Default pics of the new beater

well, i sold my Z, its on its way up to michigan and im bored so i figured i would share a couple pics of the new ride. its an 07 trailblazer SS, pretty excited because this is my first ever brand new vehicle. and i picked it up for $28K






no serious mods in the works, this is just going to be a fun daily driver. soon will be: pioneer in dash navigation, a remote start, and tinting the front two windows. and maybe a catback...................and some LTs...........i will stop myself now before i do something crazy

this was the easiest transaction ive ever had. props to the all american chevy guys in slaton, texas. i called them to see if they still had the TBSS, he said he did. i asked if it was still the same price(29k sales price for the previous weekend, down from 33k and change) and he says yes. i told him i would pick it up that night if he could stay open a little late for me, and they did. i ended up showing up 1.5 hours after close, with no go to hell looks or anything and get this, he says he misquoted me on price, so im thinking "here we go, let the screw job begin". then he said he actually quoted me about 1k more than it should have been. i ended up paying just over 28k. that was an awesome dealership to deal with. every other transaction ive had with one has been a little rough. they have a bright red Z06 on their showroom for 76k if anyone is interested.

LOL, thats exactly what I was thinking when I opened this thread. Except that these are lsx powered so way less finicky than the Typhoons were just think people dont really realize how nice these are, people knew what Ty/Sy's were, just they were kinda expensive and limited numbers

the wheels are boss 315s, i have a ADM cai(4inch with 100mm Maf) easy fiut but it needs a retune for it. SRfastZ- i do have times with the H/C but the were worse than before because one of the spark plug wires popped off when i was getting the tires sticky and i made the pass with only 7 spark plugs igniting since the other one was just hanging in mid air. made a 12.639 with only 7 plugs working though.

Have you ever tried to tow with the SRT8??

I like them but no towing and WAY over priced IMO.
