^-- but nothing listed by the GM VP said you have to have a different spoiler or bumpers to be considered an SS model..
Look at the Camaro. LS1 z28 vs SS. Only real visual difference was the ram-air hood and some badges. Does it have specific front and rear facias and a spoiler ONLY found on SS models? No....
HVRod is going on the generalization that an SS model has to stop better, go faster, and turn better. He is accomplishing that. Those of you who keep berrating him are just not getting the point. So what if there's an SS version all ready coming out? He is making one for himself based on the GM VP's explanation. He already has his own version of what an SS should be. Now he is making a panel. Either applaud it or get off the high horse that this isn't a "real" HHR SS.

I can't help the GM VP was misquoted and I'm sure if you asked him face-to-face, he would say ALL HHR SS's have a differant front and rear facia. I'm kinda an oldschool guy and if you put SS emblems, and/or an entire "SS" drive train in a Malibu, Nova, Monte Carlo, Camaro, El Camino, or an Impala, DON'T try and tell me you have a Super Sport, because you don't!! You might have a nice car, done just the way you like it, but it's not an "SS".
BTW - I'm afraid of heights!
