No no bat mobile saw that one on cars.com. Got mine 08 5 speed sunroof 49k for 11, 600. The GTO was fun just wasnt a true homage to the classics since the aussies made it. I needed a stall and dyno that was going to be over a grand after install and I didnt want to dump anymore into it just for a gas guzzler with winter knocking on the door. The HHR is alot of fun, loved the look since they came out and its just very versatile.

Hey Blue, I used to get 21-23, but tuned it and it gets 27 now, must be the added torque.
I've been thinking about that (tuning). I've also been thinking about autocrossing it next year. If I tune it, I get dumped into either DSP (Do Spend Prolifically) or SM (Spend More) classes. My last car was in DSP, and it was fun, but it was also expensive, and still not fully competitive. Trying to resist the urge and stay Stock for a while is HARD...

If I had one of those selectable tunes that I could switch back to stock easily, that might do the trick.

Besides the money issue, there's already a couple of strong Cobalt SS-es in DSP locally. It would be hard to beat them when they have the same power in a slightly lighter car - as well as a headstart on all the aftermarket stuff to make it handle better. That would require the HHR driver to be significantly better . I might eventually go there, but I'd rather get it sorted for Stock class first.

Yeah ill take some later. The dealer pics have stock wheels which I guess were stolen off the car on their lot. They put on brand new ASA wheels and tires. Its a sharp little car.
