Yeah stop stepping on my First Amendment rights, you bunch of a-holes!! 
What I find funniest about this entire thread was that my first post said something to the effect of not trying to piss people off with my comments, even when I prepare people it doesn't go right. Oh and all those old muscle cars would have ended up with larger motors anyway. I don't think many people were going out and buying a 6 cylinder dart then dropping a hemi in it.

You have no idea what you are talking about, 24 years old come on, I have 4 sons older than you, that at least know something about this subject. because I have been building Classic cars as a hobby for well over 30 years. My last 3 ChevyII Novas have sold collectly for $83.650.00. I built all of these cars. I think it was a big mistake joining this site. I really thought this would be a good place to exchange ideas, boy was I wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enough said GOOD BY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely not!
Same Ecotec engine - pumping out 1000hp w/turbo. Same 5-speed - (although air-shifted!) - and mid-engine, rear-wheel drive.
All about speed! (And I like to read about it!)

There is a huge difference between a god damn 60's muscle car and a HHR. It is comparing apples to oranges, mod the **** out of your HHR, try to turn it into a race, I don't give a ****, I'm not saying don't do it. ALL I SAID WAS A HHR SPECIFIC MAG IS SOMETHING I WOULDNT READ AND THAT MODDING ONE TO BE FAST WAS ILLOGICAL TO ME!!! Is that clear enough for you?? There is a local kid here has a Cavalier with an ecotec, all moded to hell with a big turbo, it runs approx. 13.8 at around 100 mph. That is not fast to me nor would I dump that kind of money into a car to be that SLOW. Doing those same mods to an HHR is going to result in even slower times given the weight difference and aerodynamics, that is not fast enough for me.
Still learning and always respectful to those who made my path possible...
