I've seen 130 a couple times in my 91 rs. Don't know if it will go faster as I keep finding traffic.

hehe, I don't know what to congratulate you on first, but way to go with the scholarship, and getting a GSR is the finest icing on the cake

MY 98 GSR would get to 130 pretty easily, 130 to 150 was very slow getting there. I have a 99 GSR now and it will do 150. As long as you have a good long hwy with hardly no curvs. Hell me and my buddie average 130-150 mph up interstate 75 comming back from the Nopi Nats.

after 100 your speedo starts to go off, and as you go faster it goes way way way off. I was sitting with my buddy in his BMW m3 at 140 when he got hit by a radar (undercover camaro). the cop clocked us at 126. the speedo was giving a false reading, 14mph difference. And that's in a BMW, In germany there are no speed limits on the autobahn. so you would assume that a BMW's speedo would be a little more accurate than any other car.

I don't know about the whole "accurate because of the autobahn" statement, that's like saying no one in the US is jobless because this is the land of opportunity. After all, a host of BMWs come from a plant in North Carolina, so I guess the autobahn theory goes out the window. Generally though, speedos are off by about 4-6%, so naturally, the difference between actual and indicated speed will increase as you go faster.

Actually you're incorrect. Car and Driver did an investigation into speedometer fraud and BMW had the most inaccurate speedometer of the lot. Domestic (GM) and Japanese speedometers were far more accurate.
