there's 2 things different between a PT GT & other models.....

"GT" badging on the rear hatch & 17" chrome 5 spoke wheels. unfortunately both can be obtained easily so posers are out there.

also there's other PT models that are turbo, same as the GT just detuned from the factory. they'll have the "2.4L Turbo High Output" badging and 16" chrome wheels. their power output jumps right up to the PT GT with the Mopar stage 1 kit.

And that much text will certainly end up as the appropriately sized mouse type on the room allowed by a license frame.

Online search show the closest one 'listed' for sale is several hours away

When I bought my LT I had before, I found it via online search a couple of hours away in a small town. The dealer agreed to stay open late so I could go after work. We concluded at about 10pm and I drove it a couple of hours back home. When you find just what you want in a purchase this big, what's two or three hours each way?

If I were there he would have been more angry as I would have stepped on the gas and waved bye bye in my SS.

As for your plate it is cool but you are asking for trouble. It ain't bragging if you can back it up. I think you have some work to do or a SS to buy even if it is a few miles away.

So we've established that a PT GT is faster than a HHR LS or HHR LT. But is a PT GT faster than a HHR SS, or no? 230 HP sounds like it would be close match maybe. PT Cruiser might be a lil lighter too.... would it be a close match between a HHR SS and PT GT?
