HHR v. Jeep Liberty

Kinda' by accident....I raced a Jeep Liberty tonight. He was next to me in the turn lane, but he went straight. I needed to change lanes, so off we went. I had my A/C on and still edged him out. I know it's just a 4cyl., but it's good to know i don't have the slowest car on the street. (I used to drive a modded 5.0 Mustang).

Cool...good job hhr213. I dusted a silver PT Cruiser on my way home today. He gunned it at the light and looked over and floored it on the green...so I got on it and left him behind. (looked for cops 1st though )

I used to drive a Camaro with a 455. My tubron has about 330HP right now.
I still think the HHR can hold it's own.

And just think that he prolly burned $2 worth of gas in that little spat!
The Liberty's get horrendous gas mileage (like 22mpg x-way!!!)... sure - it depends on driving habits, but the same driver in an HHR would still average 22 CITY!

The HHR is a really good sleeper car. And I know about sleeper cars ... I used to own a '79 Cadillac that dusted a mid-'90s Corvette off the line.
