your at the right place my guy!
When I bought mine..I was VERY new to the whole HHR SS Turbo world. Now....I feel I know alot just from this site and it's members.
As for some of the modifications...most people are go with a nice tune (which opens the thing up like crazy) and some simple bolt on's...like, a bigger Intercooler, Metal Turbo Piping instead of the junky plastic piping, & Catless Down Pipe. Pretty cool from just a tune...and a couple of very simple bolt on's....these things can produce some major major power!

Daily Driver
I just picked up a 2008 HHR SS and man this thing is going to get me in trouble. I needed a daily driver, so I parked the 2004 Cobra, 2006 Busa for a more all around daily driver. Well so far I have suprised a BMW M series, who took me lightly on the freeway, went after 2011 5.0L ( I work for these guys) and wow, is this thing fun. They had to get serious to get some meaningful seperation.
Stock, 5sp with 44,368 miles. I need to get this thing on a hoist to look for mods. Wow! Oh, did I mention the gas milage is great considering what I was driving.
