While there are people who think they won't move out of showrooms, GM and SoCal Speed Shop are working together to make a Chevrolet HHR move 250 mph across the Bonneville salt flats. SoCal is hard at work on the project, having chopped seven inches from an HHR and reshaped the front end.
The plan is to make 1400 hp from a single-turbo Ecotec four, a powerplant similar to that in last season's Ecotec-powered SoCal racers like the Cobalt and belly tank. If all goes well, the HHR will be on the salt in August.

gotta love areo-dynamic bricks
And this translates to the consumer market how? Still cool though I guess.
i honestly have herd nothing about this car, i know its based on the delta, and uses the ecotec, but ughhh i think chevy is going to need to market a little if they want it to sell
basically chevy pt cruiser
I've never ever liked the PT Cruiser at all. But the more I look at the HHR, the more it grows on me. True its stying is along the same lines, but it is significantly different. I really liked the one that WCC did that was at the LA Auto Show (http://www.gmenthusiast.com/gallery/laautoshow2005/Preview/ChevyWCCHHR01.jpg). I would like it better with a slightly different front grille, but for what it is, it is quite nice looking. The PT is a decent seller, I think the HHR just might be as well. I certainly like the fact that it has an Ecotec, gobs of power made easily is yummy.
