After watching the video..
Per the VP ... all that is required for a Chevy to have a "SS" destination is

**Stopping power --- I have larger then stock (4) wheel discs & stainless braided brake lines... got that covered.

**Acceleration - I have larger injectors, aftermarket intake, headers, high flow cats, cat back exhaust and ECM reflashed - got that covered

**Ability to go around corners fast - I have front and rear anti-sway bars, lowered springs, 18" wheels & tires and (4) Koni-sport shocks .. I got them all covered

I have my "SS"

thats very nice

Sounds like an "SS" to me!! :thumb:

BUT, do you have 260hp?

BUT, do you have 260hp?

Maybe he has an automatic. :D

Maybe he has an automatic. :D
I bet you're right!:lol:

I bet you're right!:lol:



Does the Cobalt SS with the 2.4 have 260 hP ? :lol:

I'm just joshin' with ya! You've got a bada$$ HHR and have done things, some of wish we had ability to do.

What about the most important part...........the turbocharger? :confused: :poke: :lol:

Actually no interview ever said a Turbo was necessary to have an SS. A Chevy SS model should have what HVRod listed. Was the Camaro SS Turbocharged? How about the Silverado SS? Or the Monte Carlo SS? Nope. None of the above. So, technically HVRod CAN badge his HHR as an SS and get away with it. His HHR is better equipped than the Cobalt SS 2.4 Sedans are. That makes his HHR, SS worthy. By Chevy standards anyway. I own a 2.2 so could never have an SS model. Even WITH a Turbocharger. :D

Count me in too! I have an Airaid intake and an IMCO muffler + aftermarket stereo :lol:

Can't wait to glue some SS badges on my HHR :nuts:

Ng

Don't worry I won't be badging my HHR..
One of the first things I did was to debadge my HHR when I bought it..

Stealth is nice....

Stealth is very nice... I need to do that to my ride...

How did you get 4-wheel disc brakes (I'm assuming that's what you meant)? :confused:

Early 2006....
I bought a conversion kit from RSM Racing from Canada..
Seems they've no longer in business or changed their names..

Did cost some $$$ to do it.. but besides the car builders of the HHR's
Seems I'm the only one with them..

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e72/hvrodpics/DSCF2031.jpg

You can try this site.. if you really want them.. Price for the rear conversion is 1220.00
I think I paid a bit less and got front bigger rotors and calipers and the large rear rotors and calipers, brake cables.. from RSM

http://www.stainlesssteelbrakes.com/vehicles/project/?vehicleID=97&category=Sport%20Compact

This one has 4 wheel disc brakes but SSBS says it a prototype and not ready for production yet.

Aww.. Dude, that would be so kicka$$ to have those... Thanks for the site! A little expensive, but I might be able to save some greenbacks for a mod like that... :cool:

Thanks again! Oh, yeah.. what about the larger injectors? I believe that's the first I've heard of them... :thumb:

Its in a post in the 2.4 section. I posted about it a while back...

I surely hope the rotors on the disc brakes are going to be better than the ones on my 98 Camaro Z28... the stock ones are infamous for warping easily. I had mine turned at 7K, replaced three times with the same crappy GM ones before I replaced them with the Rotorpros package.

What a difference! They're wonderful, fade-free and stop the car on a dime and give 9¢ change. If I find out they are similarly crappy on the new SS, I'll be replacing them as soon as aftermarket ones are available. Hopefully from rotorpros. They are a great deal and beautiful too, cross drilled and slotted to boot! :thumb:

just say it sure don't sound like a HHR:thumb:

Makes no differance, the HHR SS has a turbo. Adding "SS" to any vehicle that is not a factory "SS" is nothing but a poser. I don't care if it runs twice as fast. It's still a poser.

Now an SS killer, is another thing. :thumb: But why would you call it the same as a factory package? :red:

Bottom line, don't be a poser, you only fool yourself. :lol:

I need to get some body work done to mine, and then I'll put the SS badge on mine, but it will stand for "Super Sexy" :nuts:

I'm glad RSM didn't rip you off. They changed to Z-spec. They are crocks and frauds. That is why they are Z-spec now. They had something like 37 complaints in 36 months....last time the company was brought up on j-body.org.

I've been a member of F-body forums for a quite a few years now and I can tell you that when someone takes a Z28 or even a V6 Camaro and puts SS badges on it, it's really considered an affront by the guys who actually own an SS.

As for myself, I couldn't care less what ppl do with their cars, it's all an individual expression of who you are and what you want your vehicle to look like.

HOWEVER, just know you may be driving down the street some day, and some guy in an SS Camaro (or maybe even an older one perhaps a Chevelle SS or a Malibu SS) will yell out, :cussing: "POSER!"

You have been warned. jmho

I seem to remember reading that they upgrade either the cam or rods in the engine itself.

