I asked him to clock me coming down a straight stretch of road. After a little grumbling he agreed. I held the Box (986) dead on 60 mph. When I circled back he said, "Looks accurate to me, I had you at 55 the whole time."
Just as I thought.
yeah GPS says mph is ~10% off all the time

I just thought it was a "Porsche" thing from the google searches I've done
