Is your 2008 HHR an SS?

There is a RPM limiter in the ECM.
Why do you want to trash tires?

First off , pry off those SS badges, cause without the turbo, it’s just a nice car! Not a performance car! The SS had a lot more horsepower than the LS or LT’s
try the Bullit movie trick, spray some WD 40 on the tires, loads of smoke and a much shorter tire treadlife
