I saw this was a feature of the new cobalt. What does that mean?

 

means you dont have to let off the gas at all when your going to shift, for better acceleration

 

It means u can keep the gas pedal mashed to the floor at WOT when u shift . When u press the clutch in the computer will control the throttle in between shifts . Defintely interesting , when it can be manipulated thru HPT , when that access becomes available .

 

Hmm..Does it really make a difference?

 

its a dummy control for people who dont know how to WOTshift.

 

For those of us who can powershift , nope it doesnt . The no lift feature and the launch control feature would be fun to play with in HP tuners though .

 

agreed. launch control could have possibilities.
though its likely just a parameter expanding on boost control

 

I wonder if this feature will hurt our times for us people that can do it without the computer intervening?

 

i doubt it.

if it is tuneable, then as power is added, it can be used more and more to help

 

how do u do that?

 

When I shift I leave my foot all the way down on the gas when I just basically tap the clutch pedal when I shift. You must do it very fast. I run the engine almost all the way to the fuel cut off, any more and it would stall due to the rev limiter. It takes awhile to perfect but when you perfect it, it works great and you got to be fast or you will miss a gear. It is very hard on a car I must tell you aswell.

 

i hope we can mess with hptuners to have it on ours

 

WTF? Was this on the 06 as well?

 

yes , the manual version .....otherwise known as powershifting

 

The new one takes ALLOT less skill to perform this action.

 

Im curious how it takes ALOT less skill?

you still have to depress the clutch, you still have to shift very quickly.....
the only difference is the computer controls your RPMs so that if you suck at it, you wont bounce the rev limiter.

its powershifting for dummies.

 

so many seems to have 2 left feet , this will help them greatly

 

This made me

Imagine going to shift but you slam the clutch AND brake down. That would ******* hurt.

 

Got a question. Can you drive the new SS turbo as a normal stick? as in lift off the gas while shifting?

Like for normal city driving is it ok to drive it as a normal stick without causing problems?

 

yes.. but you don't have to. i don't see why they'd make it so you HAVE to no lift shift.

 

It only does the no-lift-shift when WOT.

 

i have an srt and have the s1 ecu,mopar claims WOT and boost doesnt drop..shift from 2nd-3rd and there is a diffrence beleive it or not..just keeps you glued to the seat till u let of the gas

 

the no lift shift feature is so you dont lose pressure in your boost.

 

^^ well I am glad that you pointed out that "we are all dumbies" for not knowing that the NLS is for "not losing pressure in our boost" *facepalm* nice first post dude

 

Yes, in fact you should always drive "normal" on public roads. NLS is for racing and should only be used on the track. To do a NLS (No Lift Shift) you need to be at WOT (Wide Open Throttle). That means the gas pedal is all the way to the floor. NLS should be used sparingly or you will eventually break something on your car. GM only tested this feature a dozen times. NLS is not a manner in which you should drive your car, it is a racing technique. Normal driving won't cause problems, NLS might cause a problem.
