In most Porsches,the difference between the indicated speed and your actual speed is 3 MPH. So,your actual speed is 3 MPH less than your indicated speed.
It is a percentage skew done on purpose, rather than a fixed amount.

it might be 3mph at a fixed speed (say 60mph), but the speedo gear is what drives the indicated speed, so that obviously changes with your speed. I also doubt that if you're going 5mph, your speedo would read 8mph. it just doesn't work that way.
Regardless how fast this car was really going, it was a great video. I had not seen this car taken full **** before, so this was eye opening. It is a absolute missile.

Yup. Scales as a percentage, not a fixed delta. Need a GPS to get an accurate speed. If you're gonna risk your life doing this, you'da thought he would have gotten the proper equipment first. Nobody buys the speedo at these speeds.