That aside, your are driving a car that has totally lost it's warranty. I looked at buying a used HHR and doing a custom rebuild with similar items, however, by the time you add it up, it will probably cost way more than the warrantied stand items that come included with the SS:eek:

I modified my HHR (not an SS) and put over 36,000 miles on it, in little over a year, and have TOTALLY LOST MY WARRANTY, without even getting to use it!!!!

What do I do now??


Do you expect the SS to have many Warranty issues??

i would imagine the first batches to come off the line might have an issue or two, that's almost inevitable with a new model. I've heard the intercooler may not be up to snuff keeping the t/c system cool, who knows?

That's why i think its a good thing to wait a bit before taking delivery of one of these puppies.

If it wasn't up to snuff, it wouldn't have made it through the desert environment testing grid in Mexico or the arctic environment test grid in Canada.

If you're going to put an SS badge on a car when there's an SS version of that car in production, it better be like that model or better. I've always thought it'd be cool to put the SS ground effects and some better brakes and suspension pieces on my 1LT and have a couple of RS badges made up, but I would never put an SS badge on it.

Of course, if I ever get enough cash to do the LS4 conversion, I won't need no stinkin' badges to prove how cool I am! :D

I made MY HHR SS BEFORE there was even a factory one was even mentioned being built.. So am I supposed to take my badges off just because the Factory Finally decided to make one.. Nope I was ahead of them...

You don't remember but back in the 60's the SS was just an appearance package, all it was was badging... you could even get a 6 cyl. with a powerglide...


I have a REAL SS El Camino. but it is not as it was built, when new GM saw fit to put in a 305V8 in it with a 3 speed automatic...now it has a 350 bored 30 over with a 700R4 transmission, so is my El Camino A Poser?.
Have you ever heard of a Clone? There are many muscle cars running around today that started out as grocery getters, but people are now building them into look alike Muscle cars. Even Hot Rod Magazine did an article on how to make a ss396 out of a plain Malibu... If they can do it so can we...

PS Your little poser coment made me think of the movie "Wild Hogs" when the Biker guy called Tim allen and his buddies "Posers" yet when the real biker guy shows up , the one they all thought was the ultimate example of a biker, He said that They were the posers not Tim Allen and his buddies..) I have never in my 54 years ever heard anyone use the term POSER in reference to a car until you did.

You are right--the SS/RS packages were merely appearance packages and the RPO codes like Z28 and WS6 determined the performance capabilities of the car. However, things are a little different now.

The '95 Impala SS and the '98 Camaro SS changed the outlook of the SuperSport program for Chevrolet. It became an expectation that those packages include performance options above and beyond the non-SS version of the car.

I personally would not put SS badges on my car unless I did a full SS conversion, including the engine and suspension pieces. I've seen people slap SS badges on everything from Aveos to V6-powered Silverados. What's worse is seeing cobra badges on Contours.

Having said all that, if I had an SS, I'd probably de-badge it anyway.

Chevy makes a SS version of the Cobalt Sedan. It has the 2.4 in it.. Since it is not a true high performance car should it be considered an SS? My HHR has all the same pieces that the Cobalt Sedan SS has (plus s little more in the power department), So it is as much of an SS as one of those are.
SS stands for SuperSport, Not SuperFast, or SuperRacecar, It is SuperSport... and I feel Pretty Sporty in my HHR SS.:thumb: As I said My El Camino SS was not very high performance when it was built by Chevrolet. But it is now...
If anyone wants to make their Chevy look like an SS i say Go for it, It's your car, Make it the way you want. that is all that matters.:thumb:

Having said all that, if I had an SS, I'd probably de-badge it anyway
I guess that would make anyone that debadged an SS to look like a plain Jane HHR with a aero kit a....POSER!!!:nuts:

BTW anyone wanting to make their SS look like a regular HHR I will swap my Chrome grill for the painted one, if it is in my color....

Having said all that, if I had an SS, I'd probably de-badge it anyway.

Me too. :thumb:

aahhhh

Pics of the header install would be cool though!

:poke:



I know you can't find them though, but if you ever come across them....it would be helpful...gonna put the header on after the 36K mile mark passes....:bow::bow::bow:


Right now it's sitting in the back seat of my '95 Cavalier.

Nope. Just someone who doesn't want yet another tacky badge cluttering up the otherwise clean lines of the car :cool:

I really do like the side skirts on that SS aero kit. I might pick up a set of those and get them shot in Daytona Blue rather than getting a set of boards wrapped in CF-vinyl like I'd originally planned.

It's all just a matter on what you like... some want their cars to stand out... Just like today at Sam's, I was unlocking my HHR and a Guy got out of his Silverado and came over and said man that is beautiful... then I told him about what the real SS will have in it... he was impressed.

I just like the look.. don't need the performance... It runs great, gets great mileage and if I really want to I can get into enough trouble with the 2.4 LOL

Thats what makes America so Great, You can be an Individual.. Do your own thing.:)

You don't have a Chevy HHR SS, You have an HHR you put SS badges on it. Plain and simple. You are only fooling yourself and those that otherwise don't know about the HHR and don't really care either. If I look up your HHR on KBB, or NADA, or anything for that matter. Will I find a listing for an SS? Nope. Cause they were not made. You take a 1969 Chevelle and add everything that 454 SS had on it, will that make it an 1969 454 SS? Nope, it's a fake. Any true fan will know.

