BTW, the since they're now required to be rated at the crank, the de-tuned engine in the auto cranks out LESS horsepower than a stock LSJ by about 10hp.

I don't understand how it's a 15 second car
Cobalt SS : 2951lbs + 240hp = 12.29 power to weight ratio
HHR SS : 3242lbs + 260hp = 12.46 power to weight ratio
It SHOULD do mid 14's

AUTOMATIC HHR SS: 3242 (with driver? without? don't know, haven't seen one weighed) + 240 hp = 13.5 lbs/hp
That's quite a difference. I can definitely believe an auto is a 15 second car.

that's assuming the email from the gm rep was legit of course.

Kinda not really at all man .
HHR SS curb weight : 3250
2008 Cobalt SS/TC : 2950
Thats a fairly substantial weight difference . Im posting GM times because , well , its all ya got to go by at this point . GM claims a 5-speed HHR SS is capable of a 14.8@98.5 mph 1/4 mile . For the 08 Cobalt SS , GM claims a 14.1@102 ....thats a pretty sunstantial difference too . Those time were taken from GM's press release data for both cars off GM dealerworld .

Well I believe that this dude had no clue what he was doing in his brand new car. He obviously didn't know how to use the no lift shift or drive for that matter because this hhr ss is a pretty mean vehicle. We will see when my dad gets his and then ill post some results. (My dad can drive ridiculously cuz hes had so many cars ie porsche, roadrunner, charger you name it)

Question... Has anyone ever dyno'd an HHR SS auto to confirm it indeed has less power then the manual?
GM could just "Say" it does. It's like our LSJ's only have 205hp from the factory

hmm ok well since you don't know what an hhr ss runs your comment is void. Also just because it has more bhp does not make it faster. there are other variables.
