Afternoon Forum enthusiasts, being the young male american i enjoy speed and an adrenaline rush. Unfortuanatly im to scarred of the consequences of seeing how fast my cobalt will go.. does anyone know what the govenor is set at on the cobalt or what the top speed is??

Thanks, alpiner16

 

im not sure what the limit is on the SS but on the other models its limited (electronically) @114

 

so it'll bog off starting at like 112?
oh and do you know if it takes forever and a day to get to 114?

 

It doesn't take too long. Probably about 40 seconds.

The limiter is made to cut the power back at the target speed and drop you back about 5 MPH.

I should hope you are not doing this on the open road....its suicide.

 

i dont know how long it will take the cobalt, but it doesnt take me that long to get there in my impala.

 

In my '06 2.2l 5-speed, its 104-106 around there. When you hit it there will be a hard jerk that almost forces your foot off the gas.

It Doesnt take the Cobalt that long to do probably 30s maybe faster. When passing using 3rd gear its easy to hit 85 with out realizing it. Even in 5th gear the car accelerates pretty quick after 65.

 

i assume then that its unstable and shaked like no other
