Negative. We did (from a dead stop), we did a ~25 mile "goto and back" type of race. She got me hands down with 0-60 (she has 4.10 gears vs. the 3.55 stock), but top end I smoked her.... bad. She redlines pretty early because of the gears (about 130-140 mph). My 'Balt is governed at 160. So yes, her car is physically limited to 140, not electrically governed (there is no gov. anymore...).
It maybe possible that my 'Balt may have the Stage 2 kit pre-installed. It was FULLY LOADED right from day one. I'm not 100% on that because the price sheet listy thing, didn't say anything about a stage kit.

Correction, you only maintain the 100,000-mile warranty on your upgrades if you install them at the time you take NEW delivery. If they're installed afterwards they only have a 12/12,000 warranty.

Even if you "did" pass the GT at 140, what kind of ******* runs from 0-top speed in a race besides riceboys? In a 1/4 mile you would have been way behind.

@ krispy: Her car was dyno'd and weigh. It weighs 3752 exactly with full tank of gas. And I passed her at about 100-110.
@ sick06cobalt: If you actually read my post, you'd know that I'm not 100% sure what they put in the car. It was a show room piece for almost a year and a half. They added some stuff to it, like the 18" premium rims. I'm not sure if they added the stage 2 kit or not. They upgradeda lot of the car with factory options, and a few (small) non-factory things.
@05redline: It wasn't a 0-top race. It was a point-to-point race, or sprint race as some call it (Which you would know if you read my second sentence).

i think we all have been ovelooking the most important part of the story here. what responsible mother encourages her son to drive 140 mph? and to boot against herself. street racing is a no-no even if mommy rides alongside you.

SS/TC and the SS/SC use the same tranny
As for the clutch, as long as you know how to drive and don't suck, the clutch will be fine.Some stock SS/SC's hang with mustangs too, besides what are you worried about stock for anyway? Your doing the reflash, and in that case a stage 2 SS/SC would walk a mustang anyway.
If you want to keep going, go ahead. Just stop once you make a valid point

I posted a video about the LNF stage kit before the Turbocharged Cobalt was even out. Matter of fact before the HHR SS was out. But people got all pissed off and said it was not true......
Has 290hp and 310lb ft of torque. And they had it installed on a race ready version of the Solstice.
[EDIT]Here you go.....flame suit is on and ready to go...

honestly kid if you had no idea the 18s werent stock i highlt doubt you are even driving a cobalt. oh and stage 2 you can tell is stage 2 look at the pulley for the blower you see bolts you got stage 2. this is of course assuming you even know which part under the hood is the blower.
oh and the stage kits for the ss/tc yeah i beleive it. why the hell not? i have seen the 290 solstice and did some reading on it so why no do it on the balt. by the way what tranny does the solstice use? just out of curiousity.

they will be releasing stage kits for all the LNF engines, to include the solstice gxp, sky rl, and the SS/TC. According to what Ive read and heard from chevy people I spoke with, they are using the same setup in a show car sky ( maybe solstice ) that had the stage upgrade in it ( aka higher boost setting, and around a 300 crank hp ). You can expect around 260-280 hp to the wheels on that kit.
that LNF is going to be a godly tuner

Just so you know if and when a stage kit comes it will have some required upgrade parts with a cal flash. That said GM is now checking the cal/flash part numbers in the ECM when you bring it in broke.(if its powertrain related) If the part numbers stored in the ecm don't match their cals they have stored for your car, and will void your warranty. Just an FYI for you. This started about 6 months ago. Sucks I know but you can't blame them. Stage kit cals keep you covered.

Because its used.
Because the reflash will be warrentied for 100,000 miles.
Because the SS/SC's clutch and tranny wont hold that too well.
Because the TC hangs with a Mustang GT stock for stock
I could go on for days...
I believe you, but i think the kit is going to consist of more then just a reflash.
An intake, re-flash, and some better piping would be a good Stage 1 kit.

newer (05+ GTs) are significantly faster and with a good driver should easily take a SS/SC or SS/TC

come on now at the track i see mustang gt drivers who ARENT experienced running 13.7s to 14.1s... the most experienced SC driver on here ran a what 14.1?
believe me a newer GT mustang will beat a SC by atleast 3 car lengths from 0-90
but neways.. I hope they have stage kits
