Is it just me or.....

is it just me or does the speedometer always feel like its over-estimating my travel speed? i know its a smooth ride but even when the speedometer shows im going 60 i feel like im only doin 45 and im not particulary whizzin by everyone around me. unless if everyone drives 60 on a local street. maybe im just hallucinating so i apologize if i sound lame, but is this something you guys have heard of occurring before? and i have stock wheels and tires, i don't know if that matters. any feedback would be much appreciated. thanks guys!

Just ask any police officer to clock your speed then see if both your speedo and radar speed are the same
