Joe Schulte's November 2011 Featured Submission

Name: Joe Schulte
Location: South Haven, MI
Car info: 2008 Chevrolet HHR SS
Stock Options: 5-speed, G85/LSD, Performance seats
Modifications:

Engine:
ZZP 3" catless downpipe
Dejon short ram intake w/AEM DryFlow
ZZP upper intercooler pipe
Dejon upgraded BPV spring
MPx oil catch can
Trifecta Tuned

Suspension/Wheels/Brakes:
18" forged Cobalt SS/TC rims
Pedder's Xa eXtreme coilovers (off the original Pedder's HHR SS)
Progress rear swaybar

Interior:
Gum Creek Customs vehicle holster

Exterior:
reflective red SS overlays
color matched OEM rear bowtie

Misc.:
Purchased in August and has been tracked on 4 seperate events this Fall, the day purchased I ran baseline runs at a local test & tune, 3 drag events and 1 auto-x event. Road course to come this Spring. An estimated $750 knocked 1.3 seconds off my factory times ran @ the track . Driven 400 miles a week for work commute alone, however plan to store it this winter with the addition of my first beater.

Future:
Goal to run a 12.9 this spring, to help get closer I will be retuned to lose the 5psi boost reduction killing my 60', swap to full E85, and a clutch to support such. If more is necessary I will proceed in a budget form!

Yeah, worked out a trade, had the tires swapped and slowly am repairing the crap rattle-can job the prior owner had performed. Once put away I plan to remove, break them down for sandblast and powdercoat. I loved the SS/TC wheels and wanted a flush spoke, plus the weight savings helped persuade too.
