135MPH in traffic would be impressive. In Paris they drive 140mph in their tunnels, from personal experience.

There's error in the speedo so what you observed is not entirely out
of place. I'm sure the ECU is using an electronic measurement of speed
from some sensor that's no doubt more accurate than the speedometer.

Why would it? Which additional sensor would there be? And even more,
what sense would that make?
