Your top speed?

125 mph down the Skyway in my 1990 Cavalier
104 mph on River road in my 2007 Cobalt LS

Speaking of top ends, what is the Cobalt's top end like for each model? I read somewhere that at 109 mph the Cobalt LS has a governor? Is that true? What's the fastest you've all gone?
-Aleckor

P.S. Both times the road was empty! (Drive responsibly!) wink wink

Hit bounced off govener @ 155 MPH. Had plenty of RPMS to go too in 5th.

4th gear @ 7000 RPMs takes you up to about 147 MPH before you have to shift into 5th.

Havent gone over 100 in quite a while since.

Seriously. Please search and find the other half dozen or so threads on this topic. Then you compare yourself to everyone else who is stupid enough post their top speeds online.

You guys know we have had a member go to jail because of what he posted that he was doing on the internet don't you?

He posted a video of himself street racing and doing insane speeds. Not so long later he was street racing and split an old ladies car in half and killed her.

The next thing you know he's in "pound me in the ass" prison.

You guys seriously should watch what you say on the internet because it can and WILL be used against you.

I never speed if there are other cars on the road. Never. My two top speeds there at the start of this thread were both with empty roads for as far as the eye can see in both directions.

What is the governor set at in an '07 Cobalt LS? I read it was 109, is that true?
-Aleckor

P.S. The motorcycle dudes are the craziest with their top speeds.
