This describes the car: (which by the way I bought as is, I take no credit for the speed mods) ZZPerformance in Wyoming says it is no doubt the fastest HHR in Michigan. I don't have any fancy photos but I'll try to take more. Dates on photos are not correct. Many thanks for your consideration.

Aftermarket upgrades and modifications:

Engine/drivetrain (done by ZZPerformance in Wyoming, MI):
-s256 turbocharger
-Stage 1 camshafts, with large fuel pump lobe and 82# valve springs
-Stage 4 clutch by South Bend
-ZZP Intercooler, air intake, blow-off valve and charge pipes
-ZZP stainless exhaust manifold, catted downpipe and 3" exhaust.
-Aluminum flywheel

Other upgrades:
-Eibach anti-sway bars and springs front and rear
-Willwood brakes with slotted and drilled rotors
-TWM short shifter
-Solid Motor Mount
-SRP aluminum racing pedals Interior is in excellent condition.
- Reconfigurable Performance Display.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, I do not see your last 3 pictures.

Thanks Solman, I reposted the pictures 3 times to no avail. I'll try again tomorrow.

Nice ride Boydie! I still haven't heard why you couldn't enter all three of your HHR's in one month or one next month if you win the month.

I fixed the one dead link Boydie, but the last two were DOA, try uploading them into your Gallery again.

As to the "folks who have a fleet/herd question" Oldblue, I'm talking with the Admins of a couple of our sister forums to see how they handle contests where members have more than one vehicle.

An official change to the contest rules will be announced for the May contest, that I/we hope will fair to both single HHR owners and multiple HHR owners alike.

P.S. Good luck Boydie.

Hello

I should have entered my black SS a long time ago but I just didn't find the time. I am a fairly busy old man.

I don't think it would be quite fair for a person to enter more than one HHR in a contest, hogging the show, so to speak and I wouldn't do it.

There are so many really nice HHRs on this forum that I never thought I would have a chance.

Boydie (now somebody buy my Grey Panel LT so I won't be a multiple HHR owner. I hate selling her because we grew up together LOL)

Hmmm Mike, those two other scans disappeared from my files. When I uploaded them Gremlins must have interfered. They ended up in my gallery but got lost on my computer. I replaced them with two others until I can find them again. I may take a drive to the Big Mackinaw bridge and take a couple of photos.


Thank you.

Finally got up some new pictures.

Please take another look.

I am not a photographer but it helps if you have a natural beautiful background.

They look just fine young fella, especially the blue paint against the water.
