Re: Spy pics: '08 HHR SS

That right there under the bumper says Turbo to me. I wonder if it will be 260HP. I could see them lowering the output to 240ish since it is a FWD.

That was my intial thought too, but I still don't have solid info one way or the other. Heh, although, please don't post my pics. A URL link is fine with us. Thanks.

Hell, the new Caliber SRT-4 is FWD and will have 300 turbocharged horsepower. The HHR SS will be pretty much a direct competitor. As far as I'm concerned, 260 is nice, but GM is already behind the curve...don't go down, turn the boost up.

Needs a good washing.

Someone is going to be pissed when they see the scratches in the bumper.

True, They will probably keep the engine the same as the other Chevy Delta, the Cobalt SS.
