It's brand new, had only 10 miles on it. The SS just came out a few months ago. It's a turbocharged 4 banger, 260hp. I needed the ability to haul 6 cases of paper and two kids. I could do it in the Charger but it was getting old. So this fit the bill.

The saleman thought I was crazy too trading in a Hemi Charger Road & Track Edition for this. I told him the SS would keep up, if he wanted to try. I had to go back today to get my personalized plates on the Charger and he wanted to test my theory. I bought it at 10pm so they didn't even test out the Charger. They just wanted to get me outta there and gave me what I wanted.

SS HHR - 260hp, turbo, weight 3300lbs.
Charger - 335hp V8, weight 4400lbs. with the 22's

1100lbs. difference. I kept up with him till I hit 90 then let him go, being new I didn't wanna push it. It's quite peppy, reminds me of my Focus SVT.
