Default Ordered My Next Daily Driver Today... TB SS...

I've thought these things were cool since I read about them in AutoWeek. Put my order in this morning. Got it in black, with all available options, less the Nav. system. Should look just like this one...




6.0 Liter LS2 Small Block V8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TrailBlazer SS redefines the sport in Sport Utility Vehicle with a Corvette–based 6.0 Liter LS2 small block V8. It generates 395 horsepower and 400 lb.–ft. of torque, getting you from zero to 60 in under six seconds.*

*Based on GM testing.

They are nice but yet again GM shoots itself in the foot with pricing a loaded SS will run about $42k and it's not even an EXT.

Sticker on the one I ordered would be around that... I paid $37,200.00. My dealer said he may be able to come up with some more incentives, but that was my worst case. For what the truck will do, I don't think that's too bad...

Damn. 1600 is steep for just a navvy. If it has onstar its almost as good. You can get an aftermarket for around 1k cant u
