So I chose cobalt supercharged over SRT4 turbo. I wanted a car that already had the speed, but just needed a few upgrades. Somehow I got a dud.
I know what speed is, Ive been to 155 in an SRT4, I drove my cobalt to 130 and it maxed out. So Im assuming after reading all of your posts, that my car has a huge problem. I will be discussing this with the dealership. I thank you all for your input. Im also sorry if I offended those that are oh so much smarter than I, you smacked me down good. Thanks.
Thankyou to those that gave good input, I appreciate it greatly.

What do you think the dealership is going to say when they hear you speed tested a brand new motor? They are going to tell you that you blew it up driving like a dumb-a@@!
Anyhow, hope they help you out!
Is the supercharger working? That may simply be the problem. Maybe it's defective, or was not set-up right from the factory. Make sure they do a compression test on all four cylinders too!

"blew it up driving like a dumb-a@@" that is the most stupid thing i have ever read. I would expect any car dealership that sells a car with performance and speed in mind to expect the car they build to be driven just like they designed it. I would expect anyone with the chance to test out there new sports car to the full potental of the car. If you want to drive your car like a grandpa that is just fine get in line with all the other 60 year old men in corvettes.
"is the supercharger working" Better than your brain is! The car runs fine, accelerates fine, boosts 10-12 psi at max, everything works great, exept for the fact that the car runs out of steam at 130. I am sure if 10 miles of open highway where there the car would eventualy get to 144 but very slowly.
We will have the car looked at and checked over.

For all you worried about safety the car was driven on a family owned air strip.

Look what offering some helpful suggestions around here gets you? You need your freaking head examined, because it is way to far up your rectum buddy!
Maybe if you knew a single thing about cars, you wouldn't be trying to speed test a brand new car! Find a longer airstrip or learn to drive you retard!!!!
Why in the hell are you asking for help if your going to be a jerk to people who offer it!
You should be kicked off of here for being a big d#ck!!!!
Then again, maybe I should expect this from an SRT-4 driver on a Cobalt SS forum!!!!

Back-n-Black, I was only trying to offer suggestions to you in a satirical way. You read way too much into things on this forum. If you ask for help by starting a thread about a problem, don't critize people for holding opinions about the topic you asked them to discuss!
Hope you have solved the problem with the car. Keep us up to date.
