Regarding TB SS vs HHR SS. My 2 cents worth having driven both is that a HHR SS 5 speed + $1000 is faster 0 to anything than a TB SS + $1000, but only with a skilled driver. With a TB SS you just have to mash the throttle and go. If any corners are involved, rough road especially the TB will be a small image in the rear view mirror of the HHR. That said, good luck towing your ski boat with the HHR (or a jeep).
