I do not "feel" the speed in my Raptor?

So after doing numerous upgrades to brakes, suspension, 20-inch rims and installing COBB Stage2 components (including GooseTuned's tuning), I decided to take my car to amusement park in NJ.

Once on the turnpike, I start following another car and this is where it gets interesting.
After about 5-6 minutes of following, I looked at my speedometer and realized that I was driving at 120-125 miles per hour.

For me, I felt like I was doing 60-70 miles per hour. So I asked my wife to launch waze app on her phone and verify my speed to make sure that my speedometer is not broken. Waze showed only 1-2 mile/hour difference.

Does anyone else have similar experience, where you do not feel any speed in Raptor?

When I try to drive 120-125 in my dodge charger RT, the whole car is shaking and you can feel that you driving fast. No in my Raptor.


Well....you’re comparing a purpose built full size pickup (the best selling purpose built full size pickup) w/ a nasty offroad suspension to...ahhhhh....a dodge...so.....

also- driving your raptor that fast on any public road for any period of time is FAR more ignorant & in violation of putting others in harms way than the snowflakes yappin bout face masks. This thing is not meant to be driven that kinda speed on the street- you ain’t “stopping or turning or swerving” if shit goes south at the speed- nope, you’ll be hurtling crushing & killing whatever’s in your path

Leave that for the dodge (Jesus)

This isn't the '80s anymore guys. Honda accords can cruise at 135 relatively comfortably these days. A full size truck will feel fine up to about 120. If you don't think so, you don't have enough time behind the wheel. Is it as planted as a new S4, no. Will it handle an open highway better than most econoboxes, yes.

This isn’t an average full size truck suspension professor.
