That HHR is the GM Performance/ SoCal Speed Shop Bonneville car. This is the car that they crashed at a pretty high rate of speed last year......it is just about ready to return to the salt. That is one powerful four-banger there.

Nope, from what I remember is was lengthened 1 ft and chopped 6". 1000hp, if I remember!
It missed the speed record the first year, 2005, and wrecked during an attempt in 2006. There's a thread around here with lots of pics and a link to crash pics too.
Sorry, only 800hp, here's a link to a story on edmunds. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=106874

Maybe it wasn't 2007 that it crashed, I don't recall (getting old!). Anyway, I saw it just last month. I would have a better image but this thing was in the way!
I think 1000 hp is a little more realistic for this thing, you could almost put your head in the intercooler outlet duct!
