At 120 mph, the speed limiter was non-stock. And you should have the properly rated tires and a safety-loop for the drive shaft in case it goes. Speed limiter is generally based on tires and drive shaft safe limits.

True, the 14 was 5* tuned, so no speed limits. This is not something I plan to do a lot, or often, but something observed between the two trucks. I never "tried" to do 117 in the 14, it just happened while passing a pair of semi's, and the only way I found out was by looking at the trip info on the Garmin one day and seeing 117MPH top speed! I was, WHAT? and erased it, JIC. It is something I can feel between the two, the 14 felt faster and was compared to my current truck with all being the same except for the FWD of the 4x4 and the gearing. It is thrilling though having the pedal flat down and how smooth the truck gets above 90, but can definitely feel that it is light. Braking on mine with the powerstops is a non issue, I can bring it to a stop very quickly, even at that speed. I wouldn't attempt it with stock brakes, did that on a Flex once...once.

Oh, forgot to mention, that is 6600 pounds going 106! LOL. Stock!
