Why do lower cars feel faster?
Lowered vehicles are more aerodynamic. There’s less air hitting the wheels and tires (that are not streamlined shapes). This makes these cars faster. BUT, lowering a car too much will actually increase wind drag.
Why do things look slow when going fast?
But if the object keeps moving very fast, then the image in the retina also moves very fast, and the brain can’t process the information fast enough, and you get a blur. It all boils down to speed and angle and field of vision. Lets get something clear, if something moves past you very fast, it appears blur.
Why would a fast moving car take longer to come to a stop compared to a slow moving car?

Why is it hard to stop a fast moving and heavy vehicle?
MOMENTUM. The heavier the object and the faster it is moving, the greater its momentum and the harder it is to stop. If a truck and a car are travelling at the same speed, it takes more force to stop the truck because its greater mass gives it more momentum.
