Default Trailblazer SS vs. Camaro LOL

Ok, i was at the track last week, and it was freezing, and while i was getting hot chocolate, i see a suv and a black camaro pull up to the staging lanes, turns out its a trailblazer SS with the sticker still on it, i snapped a pic, ran a high 13! Can't believe they're out racing these things already! sorry for the shitty quality, it was so cold, my hands were shaking and it was impossible to get a clear shot.

i know of a tb ss running 13.3's already

the magZInes only tested the awd version but the 2wd are actually faster.

I haven't had the pleasure of driving one yet. I'm sure their badass trucks.
Slap a T-76 on there.

Are those "dubs" on the TB.
Pretty cool if it's running 13's.

I'm pretty sure the stockers are 20's though so technically they are "dubs"...unless I'm wrong and they're 19's.

Theres already 1 SS with a tune, K&N dropin, and torque converter that ran a 12.6 and a 12.1 with a 75shot. There are several of them running low 13's with just a tune and 1 ran a 13.48 with just a K&N dropin.

Yes they have 20's from the factory.

Have yet to see an SRT-8 run faster than a 13.2.

Can't wait to ack mine to the track! Still trying to convince the wife it needs to go since its technically "hers"!

once those SRT8's start the mods, they will be hard to beat though.

i'm sure they are quick...but could they have perhaps added something other that "SS" onto the end of it? seems out of place to me

Wow thats awesome and those TB SS's are so sick. I love the looks of them. Plus its got a healthy ls2 to mod! Id love to hear one with a big cam, lt's, and true duals loping heavily at a street light. Havent seen an srt-8 jeep out on the road yet but they look pretty damn sweet too.
