Will my cobalt mess up if I try to hit 100mph?

06 ss/na. I finally got a tune up. But while i was on the expressway i hit 85mph too see what this thing can do and i was wondering, could i hit 100mph without it crapping out on me.

Oh and not upgrades or whatever. The only thing ive changed is the shift knob, lol.

It has 102,xxx miles on it

It went 120. I wasn't driving. I was watching the speedometer and when it hit 120 I told him to stop.

I wasn't driving. And we were just messing with my aunt. It was open highway. The fastest I've been is 110. I had to keep up with people I was following cuz I didn't want to get lost.

This is true lol I don't remember how long it took. It still scared me. I'm use to driving the speed limit. I've never gotten a ticket and I don't plan to get one soon. Haha

Whats the point? I could see if you wanted to outrun something but a top speed run is asking for trouble.

There's a huge long straightaway ramp onto one of the highways around me, the thing must be like 2km long. I've gotten my car up to 240kph there, which is about 150mph. It gets up there so smoothly, the 0-200 is quite quick.

It's because it was clear for some distance and i was going 55 then just pushed down the pedal, but then i came into traffic. Besides i have those radars that you put on your windshield and it hasnt failed me yet.
