New SS Owner

Hey all, just picked up an 08 Black SS. Traded in my 2004 GTO w cam and headers for it. Always been in love with these cars and happy to finally own one.

Hope to talk to you all !

any reason you wanted to go with the HHR SS over the goat? I'd never trade in a goat (espcially with teh mods you listed) for an HHR SS!

It had problems with the tune and wasnt in the best of shape (rear seats ripped which was a common issue, my driver door speaker was cracked, steering wheel button broken, door dome light cover popped off. Plus I work about 40 mins away so 12.7mpg wasnt cutting it. Plus it sucked in the snow, the goat was a bullet but the HHR is way more practical not to mention the cargo room vs GTOs joke of a trunk

It seems there are others who traded in their GTO for an SS here. You just wait, you'll have company before you know it.

I would do the swap on MPG alone. My crappy MPGs are still 23-ish in the SS. Gas costs real money...

Welcome to the SS family Chris da fish. I wouldn't trade mine for a goat, they look good, but I just love the old lines.

Hey Blue, I used to get 21-23, but tuned it and it gets 27 now, must be the added torque.
