Wow. Thats what I was thinking, but wasn't sure. I'm going to call my Dad right now and let him know.

Funny thing is, he went to the Chevrolet dealership to buy a Vette and came home with an SS insted.LOL....

You know... I have heard a variety of specs on that, depending on the source. I think that GM boasted of 156 mph, but I believe it was Car-Driver that posted it as 147. Either way, it is pretty damn fast!

Here are some previous discussions on that, 145 is about right, but don't try it please.

That's very cool. Saved himself about 40-50K and got a great car that gets way better gas mileage.

Yes, well, thanks to my Mother. He's turning 60 this year and wanted to treat himself to a toy.

Actually he saved about 20 to 25 thousand and the HHR only gets a little better gas mileage than the Corvette. Maybe 2 miles to the gallon better.

He'll have just as much fun with the SS, plus: better mileage, versatility, easier to get in and out of, etc. etc. etc...............
