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 .....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.

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. The LNF is going to a new animal compared to the LSJ i think.

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.

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

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, but ill stick around the boards.


Jake


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!
Im going to have one at my dealership by the end of the month.. its already built now its being shipped here... lol but thats cool man.. the HHR SS will be nice.. THese are just the perks of working at a dealership..

The cobalts will be around 23-24 fully loaded... they will be 20-22 with minor options... but none the less still a great car... I only know this because i work at a dealer...
