This ain't the drivers first rodeo, he's been road racing for awhile now. |

The problem is that the HHR wasn't designed for track racing, nor can any amount of modifications make it good for such a thing. Certain things aren't made for certain activities. Even if you try making it work for said activity - It's still gonna suck.

2 edits | Got the car to 100 on the back stretch and took turn one at Mid-Ohio at 70 mph - that IS fun.
A emergency room doc who was one of my instructors commented on how he had forgot how much fun the car was and considered buying a Civic HB to fix up and take to the track - he usually wen to to the schools with a screaming yellow M3. |

kudos:1 | I wish there was a track around here that I could play with my car on. Not the fastest car, but fun nonetheless - an 09 Sentra SE-R Spec V. It's decently set up, just went for a performance drive in it tonight with the wife on a small and quiet highway and back roads. Some good driving to be had around here.

Gurnee, IL | The point is that the amount of money that is required to make such a piece of crap DO that, you could have spent /less/ on the Camaro and achieved even better results.

| Actually my understanding is that particular year had some kind of interesting motor that was very powerful but of course was kneecapped by Chrysler.... with some modifications it's true nature was apparent...
