hey guys, quick question... i have an 06lt 2.2, better pic will be in sig when all the freakin snow stops... anyways, i've noticed that i speed up much quicker if i ease it through first and 2nd, and then step on it hard in 3rd... i have an auto, and it seems to go much quicker than just stepping on the gas from the get go... does this sound right?? also, why does that happen? thx

 

that sure looks like an ls to me.. an lt? what? im confused.

 

yes, and LT... was that hard to understand?? the lt wasn't available in 05, but it is in 06

 

I have 2005 base 2.2l and mine does the same. Don't know why. I have noticed that it's a little fast now than when I first purchased it. 5,200 mi right now.
I have an auto also,

 

mine seems to move a little quicker now too.. i have about 2500 on it

 

I like that color. Before I purchased mine they had one just like it except for it had the spoiler on it. Could'nt buy it 'cause it was already sold. Mine is black. I like that color except everything shows on it. Very hard to keep clean. Other than that, it's a great car.

 

yeah, mee to i gotta 2.4 SS auto and its like that too, if i press the gas from a slow roll and i ride out a gear for as long as i can by just acellerating to the point just before it downshifts, like when you can tell it's harder to press the gas i get better acceleration as well

 

yea, the color is nice... i'm going to get some better pics soon, this one sucks... but when it hasn't been snowing, it's been raining so it's kinda tough

 

The 06 lt = 05 ls. GM did there weird rename after the first year. 06 ls = 05 "base". 05 lt (4 door only) = 06 ltz?? Not sure on the last one and no matter what to rename after 1 year is dumb.

 

from what i saw at the dealer, the 06 LS came with NOTHING stock... no power windows, basic stereo, (no cd player) no spoiler, no power windows... had to pay extra for everything... if i'm not mistaken, my stock LT came with power everything, an upgraded stereo, (CD/MP3) and i have the sports package... the LT is a few grand more than the LS

 

its simple. when you slowly apply pressure you making sure it redlines each gear, if you just slam on it , it switches gears to fast. something like that.

 

the owner book says something about pressingg the gas to half throttle for passing so maybe that means the computer is set to make it go faster when not to the floor

 

what a newbie question!!!

 

im pretty sure there arent any cobalts without a CD player....i have a base model LS 06 and its got a CD player...unless they had 05's without CD players

 

Give him a break, it was only his second week on the site!

 

agreed!!

Some don't have the MP3 Player.


haha, yea, holy old ass thread revival!

Before this car, i would have had a hard time even opening the hood. you can probably disregard anything i said in my first few months here

 

im aware...cobalts like mine?

all '07s and later have em tho

 

yea, but this was posted in '05

 

yea the ls's dont have **** stock....mine didnt even come with floor mats

 

As you put miles on a car the cylinders start to seat in their bores and basically the motor breaks in the motor will gain more power over time as the motor gets settled in. You should always wait at least 5000 miles before pounding on your motor to let everything seat properly.

 

not true. our motors come broken in from the factory. if you have a manual, you need to break in the clutch. engines to not need to be broken in though.

 

haha...didnt nmotice this was a thread revival...i gotta check more dates

 

wow this thing is olllld. holla at 2005 folks!

 

alright pal i mean if your worried bout acceleration you shoulda just but a manual that would have made alot more sense and it would have been cheaper cause the automatic is an option

 

O... is that so

just curious, how did you get that response from my original post? Where does it say that i wanted something different? and how would it have made more sense?
