Ya im buying a 2008 LNF HHR, the first one rolls of the line on the 31st unless GM pushes the build date back....But my salesman said i will be able to test drive then order mine in 5-6 weeks when their first one arrives, and they are the first dealer in st.louis that is getting one this quick. So im really excited!!!!!!!!!! Im buying a fully loaded Black HHR SS/TC 5M. I could have placed the order for one now, but it would be 3 months before i get it and i have heard horror storys of people waiting forever for their car to arrive before they have even been built, it happend with alot of the civic SI guys, but i need to test drive one before i order mine and have it built, so ill be leaving the LSJ community very soon:bye:, but ill stick around the boards.


Jake:cool:


I will have way more info from GM on everything i want with it very soon, my salesman called them directly to get me all the info i need.


Let me know what you guys think??? Im so excited!

Cobalts are so much better than HHRs. That is one car that it actually uglier than the PT cruiser.

i had an 2008 hhr lt for a week it was ok but still kinda small inside the SS looks sweet. i turned the hhr in and decided to get the cobalt the hhr was over priced for what it is wonder how much the SS is tho prolly trade the cobalt for one i a couple of years i want a white one....

Well im just going to get A 3" Catless turboback, custom intake and a custom FMIC to start....Then hopefully BSR makes the Flash for the HHR SS, then ill boost at 24psi with that and make over 300whp :guns:.....This thing is going to make my redline look slow after i get a few mods.Oh and i was priced at 23k-25k fully loaded.

Don't count on it.:lol:

12-17-2007, 01:45 AM
Well my Redline on nitrous im sure made over 300whp and still felt pretty slow, besides the fact you could feel yourself sinking back against the seats once you hit about 80mph, haha........Just with a few mods the LNF can make 300whp quite easy, i have been looking at their forums, and JMBPerformance is in st.louis and Justins mom owns an LNF vehicle he has been messing with, so i can get custom one off parts made for great prices from him.:guns: The LNF is going to a new animal compared to the LSJ i think.:)

05redline
12-17-2007, 01:57 AM
I think the highest HP LNF out there I've seen was close to 285whp, and that's with IC, IC pinping, TBE, and a tune. If 300 whp felt slow in the RL, what makes you think a HHR is going to feel any quicker becuase 300 whp is not going to happen with it. Unless a lot more comes out or you put nitrous on it.

12-18-2007, 01:23 AM
hahaha 285whp???? Damn man i have seen 12 second passes and 310+whp out of the LNF RL'S/GXP'S

Chevy just released pricing on the HHR SS. Starting at under $23K. Fully loaded, around $27K. Hoping the Cobalt SS will be priced less... :cssNET: :cssNET:

That would be a first. Out of all of the Sky RL and Solstice GXP forums I look at from time to time, I haven't seen anyone break the 300 mark yet nor come close to 12s.
