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

[goblues38]

sorry....you don't "accidentally" go 125.

I did the 1,000 mile drive between Denver and STL.....600 of that is wide open plains of Kansas. Even with no traffic and just cruising along, you have to work to get above 100mph.

That being said.....while I did not hit 125, I did go 100+ for long stretches of road. The truck is very stable at speed. Not anywhere near the any of the audi's I have owned in the past, but very stable.

Well, there’s your answer.

Because Chrysler products are half engineered, poorly built, ancient rolling chitboxes.

I’ve owned multiple performance vehicles. As long as the road was good, they were smooth as glass up top. Obviously the long travel suspension and dampeners on a Raptor help a lot, but all my cars were tightly sprung machines and they never had a problem.

lol no issues with my last chryslers, supercharged 2014 hemi durango. Decided it wasn't lifted enough for me. or my 2015 Ram Rebel.. Just wasn't raptor enough for me. Post about Fords on a chrysler forum and you'll probably get people saying that about ford hah.

I still would not go over a 100 mph in the Gen 2 Raptor. The Gen 1 feels more stable at high speeds due to the large big block it has hanging off the front of it.

No sir. This isn’t a brand bias thing. I was “fortunate” enough to work next to a facility that serviced Chrysler products. It was an eye opening experience, which I found to be rather unfortunate because I do like a lot of what they have to offer.

Before I bought my car, I wanted a 392 Charger. (It’s a massive fat car with a tiny interior and a torque factory under the hood.)

The Viper was way ahead of its time along with both the Grand and original Cherokees.

When the Charger/Challenger and 5.7/6.1 HEMI came out in the mid 2000s along with the SRT program, they were very much ahead of their time.

The problem is, they don’t have the engineering budget that Ford and GM do and it shows. It’s shows in a lot of the corner cutting they do, it shows in their reliability, and it shows in their design.

Until they figure out how to solve that issue, they’ll always be the distant third unwanted brother to Ford and GM.

naw man. he's on 20's.

I'm sure he upgraded the brakes to compensate for increased weight of the wheel and tires...

I mean, He's got to be following the 10 10 10 1 rule since he's rolling 125 on public roads...

Next we're gonna find out he's running Pirelli Super Trofeo R's

Put an exhaust on it, that sounds the part.... Then you'll know a bit better that you're hauling ass.

 

[Diesel71]

exactly. You’re honestly an F’n a$$hole if you think it’s ok to drive this truck 100+ on anything but empty salt flat/desert/deserted hwy

Lol, settle down Alice

I feel like I'm going to get a speeding ticket every time I back down my driveway.

I have a Cobb stage2 and its amazing how smooth the power and speed is....

Call ********. There is no way in hell you have no idea that you are not going 125mph. I can tell even in my GT500 let alone the raptor. This is a troll post.
