just for a comparison here is very old video of mine with a bl mp7.5, at 1.10 e.g. there is a pass by that seems not so slow just from watching it. and that buggy not even reached 50mph back then. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgJpHjMqqbM

whatever. its not that i cared much but i was just a little surprised from watching the vid.

It sometimes depends on the frame rate of the video, it might make a vehicle look slower. From what I've been told the GPS (If you do get a reading) are sometimes more accurate then the radar guns available to the public. I've also noticed that if the camera is still, the vehicles being video taped seems faster, but when the camera follows the vehicle it seems slower.
