just wondering i have lts c&l intake x with high flow cats and flows cat back and 373 gears. just for shits n giggles on the way back from ihop deseted road at night i droped a gear and punched it but at like 115 or so it seems like it stops pulling very hard. its still going but alot slower does that seem right? my speedo seems to read a lil low also. it just seems like it should keep going a lil better becuase it pulls nice til then anyways just wondering thanks
what speed does it stop pulling hard

Personally idk bout the cobras but in my turbo gt it'd stop pulling hard around 120-130. Then again I have 1k less useable rpm than you and those speeds are when I shift into 5th. Sooo overdrive sucks for low hp cars lol.
idk i guess im kinda disapointed i wanted this car for awhile like 13 years only to find out my old crappy talon woulda just destroyed it and gotta hope i dont see my buddies flipin cobalt ss on the highway sigh still like my car but expected more i guess
well talon wasnt stock but was still a shitbox a fast shitbox but one none the less ill have to check next time see what 4th tops at . i really need to get the stuff to test my spedo cuase it seemed like at 50 my friend that i was on the phone with said he was at 60 which makes no sense to me and at 35 he was 40 now 0-like 115 it runs great if it is really 115 lol
Yeeeah but if it were off for 3.73s he'd be slower than his speedo and not faster than it.
Damn 120 in 4th with 4.10s... I can't wait to finish my 4v swap so I can be doing close to that in 3rd what rpm was that at?
Close to the top of 4th like 6400 or something.
Well you have basic bolt ons man, throw some nitrous or blower or turbo on it and it won't be slow anymore 
I topped my 4th out yesterday at 130 @ 7,500 with 410
Lol no big deal I had to look at it like 4 times to be sure!
Gah both of you, that's way badass. My 4th at 5.5k with 3.27s is at 115-120 :/
But jesus 7500... id love to wind it up like that one day. What h/c/I are you running? Valvetrain?
All stock valvetrain....
Lol and here I was freakin out about taking it to 7k...
I'm no expert and I have been past 7k, maybe 7.2k. Should you be going up to 7.5k on a stock motor? I would think that would do some damage after awhile. At least put better springs and ARP head bolts in it to rev as high as you want.:shrug:
It's not like it's an everyday thing the motor might see 7500 twice a year.
My cobra pulls pretty hard all the way to 130. I have 373's but I also have a t-56. If your friend has a modded cobalt ss tt then you will have trouble beating him from a roll. Many of those cars with bolt on's will make over 300whp, and given the weight advantage they can be pretty quick from a roll. With boost you will embarrass them but n/a it will be difficult. Full bolt on with a short runner and a little weight reduction should put you ahead.
