turbo vs super
Spec ordered 06 LT1 w/2.4 auto w/clean/bare exterior,recd 11/05, have enjoyed 34k happy, carefree miles. Intend to order an 08, considered SS, but don,t like the plumbing & heat. My wonder for the day is why the cobalt superchg pkg was never offered on "our" wheels. It woulda been a nobrainer.

I think the reason GM did not make the supercharger like they did for cobalt was that the HHR is more for fuel economy than performance/tuner car. I do wish someone would make one specific to the HHR.

ur prolly right , but they,re still in the mix.talked to a Cobalt SS at a show last week. He just did a tour in germany (chopper W/O) & left behind an Opel ecotec SS, first thing home was the cobalt , said it was close to the opel. naturally, since ecotec was born there.

I dunno, I'm not that versed in turbos vs. s/c but maybe they didn't offer it b/c the 'charger makes what 205HP? Perhaps Lutz was thinking all along, "let's give the HHR some guts, let's give it 260HP." If you listen to him talk in the vids, he sounds like he wanted to give it some serious power from the get-go. A real "SS." If the HHR is heavier than the Cobalt (I have no idea), this makes even more sense.
