ive heard that the first time the speedo goes over 100 it sets the governor. my first time over 100 i did 115 or so in my 07 LS 5 speed being stock, havent really gone that fast lately so i dont know if it changed at all. not sure if what i heard is completely true, but sounds like it could be.........

Whoever told you that should really do some research. It is set by the factory based on the tires. There was a thread about it on here when I first joined about it.

Tom(NWAE Cobalt) hit about 186mph on the dyno once. i'd say @ 7500rpms in 5th you could peg 190mph. key is the air resistance.....since there was no air pressure to fight the acceleration, you can achieve speeds on a dyno you'd never hit in the real world.

Cool

let me start off with I love my cobalt... but my vote is something was wrong with the prelude. my roomate had a '99 with nothing more than a CAI and it would easily smoke my 2.2 cobalt, that or you definitely weren't racing a 2.2, or at least not a stock one. PLUS we had his prelude at 145+ without it hitting any govs.
