yeah ive done that before.. even when my cat was clogged and my car boosted 19+ pounds on the stage 2 tunes i did 140 in 5th taking my x's friend's home. at only 5600 RPM.. when the IRL was running right i would honestly bet 160 or alittle more.. cause i literally hit fuel cut in 5th once or twice 7k RPMS. never ONCE felt unstable

Stock, it would take a 1/2 hour to get there...and we have a limiter at 130 because of the tires we have.

yeah, it does take a little while to get there, but it handles it pretty well. and it won't go any faster than that

Got mine up to an amazing 150 and then tried to take a SLIGHT curve....cobalts do NOT handle well at that speed. Since then, 120 has been my limit.

I read somewhere on here that the cobalt is aerodynamically limited to some goofy speed, buy I haven't heard that it was electronically limited. In fact, I've always been told that there is no governor on this car, which is what Electronically limited would be, correct?

Well whoever told you is wrong.

2.2's with a sport package and the SS/NA or Sport are limited to 130

LSJ are limited to 158

LNFs are limited to 155

All electronically.

Just because it is limited to that does NOT mean that it can go that.

(any car) is hard to maneuver at that speed. Its just about preparation though. My stock ride height 06 SC went 130-35 on a long sweepin curve undr acceleration. Thats what I love about this car, its very predictable at its limits and still very satisfying.
