2008 Chevrolet HHR SS
The 2008 Chevrolet HHR SS is the latest example of what Chevrolet considers the new generation of SS cars — vehicles that, to quote the PR folks’ oft-repeated mantra, “go, stop and turn significantly better” than standard Chevrolet cars.
Chevrolet is counting on the HHR SS to give buyers a proper re-introduction to the SS lineup.
Chevy has eliminated this problem in the HHR SS, which is great — there’s no sudden burst of power to break the wheels loose as you jet out of the corners. But turbo lag is also a cheap thrill, and to be honest, I kind of missed it. Chevy claims a 0-60 time of 6.3 seconds and a 15.8 second quarter mile, but the HHR SS doesn’t feel that fast.
