SRT8...has been traded

**Lik2race** · 05-27-2008, 11:33 PM

I know many of you will say I'm crazy, or several other things, but that's the way it
goes. I traded my SRT8 today for a Chevy HHR , SS Turbo. I had given this much
thought before I made this step, many factors played a part in my decision, and I
felt that this was the time to do some trading. I usually trade every 2-3 years, just
came early this time.
I have enjoyed the time I have spent here with you guys, I have learned a lot. It has
been an absolute pleasure getting to meet many of you face to face at some of
the "Gatherings". I wish you all the best in the years to come. I'll stop in from time
to time, just to see what y'all have done to your cars.
Thanks for the good times,
Stan

Nice ride. I didn't even know they made a turbo'd SS version.

If you take her to the track, let us know how she runs!

WOW Stan... sure never saw this coming! Well, now you have a clean slate to start your unique modding behavior again! LOL

Good luck to you... hope that some day we still will be able to meet up.

Wow! I didn't know they made a turbo either! I thought it would be a supercharged one.

Well, good luck Stan on your new venture.

nice new ride. i tried getting my wife to consider one for herself, but she doesn't like the look. gonna wait to see the new cobalt 4dr turbo that should be out soon. same 260hp in it too. that or an srt4 caliber or mazdaspeed or subaru wrx or ..... you get the idea.

Would like to get your thoughts on it after you put some miles on it. Im trying to get my wife to trade her HHR in for this version.
How is the gear shifting and clutching? Can you take some more interior pics. We have seen the exterior.
You buying or leasing? She is currently buying but could go leasing route.

Is that Sandstone exterior? Her favorite.

260 hp and 0-60 in 6.3 seconds if memory serves me right. This may have changed but that's what I had seen when I first heard about these a while back.
