I wouldnt be able to climb in and out of the Vette or the Camaro with the way my back is. My HHR has been the only vehicle that I have been comfortable in and easy to get in and out of for me and my worn out back. My dad had a 70' Challenger when I was a lil kid, and it was a freakin screamer. Would eat up anything that tried to fool around with it.

I'm really glad that you all like it, I really debated about even telling anyone about it since this is a site for the HHR and Chevy cars in general. I am still loyal to Chevrolet and this is only the second time I've ever spent money on a "Not A Chevy", thanks for not being mad at me.

Right now the SS and the R/T sit nose to nose in the garage just two inches apart, if cars could think, I wonder what the Dodge would be thinking as it stares at a badge that just says SS 427. I know I'd be nervous because you just don't mess with an SS.

Since Kevin asked in a PM, here's a pic of my Mom's Vette. Its a 2008 automatic in Atomic Orange, right now she has 89,000 miles on it. Yes, my Mommy has the fastest car in the family and she's been driving Corvettes only since 1978.

Yes, that means that the steel wheels are coming off, and the chrome rims are going back on.

I think that's a wise choice Kevin! Sorry to jack the thread... it's so easy to start talking about something else.

Lessee... a low 13 sec Challanger against a 14 sec HHR SS......nope, not happening. We talking in stock form but throw in the Kit for fun. The car is a brute and yes from what Ive read its an auto with 3.08 gears pulling those numbers.Always loved the Challangers / Cuda's...after owning several D cars through out time, still a fan. Guy I work with has one AND two winged/nosed P cars, one original and one restored. Lucky bastard!
