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

[Kurator]

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.

Problem with owning a Raptor!

What year is your Charger? It depends on the vehicle a lot times and if you took a Raptor to 125 mph then you are lucky to be alive.

2015 Charger RT. Why am I lucky? NJ Turnpike was empty with only two of us driving (car in the front and me), plus that stretch of the road near Philadelphia fork (exit 7) was just repaired and smooth as a butter.

You're sitting higher up off the road with a softer suspension so it doesn't "feel" as fast. Try doing 125 mph or whatever at the indy racecar experience and it'll seem much faster.

The Raptir has too much ground clearance, i have owned a Gen 1 and my current Gen 2. They get floaty on anything around 100 plus, although the twin turbo Gen 2 is fast. I think of it as a detuned GT engine.

I defiantly feel the speed in my Raptor. It's the first truck I've owned and nowhere near as sure footed at speed compared to the cars I owned before. I'm not complaining, I knew what it was when I got it and i'm more into off-road performance than on-road performance these days but yeah... I notice it.

What kind of moron:

a) 'accidentally' goes 100+mph in a Ford Raptor? Yeah, it's a real speed machine (pretty much a Ferrari). Then,

b) rather than slow down to a safe velocity, asks his wife to determine speed using a cellphone app.? Yeah stupid, the simplest explanation is that the speedo is broken. For sure.

Does the tune remove the factory top speed limit of 107mph?

One of the options in COBB accessports is to eliminate top speed limiter
