I must say....I LOVE driving this car(MY 2009 SS). I had an 07 HHR 2LT with the 2.4 which I loved but always wanted the SS. As much as I hate my job,I look forward to my 20 minute drive to and from work now. The power of this car,the handling,everything is awesome. I knew the car would be great,I work in a Chevy dealer as a Parts Manager and we sold 3 of these already and the customers all came back and said they loved it. I will admit that Sunday on a parkway I was doing 70 and just hammered it....it went up over 100 mph in no time and with no effort too. Now I dont drive like that normally and I dont condone it,I just did it because it was early in the morning on a looooong stretch of road with no one else near me. There is the disclaimer.
How does everyone else enjoy theirs?

 

If you would let me drive yours for a couple of weeks I could answer your question.

 

I took one for a test spin today, it was an automatic, but OMFG it was a friggin blast to drive!!!! It was an 08 and the only one available to me, but you test drive what's near.

Handled like a dream and I never even really got to put my foot into it.

Dude you are so lucky, hopefully once things balance out I might be able to get one.

It's a blast!!!!!!!!!

 

I am from NY too!!! Lower Westchester just above Manhattan.

 

I love driving this car as well. Any excuse to go for a drive I take. Ill be through my extended warranty in no time the pace I'm going. And I'm sure it'll be just that much more fun as soon as I get my stage 1 kit installed.

 

Ok, sorry for the bit of a hijack, please splain??

Stage 1 kit for the HHR SS will increae my HP from 260 to 290 and the torque from 260 to 315 and will remove the de-learn feature so any mods I add will increase them even further..

 

COOL!!! How much does that go for??

Thanx, Glenn |B)

 

You guys are making me nuts.

Mine is supposed to arrive next month.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!
