Not to promote anything illegal...but I made a short trip up to Lake Arrowhead the other day and on the way home hit 110 on the open road. Seemed like the HHR (stock 2.4L), had plenty left at that point. Has anyone gone faster?

Over a month ago I was in Florda and we wound up renting an LS HHR. It was a different experienced comprared to my LT2. I wound up driving over 100 MPH on I-95 going from Fort Lauderdale towards Boca. It was smooth. I have not had the chance or open road around me in New York to Open my bad boy HHR up. Plenty of Traffic if you know what I mean

I drove to Syracuse and back over the weekend and had the opportunity to take up to 100 on the way back on 81 in PA several times(averaged over 31MPG too) had no problems and definately felt like I could take it higher...

I'm always driving 80 or 90 to and from work. I have went into the mid 100s but haven't got a chance to bury the needle yet. Its coming soon. I at least want to wait untill after my first oil change.

Well, I walked away from a PT Crooner today...just left him in the dust basically. I was waiting to empty this tank and throw some octane booster in to see how she responds. After the Crooner episode, I decided to skip the booster...not needed!

I'm guessing with the K&N intake and Borla exhaust - she'll be all I'll need!

The HHR does have more horse power then the PT. So we are always going to beat them in a race. A couple of mod's with Extra HP could play a difference. Now if you lost the PT, I doubt you would ever post "Hey Guess what a PT Cruiser beat me".
