I guess the only thing left to do is take my friend along with his phone (htc incredible) and get a vid of my car hitting the limiter at 110-111. And then confirm that my speedo is accurate with the GPS feature in his phone?

I posted up a separate calculator with a correction factor for various real world variances and even provided two links to mag tests showing the 3rd gear speed of the camaro at 110 mph. Let alone my own personal experience which was quickly disregarded as a speedometer error in my brand new car with factory tires and rims and factory tire pressure.
how the heck am i supposed to respond to a calculator that tries to blame tire diameter on the the rotation of the moon?? I think the GPS thing would be more accurate (but the test on for the speedometer would have to be while the car is accelerating and not at steady state). Of course there would need to be more evidence then just your word as well
