I've special ordered 2 new vehicles before. A 98 Dodge and the 2010 HHR SS.
Told both the sales managers that I DID NOT want to see a dealer sticker on them when I came to pick them up.
Yep. Both had the stickers on them when I went to pick them up.
Told the Chevrolet guy I was not happy. He blamed it on the prep crew. So, I just proceeded to peel that sticker off the hatch right there in the dealers lot !
And that was before I did the paperwork and paid for the car.

But I always give them an option: If they want to write me a check for $5,000 for advertising I will leave it on.
I figure with 100 miles of commuting each day, my car is seen by a few hundred to 1,000 other drivers (maybe) per day X 5 days a week X 50 weeks a year for possibly 8 years, I think it is a bargain for them.
But no one has taken me up on it so far.

What supercharger is installed on the SSR? Is it a centrifugal or positive-displacement (Roots) type?
Must be generating some serious horsepower with the blower, even if its a mild (5-7psi) kit.
Any engine pics showing the supercharger?
