (using a tom tom one gps unit). It is slightly off at lower speeds, but only as much as 2 mph Pretty darn good for a speedometer i reckon! (Well apart from the slight wobble, I need a new cable).

    GPS is a true speed reading yeah. We tested 2 lives for accuracy and it's pretty accurate. GPS 70mph was 72mph on the clocks, 90mph GPS was 93mph on the clocks, so not that far out at all.

    On my 172 it's not as accurate, 160mph is 151mph on GPS

    the higher the speed the more otu it will be.

    mines 145 on speedo and 139 on gps maxed out atm.

    A 16v with either a williams engine fitted, or more popular a megane 2.0l bottom end and clio 1.8 16v head
