since the top speed of the ls coupe is 120, what did the stage 5 cobalts do to be able to have good top end?

brianfcp

what is a stage 5 cobalt?

dj4all

GM Tuner Concept Cobalt SS with 272 bhp - not for production at this time. Please excuse me if I got this information wrong anyone.

they are the special built drag cobalts

i guess they use a VSS cutout switch

the Cobalt Phase 5 drag cars use aftermarket engine and transmission management programs and hardware and as such dont have many of the features of the stock Cobalt programming. for instance the Phase 5 cars use a modified 4T65e transmissiom(out of the much bigger Impala/Monte Carlo platform) instead of the stock 4T45e.(there is a street/track 4T45e coming soon!!)

i might put a VSS cutout switch in

xonic

wouldn't do any good. I'd imagin the anything after 120 the speed will be slowly crawling up if you stock

chillfactor

my ls has been up to 125 nd when in my 5th gear it felt slugish alof of noise but no power realy

FLCobalt

yeah we top out after 130+

I dont get the top speed in these cars... I can go 120.... and be at redline... i slow down to 110 and give a little gas it seems like its in a higher gear(overdrive?).... being as its only at like 4500 rpms... but when i give it a little too much it downshifts and will go 120.... idk..

chillfactor

realy 130 idk i mean it doesnt seem like it has to much more power to get that high

I still dont understand how some of you 2.2L Cobalts are hitting 120 when i know my 2.2 '06 LT only hit 106 and then the fuel cutoff comes in, It's very disappointing.

in my 05 base sedan i have buried and went passed my stock 120 speedo and was still going

chillfactor

i swear i hit 125 in my balt my friends got a video on his phone of us doing it on the way back from atlantic city

joes407

the stick shift ss versions dont have a fuel cut off because of the supercharger. supposed to have 143 top end stock i heard

D4u2s0t

we're talking about the 2.2

deputymark21

Cut off at 106? That sux. I've been at least 115 and rising and had no cut off whatsoever.

05YELLOWSS

I cut myself off, i get to 140 and then I bitch out, I'm such a *****....seriously, it's scary!!!

I think it has something to do with the type of tires that came with your cobalt. If you have the sports tires/rims, you are able to go faster than the cont. rims/tires.. ** im perty sure.. correct me if im wrong.. someone, anyone.. **

RedBaseBolt

I have the base of the base model and I'm not limited to 170Km like most GM cars in canada. I go all the way to 198 before my limiter cuts in. I have the continentals (currently icetracks for winter).

cobalt44

if u wanna go fast unplug ur speedometer

RedBaseBolt

Thats stupid. You're stupid.

memphisr24

Can't we all get along??? I know that my brothers base 2.2 cobalt (5 speed manual) he says it won't go past 105 or somewhere around there. But he bought the base with nothing in it and like the 14 inch hubcabs. So yeah lol.

you top speed is dependant on what tires you have if your stock tires are only rated to 112 you have a top speed of 106 or 108 but mine are rated to 130 ive hit 120 and climbed a little more but no power in 5th supposedly is at 124

In a loaded '05 Cobalt LT (2.2L) I hit 115 on several ocassions. I felt that the car might make it up to 120, but I didn't have enough road ahead of me to find out. I had the 16"rims with Pirelli tires.
