Raced a Trailblazer SS
So I was driving down the main road through town and a TB SS pulled up next to me at the redlight. He was starring and revving at me so I was ready for a fight. Haha. Anyways, I knew that with the AWD he would beat me out of the light so I pretended not to notice. I babied it out of the hole and around 20 mph he was creeping right along side me. So I revved, he revved then he took off. I floored it and by 80 I had about a car and a half on him. Traffic got in his way so he had to let out of it. He was ahead until about 45. I highly overestimated those trucks. I thought they were quicker. For some reason I thought they were low 13 second trucks from the factory. But I just looked up the stats and I am not as enthralled by my victory now. Oh well, they are still badass SUVs. And I still love them. Haha.

80+ is the wall (3rd gear) after that they are dogs unless you got alot of mods, up to there they will keep up pretty well with most cars on the street if the tbss has the basic bolt ons with stall

They tend to be be alittle overhyped. Even with our mods its only a low 13 second ride. The awd stock really aren't impressive performing not much better than 2wd and the transmissions in the tbss are junk and don't last.
