There is no way in hell I would ever do that. No offense to you, you gotta do what you gotta do, but that makes me cringe like crazy.

You should put two guys in the back with paddles and have them paddle while you race a civic.

Wish I could find a hitch for my WS6... I have a 4-wheeler that I can not use, cause I can't pull the trailer anymore since I got rid of my Yukon.

The reason GM opted for CME for C5 vette was so people wouldn't tow with them. Cause if there was room for a hitch you know someone would be towing with their vette!

HaHa, you guys are welcome to buy me a truck to tow with. I'm not rich like a lot of people who seem to have a nice, fancy truck and a nice fancy f-body. There's no reason not to tow with the SS. The boat only weighs around 550 lbs with the motor so it's easily within the rating. And I already have 2 car loans(1 for the 70 SS396 and 1 for the 2000 SS) so I can't get a loan for a truck if I wanted to. Next to my old 91 454SS pickup, this car is actually the best tow vehicle I've had. But I will take donations towards the truck fund if you guys really want to toss something in.

i dont see why ppl have such a problem with you towing a boat 2-4 times a year.. its really not a big deal? why buy a beater truck to make only a few trips.. its not like the ss lacks any power to tow it...

thats kinda funny actually , theres a guy around here that had a trailor with his 400EX in it hooked up to his v6 camaro and he was pulling it around all night while everyone was hangin out , he was going like 70 pus on the highway. Kinda stupid but still funny at the same time. I wouldnt do it but then again im not gonna tell someone what they should or shouldnt do with their car.


ps- beautiful ss by the way , I like silver 10-spokes and the white looks awsome!

Shop teacher in high school had a T/A with a bike rack setup on the back. Gotta do what you gotta do, I'd laugh my *** off if I saw an SS towing a boat down the highway though

I hope you have sub-frames. My brother pulled his honda odyssey dune buggy with his 02 WS.6 and still drove it like he stole it. Do what ya gotta do man. Now I would love to see you pull the 2nd gen to the track with the SS, Haha
