Nah, the car mags use various speedometer technologies, not the car's speedo. Years ago, it was a "fifth wheel", like a bike wheel, held on with magnets or suction cups. That evolved into an optical device that works like an optical mouse. Some magazines use GPS-based units instead of optical sensors now, but I believe the optical speed sensor is still the gold standard.
