It took me a little while to find mine and get the price I wanted. I purchased it from a Chevy dealer that is 150 miles from my home.

Shaggy. Did you see my post earlier about the GM Turbo Upgrade kit?

Shaggyofwv

Yes, I did. Thanks for the info. Does it have a different stock# that I need to be aware of so that I don't get the old style kit?

Im doing the same thing looking a distance away if I cannt get my price. I found 1 that doesnt charge Doc or prep fees so Im throwing that at the dealer her tomorrow,,If the other dealer can sell it for the mid 11's with no added fees so can this guy,I know it is a all prrofit margin for them to help off set costs but I tighter then a Ducks butt and thats water tight lol

Welcome! Enjoy that SS!

welcome shaggy!!!

with enough work, the SS could be equally as fast as the GTO

My GTO had a Vararam CAI, American Racing long tube headers, SLP Loudmouth II catback, GMM ripshift short shifter, custom dyno tune, Lovells springs and struts,..etc. She was putting, if I recall correctly, around 370hp to the wheels.

My wife hated the time I spent with that car. LOL

I'm trying to resist doing all of that to the HHR, but I will probably fail.

Hello I'm also new with a 2008 HHR LT. Plan to keep it simple and clean.

Mine had a K&N intake, Kooks LT headers , custom exhaust w/Summit Racing Cats and Stainless Steel Turbo Mufflers (presently not on it because I had to smog test), GMM Ripshift, the street version and a tune. Good enough to get it solidly into the mid 12s on stock suspension w/slicks when everything was on it. It presently has the stock exhaust and a different tune.

Nice. The GTO was a blast to own. Nothing like working that 6 speed with that monster 6.0 growling. Total muscle car nirvana. LOL

My wife has a 2010 Camaro, but it is an auto and I just don't like automatics that much.

Anyway, other than missing the sexy noise that my GTO made, I am having a blast with the HHR SS. Can't wait to get the Turbo upgrade and I have been reading on here that people recommend getting new motor mounts so I may go that route also.
