don't know yet but did a 40-110 roll vette against the cobalt. My friend was driving the cobalt and it was basically even (vette won by 3 feet). Based on that I would guess about 420whp.

Yeah, you should see the faces when the HHR kicks their *** as well. I hate the slight turbo lag but that will be taken care of pretty soon.

almost bought one.....couldn't find a stick and gave up. just then the 4-door SS started showing up on lots so I went with that

they are making killer tunes for both.
whats crazy is the canned tunes for the HHR are 20 more HP than the Cobalt.,...weird.

Yeah, once HP Tuners open more parameters for our ECM' we'll be better off. Direct injection is one of our best and worse items for performance as of now. Just glad the Aftermarket parts are coming out fast..

From low 14's to mid 13's stock. Tune only in the 12's. Even the HHR SS's are hiting low 13's with little mods. Traction is our biggest killer.
