    40km/h on GPS is 42km/h on MFI displayed speed
    50km/h on GPS is 52km/h on MFI displayed speed
    60km/h on GPS is 62km/h on MFI displayed speed
    70km/h on GPS is 72km/h on MFI displayed speed
    80km/h on GPS is 83km/h on MFI displayed speed
    90km/h on GPS is 93km/h on MFI displayed speed
    100km/h on GPS is 105km/h on MFI displayed speed
    110km/h on GPS is 115km/h on MFI displayed speed
    120km/h on GPS is 125km/h on MFI displayed speed
    130km/h on GPS is 136km/h on MFI displayed speed
    140km/h on GPS is 146km/h on MFI displayed speed
    150km/h on GPS is 156km/h on MFI displayed speed
    160km/h on GPS is 167km/h on MFI displayed speed

    Once you've identified the actual speed via GPS, you're pretty right to go at the MFI displayed speeds and you won't be pinged.

    I don't know about him but I've regularly done 160kph on a racetrack.

    I also have access to hundreds of kilometres of private roads where I've done up to 190kph.
