but that guy has a ls 06

I got a 05 Sedan LS 2.2 but only got it to 107 before engine cut itself out scared teh **** out of me too lol

 

 

Hmm mine is a base too, and has no cut off. interesting.

 

Not to hijack the thread, but I have a Cobalt SS/SC. Some of you guys were claiming 150+ in a stock SS. I just reached 145 mph this weekend with my exhaust and it was pulling slow. I probably could've went faster but not by much, plus it was taking forever! How do you guys get up to 155??? Do you have places near you that are nothing but 10 mile long straightaways????

 

I have one word for you "Top Speed" Guys...



BOOM!

Sustained High RPM will cause metal fatigue in the Rods and related parts...

There, I have said it...

 

yea, for anyone like me who went and bought the most basic 2dr cobalt.. lmao, those continental tires really keep the speed rating down, so 107 it is... lmao. Its still pulling,, thats the part that makes me mad, sometimes I forget im going so fast and it looks like i mis-shift when it cuts the fuel.

 

This is true. But it can't hurt all that much to spike top speed then come back down again.

 

Ok, It's not my car...

Repeated Runs add up...

The Sabb 2.0L motor is strong, I'm not sure about the others...

 

Being a performance enthusiast that I am, If something breaks on my engine, i'm not going to get the same part again. I'm going to buy a much better built part that stronger than the stock since I wouldn't want it happenining again. Besides, I have a money tree in my backyard all to myself.

 

how did you do that? my silver ls stops me at 105 because its electronically governed! POS! im trying to find someone that will help me program it or hook me up with a programmer........ any ideas?

 

I got a a base 2dr and b4 i got my intake i git 115 in it... but i gotta see now what it'll go up to now with the injen in it.

 

My Mazda Dealer removed the Rev and Speed limiter on the ECU when I put the built motor in the Protege. However, it was a given that I had no waranty remening. He said that he could loose the dealership if my car still had one...

 

Ive got a 06 Cobalt LT.... 120 was the most it went... that was redline... so I went back down...

 

05 LS coupe, sport package, manual
120 is controlled by the computer

 

I bearly got my LS today, the fastest I have gone so far is 75mph, but this is just day 1. My stepdad works at a chevy dealership and he can order a performance chip, but I believe a LS is only ment to go 0-120mph and thats all. Or else the motor will start screwing up (ie pistons, ect.)

 

Well, almost. There is no "chip" in our cars. The fuel control is an intergral part of the on board computer. Your cars speed is electronically limited by that computer. It simply stops delivering fuel when it reaches the speed set in the computer. Now that speed limit can be changed by a GM Goodwrench shop with the correct programming equipment, but they will not do it. That speed is set by the tires you have, not the engine limitations.

 

If u any of u guys drive anything but a SS u have not gotten over 105 all cobalts except for SS's have a govoner and a rev limiter rev limiter kicks in at 6500 govoner kicks in at 105mph unless u'r me then the chip i had burned for my car gets rid of the govoner and my LS will do 150+ and oh yea SS owners if u ever see a blue gray cobalt coming up behined u dont even try to mess with me my ls will kick u'r a**

 

lucky me...I get to be the first to call BULLSHIT!

 

i second the bullshit call no chip and i have a pic of my car at 115

 

If yer calling bullshit, lets see the pics!!! Actually 10? seems very low for a limiter but I guess it depends on the speed rating of your tires. I dunno all I know is the SC is drag rated

You monkeys who are exceeding the speed rating of your tires are playing russian roulette

Haha, now that I would like to see. Actually if you managed to get up that fast in the 2.2, I would sure as hell be getting out of the way, I wouldnt want to run over all the engine and transmission pieces that would inevitably wind up on the interstate.... Thats not even taking into account you wont be able to stop or turn

 

bwuahaha what a tool that guy is... I guess im going to have to get a picture at 120 in my cobalt..

 

Oh geez.... bring your junk to Lapeer dragway this spring and I will show you first that my base does not cut out at 105, and second that your LS doesn't go 150. For my encore I will show you that my base can whoop it.

 

I was running late for work tonight so i was stuck behind a dadge ram cruising at 75 on weaversville road . giave it some throttle and passed him like he was standing still . Checked the speed i was at
110 with plenty of throttle to go . I had to back off i was getting alittle to close to the s turns for a 110.
pretty kool for a 2.2 4dr

 

well guess what man i live right by lapeer so make sure u'r base piece of **** is there because i will be there like i was everyday last summer and im at millan every friday u'r base will get smoked
