I have a 2008 HHR SS automatic, I am not saying it is the world's fastest HHR, but I have not yet been defeated. I try not to look for trouble, but it usually finds me. I like the fact that people don't respect the SS badge. They take the Turbo for granted, and are surprised when they come up short. I love my SS and would not trade it for anything. I have raced 350Z's, Mazda 3 wagon, S2000, and of course rice rockets. Just today on my way home a turbo-charged Genesis coupe pulled up next to me on the 91 FWY and after 3 hanks we both took off. All I was able to see was the Genesis in my rear view mirror. Later down the road, while stuck in traffic, he pulled up next to me and asked what I had in my HHR and was surprised I took him.

I LOVE MY SS!!!!

 

I love mine too , keep an eye out for smokey's.

 

I have lost a few red light matches.....one that I was kinda mad about because my boost was acting up. From a roll against a MS3, I lost by about a car from 30-80 or so... But I only hit about 12lbs of boost at wot...I did beat a yellow RX8 this morning though

 

Wow you guys are lucky it seems like since I got my GMTU I havnt seen any sports cars on the road or any car willing to race for that matter. Before the upgrade everyone wanted a pice. I haven't been able to really test out the GMTU except against a Mazda speed 3 which I beat but that was a few months ago. Oh well the bottom line is that the HHR SS rocks and all those haters and skeptics can shove it

 

Sweet to hear. They laugh at us, that's okay. Keep laughing, cause it's usually us laughing in the end.

 

Are all y'all automatic

 

same hear its almost as if they know its been tuned and they stay away.
Of course now mine is sleeping for the winter while the salt is on the roads.

 

HA!! I Just beat another Mazdaspeed 3 on the highway. Angry littel hatch my ass!

 

I think I can beat my HHR in a foot race.... it is fun to drive though.
I have the 2.2 and I wouldnt try to race anyone..... now thats
what my classic cars are for :)

 

Wish I could be driving my ss
But it's sleeping for the winter.good to see u guys are out having fun.
