I'm going to claim that I don't think anybody here really knows.

That's contradictory. A lagging speedometer would show 60mph after you actually reached it, not before.

Now, if you have a speedo that predicts the future, that'd be pretty cool.

D'OH! I guess you're right. Actuallly I phrased that wrong. If it is in fact lagging. Then when it registers 60mph, then you have in reality already past it.
So then if you are basing 0-60mph based on the speedo and using a stopwatch, then the car should actually be a touch faster than the time you will get. How's that?
