Default Trailblazer SS

Well over the weekend going to Springfield to the Car Craft Nationals, I got my first kills in wife's Trailblazer SS on the way up. I knew it ran good but damn. I spanked a Saleen Mustang it was funny. I was following a C5 vette and we ran up on the Saleen so the vette and the saleen slowed down and got it on. The vette walked the saleen so then the saleen thought he would pick on me. I spanked his *** lol. Then I got up to the vette and got some of him. If you don't know the Trailblazer has 4,10's stock so we went from about a 50 mph roll I floored it. It downshifted to second to about 4800rpm's and jumped about two lengths on the vette before he knew what hit him. We only raced to about 90 before we run up on traffic. LOL you just don't expect it out of a suv. I got the new Borla dual exhaust on it. It sounds sweet.

man that pic is insane. It was a car show it was really good and a cruise that night. Burnout out on the street and all. That was the 10th show in a row for me. I met some of the f-body and vette guys there.

High 13's in good weather. May be able to pull some mid 13's, might take some weight reduction for that though.

I'm having a ton of fun with mine, the 4.10 with the 3.06 1st gear trans makes for a good leave They have the engines so detuned in these it isnt funny, tune really steps them up. If you have to drive an SUV (kids etc) its a blast, amazing what you can beat st the stoplight drags and the 50mph downshift to 2nd has surprised a few people lol.

I like mine too!




KP, I didn't know you had one? I got mine a little over a year ago. I just installed a Yank 3600 last Saturday, as well as a tranny cooler and billet 1-2 servo, among my other mods........ Although these trucks have 4.10's from the factory, they're still a dog out of the hole......not any more.

Got one a couple months ago, I wouldnt say its too doggy out of the hole but I havent ran it at the track yet. I'm sure a converter would wake it up quite a bit though. Its just a stripper 2WD with a sunroof the only option, fun *** car for sure

They are a ton of fun. Mine is a Stripo with no options!! Not even compass in mirror.
4.10's are fun with the short tires and DR's w/ convertor.





Trucks a lil dirty in these pics.
