Pipe, jets & a bit of ram air effect @ night so air is denser & THE BIGGEST PART I don't even pretend to think the speedo was right I just know what it said the needle was over 160, not quite to 170 but I didn't stare @ it very long. This was also over the course of probably 5 miles balls to the wall, I just glanced down to see how fast I was going before I had to back out of her to make a curve. All promted by some jacka$$ that had been tailgating me for miles(I thought it was an LEO) until he passed me then I was just pissed. Passed his a$$ w/ authority & never let off til I had to out of fear of not making a RH sweeper @ that speed.
I would offer to take it out & reverify but its just to damn cold right now.....LOL.....just to avoid the "fish story" I don't actually think I was going that fast, thats just what the gauge indicated. I do know its very accurate up to 72, if the LEO sponsored radar run was right anyway( it only cost $180 to find that out)
