Thanks to all who built and maintain this forum!

Although I don't own an HHR, I am on the verge of ordering an '09 HHR Panel SS.

However, I've been reading on these boards that there have been numerous production delays in regards to the 5-spd transmission, and other issues which have caused long waits for ordered vehicles.

Hopefully, a knowledgeable reader can set me straight.

I would like to take delivery of my HHR SS Panel in the spring after all the salt has been washed off the roads. At least I can enjoy driving it for a while 'til it snows again.

About me: I'm a 55-year old teenager who hasn't owned a "performance" vehicle in many years. My passion is dirt track stock car racing (hence the screen name).

Again, many thanks to the forum administrator(s) and moderator(s)!

Hope to hear from you all soon!

Best Wishes!

the reason for the order delay for the 5 speeds has been from ordering the programable performance display, its not available for some reason.......I'm a 57 year old teenager, you got to get one of these,most fun car since my 70 LS6......Welcome to the forum great people and info.

I would think its better to find one on a lot thats as close as possible to what you want. The dealer wants to get rid of it, you get it sooner. There are a lot of factors that could delay it for weeks if you order.

Thank you all for your kindness and hospitality!

I'm going to order that SS Panel just 'cause the people on this forum are so friendly!

Happy New Year to Each & All!

Here I am responding to myself...

I drove an SS this afternoon. It was an automatic, but it still had good power. It's a little cramped (I drive a Honda Element, and it's huge inside) but, without a sunroof, there's a little more headroom.

I was surprised to learn that the "sport" seats are now standard, and Chevy has added a side skirt (running board thingie) to prevent stone chips on the rear fender.

Back to the drawing board tomorrow. I need to get bottom-line prices from three dealers before noon. Winner gets the order.

:welcome: to the site! Hope you score a great deal on that SS and get it in time to enjoy spring! :thumb:
