anyone know?

 

i think i read somewhere that it is 145...this is the fastest ive gotten it...had to slow down for traffic!

 

Top speed is ~147mph.

thanks, im new to the site
so bare with me
in the end were all cobalt lovers here right

 

Yeah, most magazines and GMPD rate it as 145 MPH (234 Km/h).

That said, some people on the site claim to have achieved over 150 MPH stock. One person (forget who) has a video of him doing 147 MPH, but then he shut down while it was still pulling (video a.ka. "The Flying Gatorade Bottle"). That said, it is possible that you may get more than 145 MPH if you are running downhill or with a decent tailwind. So I would assume GM's 145 MPH is pretty accurate.

 

No problem

all hail gatorade bottle top-speed run.

everytime i see that gatorade bottle, it makes me wanna buy a case just to throw out my window when i beat someone in a race.

 

i had mine over 145 but i backed off cause i was scared. i was on a lonely strech of old highway and i was thinking if i hit a pot hole/grease spot/peice of tire im gonna be in real bad condition. so i backed off. but i will say this the car pulled the entire way to 145. i had had my cobalt for about 3 month at that point ant that was te first night i really opened her up.
i had 3 kills that night
old mustang the 99 body style
older riced out civic hatch that i ate alive
and a old probe or something that actually gave me a decent run but i had him by a nose
keep in mind i was still learning how to lauch the SS/SC

i was inl ove from that night on.

 

I've had mine past 160 mph. Guage needle pegs but the rpms keep going up. No im not stock and yes its dangerous. Car still feels steady as hell though surprising.

 

in everything that i've read there is no speed limiter it just says 150+ had mine to the high 130's it pulls hard right to it.

 

Living in Nebraska has at least one advantage, miles of open flat roads.

I am 100% stock and have put the needle just past 150mph, I went to Average MPH in the DIC and hit reset and it read 151mph.

I tried to take a picture but all I got was glare. I let off to change the settings on my camera and when I snapped a pic I was allready at 145mph.

 

lol.. i've started a revolution

and darksun280.. what do you have done that will push you over 160.... i hope you're going to say nitrous or an extra 100hp wrth of parts cause nothing else is going to get you there

 

I am totaly stock and I hit 240 KM/h which is 150 mph. I am excited to see how fast with some coming mods.

 

Wait wait... you were going ~150mph and tried to take a picture while you were doing it? Wow, some would say that takes *****, but I say that's just plain insane. For me, things tend to get fuzzy as it passes me anywhere over 120. Add 30 miles to that and a camera in your right hand, subtract your eyes from watching the road, and I think you should come up with the same answer I got. Insane.

 

might want to pick up a set of glasses then things never get fuzzy when your going fast, nor do they start to look like they slow down any at all.... that's all hollywood stuff. when you're going 150+ **** is coming at you pretty clearly and fast

 

A gas pedal and a 5th gear What else do i need? Didn't know you could reset the average speed than do a certain mph and it would record it. I'm try that and take a picture.

 

alot more than 250hp

 

Just because your speedo says some number does not make it right. No Car mag has got over 150mph and they use radar or GPS which is 100% accurate.

Now saying that, a broken in car will typically pick up a few mph over when it was new.

 

If you reset it at say 145mph it will keep that reading for a couple of seconds than it will start averaging if you start going slower.

 

It's not all Hollywood stuff. I spent 2 years in England, and my mode of transportation there was a 1986 Porsche 944. On the A11, similiar to the autobahn in Germany except they have static radars on the road, I got the car up to a little over 130. And when I say things got fuzzy, I meant things get fuzzy. And if it makes any bit of difference regarding my eyes, I have 20/15 vision and can read about half the line on the 20/10 line. I've been asked to attend OTS to become a fighter pilot because of my vision.

But in your case, when I said things got fuzzy for me, I meant clear and fast.

 

had mine to 156 with four people in the car stock. I slowed down cause i decided i didn't wanna kill my 3 friends for being an ass

 

as i have lived in germany for 2 years, and drove the authobahn almost daily, we've rented 911 turbos before and hit around 200mph, it doesn't get fuzzy even at 200mph... you've watched fast and furious too many times

 

that's the funniest thing i've heard in a while our stock cobalts top out at about 145~ and you hit 156mph with an extra 400 pounds in the car? (that's if your friends only weighed 133pounds each)
