Worst error was a Gallardo that did a GPS 177mph when showing 190mph.

Best speedo was a 700bhp Nissan GTR R34, which showed 200mph on the speedo when GPS was 199mph, but this was only because I had deliberately slightly over-sized the tyres (295/35 front and rear).
where were you driving all these cars at these insane speeds????

At 70, my speedo reads 1 MPH faster also (compared to GPS). That's a lot more accurate than my older Porsches where even the odometer was 5% optomistic.

It's kmh where I live, my GPS recorded 265 kmh when my speedo showed 267 kmh. Quite accurate if you ask me.
