It's about that time I get a new vehicle and I'm interested in either a trailblazer SS or Cts-v. I need some input on these two vehicle to make my final decision. The only down side I see to the trailblazer is the gas mileage. I am looking for something under 20k with decent mileage. If you all know of anything out there could you send me info.
Thanks, Jerry.

Are u looking for a family hauler? either or i would go with the TBSS. Get it in AWD. Are u going to be modding it? Also depends if u want auto(TBSS) or stick(CTS-V)

Does the awd get the same gas mileage as the 2wd? I plan on putting mild mods like exhaust on cai. It's also been like 5 yrs since I drove stick.

awd usually does get less MPG...more weight. Its nice to have but either way is good on those SUV's. Id say AWD if u were planning on big power like forced induction/nitrous. On that SUV with a tune and bolt ons, i would say around 20-22mpg highway if ur lucky with the 2wd and a bit less with the awd. The CTS-V is only stick so its up to u.

TBSS honestly

He stated:

Compare the prices of an 04-05 CTS-V with the prices of an 08-09 G8 GT with "decent mileage". With 40k miles or so, they are priced right about the same. $21-$22k

I thought about a G8 but I'm not a big fan of that body style.

thats why i said to get the TBSS...they can be had for cheap. Around here, u can get a CTSV for under 20 with good miles.(40-60k) but its really rare.

Not a fan of the TBSS. Too heavy, shitty mileage and slow.

If you like the Chevy interior of the 90's then get the TBSS. Personally I wouldn't get either the TBSS or the CTS-V. But your price range is limited.

Realistic mileage out of a bolt on tbss is going to be mid teens on the highway. Best I've seen people report is upper teens in a 2wd on the highway driving slow. They're gas hogs but with some decent mods they can get up and run and have a decent amount of room.

Really depends on how much you're going to drive it. The G8s get mid to high 20s with bolt ons. That will probably be my wifes next car. They drive good, 12s with a tune, plenty of room and get decent mileage.

The Vs are nice but overpriced for how old they're getting imo.

Yea that guy....yea if ur interested i can make u a hell of a deal! Some on the site can vouch for it. Thanks Dave_the_SS

I actually wanted a vette but I don't feel like paying vette insurance. Ive had my z for 5 years now and just feel like getting something new. I seen that cobra but I'm more of a GM guy.
