I've hit an indicated 125 at the track. Why "indicated".. well.. Porsche speedos are not as accurate as they used to be. I have read (online) many reports that on the newer cars they can read as much as 10% too high. More often 5-8% high. So.. 125.. maybe that was only actually 112.. maybe it was dead on though.. Doubt it was reading "low" though
