Prior to today my top speed in my LS Sport Sedan was 110, but I got 'er up to 125-130ish running from a tailgating *******. Bet he was suprised when he slowly saw my taillights getting further and further away Remember, this list is for 2.2's only! Add your speed to the list below

HackAbuse: ~130mph

.....105....because i have a speed govener....and advice on how you got around that?.....or are you one of the lucky ones who dont have one......

sshaner

agreed how do you get around taking off the limiter?

HackAbuse

I got the sport edition, it came with higher rated pirelli tires which also wasnt flashed with a governer

Skottish

lucky..........................

HackAbuse

I'd take your car to the dealer, point out your higher rated tires and ask for a reflash

Me? I just went the extra mile and bought the Sport Package which gives me my bitchin Sedan Spoiler which looks awesome

Not to sound like someones father but just good driving advice...

If someone is tailgating you, move into the next lane and let them pass you. There is no point of speeding and then you get caught cause someone is tailgating you.

124 that the highest the 2.2 will go even with the upgraded tires its hit 120 in 4th and then slowly pulls to 124 before it starts to cut fuel

HackAbuse

I must have some sort of freak car then, because I wasn't going downhill and there was no wind tonight.

There was no other lane, we were in the middle of nowhere on a backroad and the assjockey was revving his engine at me, I guess i put him in his place

i think the cobalts with 16inch tires dont have a govenor....at least thats what i readfrom car and driver.... that its drag limited to 124 mph

HackAbuse

MY guage must need to be re-calibrated again then

my personal best -> 120....km/h

i never feel comfortable to try the top speed......not that the car doesnt feel safe...coz it feels really safe but ....just dont want any tickets

Asphalt Assault

yeah and they will look at you like your nuts (speeder, major speeder) and wont do it for they may fear litigation.

well i know mine hits a fuel gut off some where it starts to buck like my work truck i though it was right below 125 but at those speeds i dont looke down for long lol but if its drag limited it is possible to go faster look at the ss\sc's those were drag limited at like 145 but many have gone over that

05sedan

if u dont have the limiter i think the cars are drag limited....

PenguinPIE

was it a fuel cut off when ur going that speed? or ....drag limited

MachiBLue

I've been up to around 110 mph in my sedan..It felt feel stable and solid at that speed..

silverSS

You know what would have been hilarious......

Ricer boy in the cobalt speeds up to 120MPH then gets pulled over as the Tailgating ******* laughs and drives by.

sorry

please dont kill yourself going over 100MPH in a cobalt....i dont see it being a good car past 100MPH...me I have never gone above the speed limit

So the other night when we were doing a buck 50 in the ss we werent being safe?

silverSS

that was on a closed course

of course it was safe

2006STI365

True, but one would think doing 150 under any circumstance wouldn’t be safe, and that’s why I never took my car above 75

114mph
