A panel HHR SS would be nice

I have seen one or two - don't know if they have aftermarket mods.
They are a good looking vehicles IMO.

Makes no difference how it started out stock, does it?

It started life about 40 years too late to be gasser material

Re: Why no PT Cruiser gassers?

Man, I am surprised at the animosity towards PT Cruisers here.
They enjoy a huge fanbase here on the High Plains.

Around here they are kind of a poser minivan.....

Re: Why no PT Cruiser gassers?

They are a practical little people mover - as Dan has figured out with his HHR...

but I have to admit - I've seen way too many of them painfully overdone with every gadget from JCWhitney thrown at them.... horrible.

IMESHO - no FWD vehicle should ever be set up as a gasser.

that would be funny if it weren't coming from someone who paid money for a "Prowler"

Re: Why no PT Cruiser gassers?

Dayum! Those are some wretched-looking barfmobiles. WTF?

Re: Why no PT Cruiser gassers?

prowler had a cool look
pt is/was a really poor excuse for a car
makes a neon look like an imperial

Re: Why no PT Cruiser gassers?

Perhaps nobody has because they are stupid, lame, ugly, and a soccer mom conveyance. Why not make a gasser out of a minivan or a neon, same thing.

: thats kinda what I thought, but no offence guys

Re: Why no PT Cruiser gassers?

I hate to be a car hater , but a PT just doesnt do it for me, it would have to be a last chance car if I had to have it.
when they first came out they was overpriced forever, now they have the resale value of a Yugo. People just act like they are so cool because they look like something of days gone by, but hey ,to each their own. Ditto on the HHR, looks cooler, has more balls, but still FWD.

Re: Why no PT Cruiser gassers?

I think a PT Cruiser gasser would be cool. Cars don't rust as bad as they once did, I'd buy a tired one, build a simple rectangle tube frame, a cage, and mount the body. I think it could be done fairly cheap. I once had plans to build a gasser style S10 pickup, or Blazer. Similar style to a Willys pickup, or Thames panel truck, in my opinion. Since it would only be a cruise night poser, I'd use a $100 305. Tunnel ram and fenderwell headers, straight axle, I figured about $5000 all in.

Re: Why no PT Cruiser gassers?

Because they are ugly, hopeless, useless vehicles that have no right to live in any form.

That's why.

Thank you..

Re: Why no PT Cruiser gassers?

I do not like transverse drivetrains in anything.. the common crumple up and die or slam the engine through the firewall like a wrecking ball is a nightmare (think quick)

anyway, I got hit by a pt cruiser, and before the accident turned to hit and run, I noticed the front end held up smarter than expected to witness (I got thumped pretty hard on a steep hill from behind)...
even faking that curvy normal mounted appearance helped it some.

I always ponder a boxer hacked in for FWD that has something to remember. As It will never be the engine. :

I do like that hhr, have seen a couple.
