I like the chrome factory wheels, I don't think I'll change 'em. Now time to get some bolt ons and a tune ans hopefully see some 12's. It feels like a solid high 13 second truck right now, it came with a Corsa cat-back.

 

Sorry never drove a TBSS but owned a trailblazer. Drove my brothers SRT8 300 several times and as much as I am a GM guy if they where the same price I'd take the SRT8. So much more for your money. IMHO. Brembos? Handling? No SUV Stock to Stock can handle like a performance car.

Sharp SS though. Black is awesome on those. Someone in evansville drives one stock looks Bad as can be.

Agree on those wheels i had them on my TrailBlazer. THat one thing made the vehicle.

 

SRT8 Sedans and TBSS aren't in the same category really. And they're consistenltly more expensive. I was only considering the magnum for space, 300C and Charger can't give me the space of the TBSS. The wheels/brakes on the Magnum did suit my eye, but in turn the Magnum would probably be more expensive to maintain and own.

 

only if he has those stick on imitation buick portholes ... or those ridiculous 12" rims that stick 5 inches out from the wheel wells

simply the irony of going for looks with something that was meant as function

 

Let me know what kind of gas mileage you pull down on that bad boy. I heard they can be a little thirsty, not that the LS4 is an economy champ.

 

18mpg on th first tank. 200 of it washighway. I'm thinking I'm going to average 15-16, where I averaged 18ish in the impala.

 

Slap a supercharger in it, and it looks like this:

He is hoping to push it into the 11's next season. Weak link being the transmission. The engine can make plenty more power but they have to dial back the boost so it doesn't lunch it's guts all over the place.

 

Really? The south? According to your location you wouldn't know anything about it. I live in the south with a beaner majority. Hell im a beaner myself, but its not seen that often here, and when I do the race varies. Soo... sorry jesus, but ends up looking like an ignorant remark. I agree its ugly and pointless but tacking to a specific race is... Well, pretty ignorant.

 

Nice Trailblazer. As far as stick on scoops, that one isn't bad. Way better than the lund scoops that every jacked up, mid 90's z71 has around here!

The SS decals are horrendous!!!

 

hey red06ss - slap some twis on her and she'll look like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjWwHPHxfi0

 

wow that thing is sick

 

i will take two please and some new underwear

 

I totally dig this.

 

+1 for removing both decals and hood scoop. That's ultimate rice for sure! Otherwise, very nice truck and congrats on the purchase! Just have fun with the gas mileage

 

The Magnums are sweet. Primarily because there is not as many of them around. We are loaded with 300c SRT8s around here it seams.

Yes your trailbazer will cost a lot less to own. Overall. Although seams to be about the same as my GXP....Comparing to what my brother paid for tires and brakes on his.

There is a Brembo kit if you want to fill those front wheels a little :-).

Enjoy it!

 

Well ****, the hood scoop is ******* bolted on. I removed the nasty stickers, moved onto the scoop.Looked under the hood liner, and found nuts holding the damn thing on.

If I can't find someone to trade hoods, I'm going to have to take it off and plug the holes lol

 

See if there's a carbon or fiberglass one available. Then you could lose a few lbs up front in the process.

 

There's a really clean fibergalss and CFhood. Can't pony up a grand for it though!

 

You could get some nice stainless round top bolts. Give you some bling... :-)

That sucks though because black is actually hard to match it seams and I cant beleive someone spent good money on a very good vehicle just to mutilate it. good luck!
