As said, most cars will give you an optimistic reading on your speed, but another thing to note is that the ECU will probably read closer. This car is almost right on the digital speedo when at highway speeds (I measured with Time/Distance and 10Hz GPS; I was impressed!).

Going from "normal" cars with 5-7% optimism to one with a more exact reading could cause you to misjudge the "extra" that most officers will allow. Adding the tire diameter difference will squeeze that "extra" a little bit more.

You also have a nice looking car, and he might have more incentive to check it out. I know I've been pulled over a few times with no ticket (no front plate, no signal on turn), and I've never been lucky enough to get away without a ticket before.
