Not true. There are PTs that put down 400+

As far as I know. But then again, making a trans last is all about driving style.

From what I've been told by a SRT buddy of mine, all of the Neon SRT parts can be swapped but for some reason they don't put down as much. For example a 50trim on a neon puts down 440-485, on a PT it puts down around 390-425

I have to say since I bought this SS that was one of the most satisfying moments.....This car always seems to take people by surprise,I love the looks I get when someone pulls up alongside me I get the "look" then the double take then.. and I love this when it actually happens... if we both have our windows out I will get the"is that an HHR SS??"" I nod or say yes and then comes my favorite part.. when they ask "is it fast" to which my reply is always........ well you guys know this answer... its when the light turns green and they are left looking at your tail-lights

I pulled up to a group of 5-6 Harley's at a light a month ago. I nailed it when it turned green and soon had a swarm of angry bees chasing me. They were starting to catch me when I backed off a 70, but they were really working hard to do it......

No offence to Harley owners but I think too many people buy them as expensive butt jewelry that turns gas into mostly noise.

Expensive butt jewelry, and who's got a bigger one, and who don't, depending on how much they spend on mods. "Moon"

That's what's fun about them, a lot of the older ones are not all that fast and you can sure surprise them with the SS. Crotch rockets are another story all together though. No chance there.

Earlier this year I got flipped off by a guy in a Fiat 500 after I absolutely demolished him. Pulls up to the stop light and looks at me and starts revving his engine. Really dumb move........
