so would that mean the auto would get a new trans with the stage kit?

I talked to a GM rep at SEMA.

Release date 1st quarter of 2009.

Reason is that they want to release 07,08, & 09 all at one time.
All that they're waiting for is the CARB paperwork for the 2009.
Everything is done, & ready to go.

Only a Stage 1 kit for the TC cars. No Stage 2 or 3 ,will ever happen.

They will 'lock' the program the best that they can do, as they don't want
anyone changing anything in the program.

The rep that I talked to didn't know if the 'program' raises the 255kpa limit.

No news yet but I assune if that is the reason the car is in there it is to test the durability of the trans. Maybe some news on monday.

I asked my top advisor on all worldly things and here is what I got.

Magic Eight Ball
Question: Will the HHR Turbo stage kit come out before the new year?
