I have a 2010 SS with 23789 miles on it. 5 speed manual. All bolt ons tuned 347 HP to front wheels. I've surprised a lot of young guys... It looks like a grocery wagon.
Music is a bit too loud. But yes I love my SS. 2008 Automatic. Power when you need it. There are features on the HHR that makes a lot of sense. But for me the biggest reason why I love the HHR SS is the unique design and the fact that you don't see a lot of them on the road. I mean where I live and work there are so many Accords, RAVs, Highlanders, Corolla...it's ridiculous. I don't like that at all. Same reason I hate iPhones LOL.
I’m a big Mustang fan, I own a 13 GT currently and a my 2nd HHR SS automatic in Red, the first was an automatic in Black which had the Stage 1 upgrade. I shamed Corvettes, Camaros, Chargers, Challengers, Mustangs and more with my 08 black HHR SS! And the autos have positraction and launch control with a 2800 stall lock-up torque converter standard both the 08 and my 09 had it. I traded the 08 to buy new my 13 Mustang GT 5.0. Besides having double the horsepower of my HHR SS I find both cars equally thrilling and fast fun cars. I’m 67 and a retired US Army guy who’s owned many different performance brands and models the HHR SS is faster than most stock muscle cars of the past even some that are only slightly modded, a true sleeper that handles well and brakes well with a factory stock top speed of 155, low 14s to high 13s in the 1/4 mi at just over 100!
I have a 2009 SS panel. 2 liter automatic. Aqua Blue Mettalic one of just 9 in this color. One of 216 SS panels built that model year. Had the performance digital display in the centre dash. Ordered it brand new same owner for 12 years. Daily driver and cruisein/show vehicle now has 135 thousand 400 hundred some miles on the clock ⏰! Love it. Receive alot of nice comments from spectators like luv the color really didn't know Chevy built these and so on. Added a Magnaflow catback exhaust a year later then EBC drilled/slotted rotors 4 better stopping power.
Have a 2010 from new. Love it! More fun than my Viper because it's so agile. Had dealer add GM's Stage 1 upgrade (bigger MAF sensors + flash) at 40K miles. Makes a GREAT car even better. Dynos at 300+ HP. And how about those Brembo brakes? It's quite the toy. Now have 85K miles and hope it lasts forever.
I have a 2009 SS 5sp with the limited slip differential and brembo brakes performance package, Flash Blue Metallic paint. I picked it up a couple years ago with 90,000 miles. I love it! Lots of fun to drive and gets 30 mpg on the highway. I've started upgrading the motor and transmission mounts ect in anticipation of power upgrades.
Hell yeah HHR SSs are true sleepers I had an 08 that I traded for 13 Mustang GT. And now I own an 09 HHR SS auto and yes I still own the Mustang. I put 19×8.5 inch wheels on my HHR SS with Michelon 255/35/19 Pilot Sport 4s tires and now she rockets from a stand still and brakes, rides,stops and handles even better. Truly a fast fun car.
I absolutely love my '08 SS. It's not in the best shape by any means but it drives like no other car I've ever driven. Still have yet to tune it or mod it beyond a cherry bomb muffler
my grandpa has an '08 hhr panel ls and it has like so much storage we haven't had to like do anything with it for 14 years except like the brakes are squeaking
Your forgetting the best part. During the development Chevrolet tuned the HHR SS's suspension on the historic Nurburgring ring in Germany. They even set a new record in the process. The new record was for "Small van # 8 min 43 sec. It turns out she isn't just a pretty face.
You know I never really thought of owning one of these but yesterday, as I was browsing the used car market I came across a 2009 SS 1 owner black with a 176k, for $5k it caught my eye because it appears to be pretty clean so now I’m just looking around and watching videos of them. The one thing not many people talk about is if they are comfy or not. How is the seat and leg room?
They’re so comfortable! SS bucket seats with a nice cloth/leather finish. Super cushy. One thing I will say with higher miles on these make sure timing is done. That’s the #1 downfall of these engines
@@Lowgz thank you Sir. I was watching another one of your videos where your rod shot out of the oil pan.. good videos man. Keep up the good work. You had talked about the engines and reliability at 150k. I’m just looking for a new daily. I have a 20119-3 sport combi and a 2010 Volvo S80 V8 but my daily is a 2011 Crown Victoria bought it with 58k now has 327k on original motor and tranny. It’s been my daily for the last 7 years-kind of want something different, the Vic is showing her age a little but she never left me stranded and swear it will go another 100k lol.
@@mikeeyg1977 haha yes sir I suggest an HHR SS. Perfect daily that gets decent gas mileage and has decent horsepower numbers. Love mine! Looking for an engine still, haha but love mine
Also I must add that the auto is not slower the 5 speed. The trans can handle 450 pound feet of torque and the auto is 260 hp/torque same as the 5 speed power is limited in 1st gear to 235 to not melt the tires off the front with using the standard 2800 stall and launch control. HHR SS Turbos are beasts on the street shame cars costing far more I once beat a V10 Audi who tried to shame me and got gapped and I walled him on top end! HHR SS is a rock star! 👍🏾
I love my HHR SS but I really want a Camaro and I can't get anyone to buy my HHR. Bunch of cheep people wanting to offer way below market. Kind of socks.

