LMBO it wasnt planned or anything i was passing someone to catch the right exit and realized i was in the 105 area and the kid in me was like lets push this a little farther. Drove very nicely
I remember i had a 94 civic ex when i was a kid and took it up to 110, the steering wheel was shaking around and sounded very loud between the engine and tires. it was scary lol.

According to the owner's manual - my 2014 Malibu LTZ has a top speed of 155 mph! It has the 2.0 turbo and 19" wheels/speed rated tires.
Haven't tried it yet - need some smooth pavement to do a speed run but that is hard to find in Michigan these days.

Hope there's a cop around if you try. Public roads are no place to try this out...could care less if you hurt yourself doing something stupid, but there are other unsuspecting drivers out there that you could run into in the blink of an eye at that speed.

I've never seen an owner's manual that lists a vehicle's top speed. Are you sure?

They used to all list the top speed.

My car is governed @ 111 mph (179km/hr) but in 6th gear it still had lots of powerband to go. Again I agree with above posts, there is a time and a place, and that place isn't public roads. a tire blowing out, gust of wind, faulty ball joint, brake line popping, I could go on for days with reasons why it's a stupid idea. There's a track with safety measures in place for that kind of playing, but guys it's a chevy cruze not a veyron. We're not going to set land speed records with an economy car.
I will admit I brought my cruze 2014 ltz to 87 MPH just to see how it would feel. I was scared to go any faster than 88 MPH I think I would got back in time.

Mid to high 120s. On a closed race course. ?
The trifecta tune made it pretty easy to get up there. Surprisingly, the stock 2014 up, is no slouch on the highway. Much better than my 2012 was stock. I can actually pass in 6th in my 2014. This would never happen in my 2012.

In my 2011 Cruze 1.4AT trifecta I've been to 112 on a closed course... Only The 2011 had a shorter sixth gear which made going faster at high speeds easier but gives the car a lower top speed I do believe because at 110ish I'm turning more than 4500-5000 in sixth

Limited to 112 for me
My 2014 1LT 1.4L 6MT is limited to 112MPH, it comes up with a message just like the one in the link. My cobalt did more than that. I believe it has to do with the speed rating of the stock tires. The cruze came with firestone S-rated tires, I believe the cobalt I had came with hankook H-rated tires.

Nick are you sure about the model A?
I remember the 60s muscle cars were very fast acceleration wise but near top speed they would float on the road due to lack of suspension/aerodynamics compared to todays vehicles.

My 2011 1.4 would do 130. Then my 2013 was able to do it once and never again. Could only do 90 mph for the last year I had it and the dealer never could figure out what was wrong. No codes or anything, but the car did have a vibration so I think the diff was coming apart. The dealer's answer was always we can't verify the problem at those speeds.

I have a 2017 chevy cruze lt sedan and it does 130 which is the limiter quite easily.