I saw Wild Hogs recently, funny movie. Maybe that is where "poser" come to mind. They were definatly "posers" for a 4 man suburban Harley "gang". And the "gang" they ran into were definaly "posers" for a real gang. Funny movie, gave me a good laugh. Guess posers can be good for a chuckle at times. :lol:

pssst. there was never a 454 69 Chevelle, the 454 did not come out till 1970...

But, You are right, like I have said, I like the way it looks, and if anyone asks me I will tell them it isn't a real SS. I am not trying to fool myself or anyone else. all they have to do is ask... that is why in my Signature I have the SS in Quotes...

I have seen plenty of Fake SS cars Camaros, Chevelles etc, and if you didn't know the VIN sequence for a true SS you would never know it was a Fake...they were that good... and for that you would on the older ones have to get under the hood and see the VIN plate... There are more 69 Z-28 Camaros on the street now that Chevy actually made. and how about those new Chinese Camaro and mustang bodies that are out there? When the professionals are building them now, and putting all the emblems on them. and showing them I bet 75% of the people will never know they are fake.

Older cars are easy, numbers matching, RPO codes, etc. If you don't know what you are looking at I would hope you would find someone that does. If not, you don't need to be messing with older cars. If you find a 4lug 1965 Mustang with a 289 in it, guess what, it's not original....:lol:

Correct, you take a 1969 Chevelle and add 454 SS parts..... I never said take 69 454 parts. In 1969 you could only get a SS with a 396. I could go over more info on the years if you like. Like how to tell the fake from the real. The VIN is useless until 1972 to see if's a real SS (when motor option was added). :lol:

If you are going to "quote" and try and insult at the same time, be sure to read it first.

GUYS! This is unproductive! Let him stick wings on it and call it an airplane for all I care... who cares???

Correct, you take a 1969 Chevelle and add 454 SS parts..... I never said take 69 454 parts. In 1969 you could only get a SS with a 396 and also the last year for the Muncie.

I agree you never said there was no such thing as a 69 454 SS... the way you put it you implied they made them in 69. .. now if you had said if you take a 1969 Chevelle and used 1970 SS 454 parts it would have been clear... and I would have agreed....
I am sorry for misunderstanding what you meant. reading this is not like being able to ask face to face what you mean by that statement...

OK, I'm done... I getting my My Fake HHR "SS" and going home :bow:

When does a debate turn to insulting?

When someone sticks a badge on their car to create a phantom trim package that was never offered in that model year :lol:

Look, I really don't care what people stick on their cars to make them happy. I'd rather have a designation that reflects a true performance package, like the old Camaro Z28, Beretta Z26, Cavalier Z24, Lumina/Monte Carlo Z34, and Corvette ZR1/ZO6.

I wonder what the RPO code for the HHR SS is going to be?

You never saw the Berettas, Luminas, and Cavaliers we had at MY high school. When the insurance man told us what we couldn't drive, we discovered the GM 60 degree V6!

Some look cool, but Front wheel drive GM cars (until now) were never performance cars unless WJ (Drags), any Nascar GM car or someone else dropped a V8 in the front and a 9" diff in the back.... Sorry I'm just old school.

Front drivers are doing ok at the drags now, but just limited success where you have to turn at speed.

This was a good thread.. LOOK at how many views... :eek:

brake system with braided lines about 1100.00, ECM reflash depends on the tuner 350-500.00, colder range plugs about 25.00, exhaust system approx. 1200.00, (header, down pipe, cat back - Bigger ejectors 40.00 plus shipping, harness about 38.00, air intake 150 - 220 depening who you get it from, engine damper about 60.00, - sway bar 125 - 145 depending on where you get it from , lower springs... adjustable shocks 600.00 all installs by me.. less the tune to my ECM

And do you know the new horse power ?? Have no dyno near me... sorry..

Can you share who did the work ?? Me less the tuner doing the reflash and the shop doing the alignment

Did you need new valve springs ?? I didn't touch the internal parts

What are the down sides if any ?? hmmm going faster count?

Did you have an LT2 that already uses 91 octane ?? using 91 octane tune for the higher fuel

Thanks for your information

Also please give more info on your up graded brakes ??use the search on this site I've answered the question numberous times

You stop from 60 to zero in **** how many feet ?? I haven't measure it.. but what the SS HHR can do I probably can do

And Thats all that really matters. Many people are posers whether they know it or not. They pose with their iPods, They pose with their cell phones, they pose with the clothes they wear, they pose with the watch they choose, They pose with a car they bought, A motorcycle, a haircut......on and on. Anyone seeking attention or approval with their possessions are posers.

Just do what you want and don't worry about what think about the badges you choose to apply to your car.
