Default New Ls2 in the Family (Pics)

06 Trailblazer LT SS AWD



Seat of pants feel is great...I would guess 13's stock no prob...(all be it high 13's)!!!!
And yes the CTS-V is gone But the New ride is better all around...
"Better for the winter and for the little one on the way"

Goes good for what it is.....Thing leave hard w/ AWD. A convertor would make the thing pretty sick. I would race a stock lightning on the street. Might not win but it would be a good race.

Sean,

I'm trying to think back and figure out how many times I have told you "Great new ride!" Congratulations on the new "family-mobile" with a whole lot of right pedal fun. I love my 5.3L Trailblazer EXT and it is great for getting everyone where they need to be with all of their stuff. Our mini-van (currently a Honda Odessy) is still tops for moving a young family around, though.

-Ken

Nice ride.
I have yet to see one on the road here in NJ.
The headlights still look good on those. I was at a chevy dealer a couple of weeks ago and saw the regular 06 trailblazers. I am not a big fan of not having the headlights split in the middle with the bar.
Good luck with it.

What kind of gas mileage you get with the SS,I'm debating on going to pick one up but the dealers don't have any yet in Canada.Is the AWD alright in snow?
