Either your car isn't stock and has much more horsepower (I/H/E) or you are mistaken.  Also, how can you specify to the mile per hour on anything over 120?  And then, you will have about 5 miles an hour error that is inherent, and relative to the speed you are going.  At 80 mph, my spedo is off by 3mph (according to my turbo timer, which is hardwired to my ecu.)  It will be an increasingly larger margin of error as your speed rises.