Would y’all rock an HHR SS?
I had one in September 2020 and got tboned head on in October, greatest month of ownership, still in the process of finding another clean one
@@gilhiggins that sucks :/ they’re so hard to find low miles & clean!

What modification did you to the SS to be that fast and how high was the HP Outpuz?

That’s so sweet. My favorite color of the HHR’s. Love it man! That’s a gem 💎
I had a 2009 manual SS just like yours. I had the GM turbo upgrade kit on mine. It was a fun vehicle to drive.

I loved everything about mine. Definitely a blast. FBO spices these up
How much does the stage 1 cost and can the engine and automatic handle it?

I’m heading to look at one to possibly purchase it! Thanks so much for the information! I’m excited!

Be careful with it & treat it good, you have a rare one - only 199 AA5 option SS were made.
She’s getting the full works next year with a new engine and big turbo!
Would you happen to know how many 2010 HHR SS’s were made in crystal red metallic tintcoat ?
Had an HHR with a 2.2L. Such a cool vehicle. May have to get an SS at some point!
It’s true, I DO need one of these!
i love mine ita a 2010 HHR SS but automatic .....your right it handles well and is fun to drive
Automatic is not better?

I love my HHR SS but I really want a Camaro and I can't get anyone to buy my HHR. Bunch of cheep people wanting to offer way below market. Kind of socks.
Yeah they’re a hard car to sell. You need the right buyer. Did you post in Facebook HHR groups?
I have 2009 panel
Can you please turn up the music a bit. I can’t really hear it and I love music!!!
Haha I forgot you turn down the music I get it I get it
Nice car, have one too. But why do too many TH-camrs use such LOUD AND ANNOYING BACKGROUND MUSIC..!?
It’s not even that loud ya boomer
@@Lowgz Well... It's in the eye (ear) of the beholder, you know.. But if you don't want criticism, turn off the comment section. Ya youngster :-D
...and I notice I'm not the only one commenting on the loud music...
@@henketh yes it was a joke. Thank you for the feedback hah I’ve made note of it and will be making sure it’s turned down in the future
@@Lowgz Cool, and thanks :)
I mean I have a LT but I want a ss
SS’s are fun! But these are good cars in general, ss or not
Super annoying music.
Don’t remember asking
background music too loud
I want to buy one
Me too I miss it lol
I think my Flex would destroy the HHR.
Cap
wanna sell it????
@@1160wILlArD nope :)
No
Music is so loud I had to back out of this video
Thanks for the comment
Nah bro, it's a fugly car..
Definitely get this car you will never get a girlfriend ever again and you will have plenty of money because you will never have kids.
Luckily for you, you don’t have to buy this car to never get a girlfriend! You saved the most money!
