Friday night lights showdown...

So, I have no clue who has the fastest HHR SS in the U.S.A., but in my area of deep south TEXAS = I ran an 11.913 in the 1/4mile on a SOLO TEST RUN. My question is, is that fast for a mildly built HHR SS? My goal is to achieve a 10 second 1/4 mile pass, but for that to happen = I'm currently upgrading a few parts. I've built my HHR SS in a SLEEPER STYLE MANNER, but to achieve my 10 second goal, she'll no longer resemble a SLEEPER BUILD, once I open the hood, etc. I've spent a ton of cash on the INTERNAL BUILD ASPECT OF THE MOTOR, while keeping the visible parts as close to STOCK OEM looking as possible. I'd say the $15K I've spent has been well worth it, the price would be double that, but thnx to my sponsorship, the costs have been cut in half, not to mention all the freebies as well...

I recently ran an 11.913 in the 1/4 mile out here in my area of DEEP SOUTH TEXAS. I'm not sure if that's fast or not, but I'm the fastest so far in the R.G.V....

Certainly not the fastest HHR SS , but that is a very good time.

I love sleepers. I'm thinking about debadging my SS. It's bone stock.

What makes it a sleeper is how it looks from the outside. Don't worry what it looks like under the hood.

If you do NOT have Brembos, that's a plus for the drag strip. A winning setup seems to be 15 in drag radials in the front, and to minimize weight transfer, a lowered suspension and a very firm or even solid rear axle.

You might need nothing more than nitrous if your build will take it. Transmission might be the weak link. You can help protect it in the tune. ZZP has a an F40 6-speed swap kit, and brand new F40s in stock. Not LSD tho. They also have alloy axles.
