Trailblazer SS beating!!!

[SVT32VDOHC]

In the Lightning yesterday with the AC on. TBSS comes up at 45MPH which is a weak spot in my L. We both hit it, and he pulled just a little. We make a turn around and get to a light!!!!! I now have the AC off, I hear him raise the RPM's a little so he can launch.....When the light turns green, we both come out hard....I was ahead right off the bat, and put 1/2 truck length by 20MPH.... by the time I let off at 65MPH, I had more than a truck length in between us!!!!

I was happy with the win, but very unimpressed with the TBSS. I like them a lot, but for a 6.0L 400HP truck, it didn't hold a candle to my truck.....I don't know if it was AWD, but he did not spin the tires at all. I had very little tire spin as I had to feather the gas twice.

nice kill

Nice kill!

Yeah, 45 isn't a good roll at all!

 

[SVT32VDOHC]

No, it really felt sluggish, I had the AC on, I think he did too....it was 97* at this time and his windows were up like mine....I like a 60MPH roll personally.

It's been hot as hell in the midwest so far this year. Mid 90's in early june is a bit abnormal.

My truck was running like a slug this weekend, temp was reading 99 ><

My wife has an awd TBSS. Stock they seem week in the TQ department off the line but they are decent from a high speed roll. He was reving it at the line because they have a big lag if you just stab the throttle from an idle. I think they would be aswome with a KB. The LS2 likes to rev for a somewhat large cube V8.

 

[SVT32VDOHC]

Yeah I have a 6.0L in our 05 Chevy2500HD that we use for delivery services. That thing is fast an it is an HD with a huge lift gate that weighs over 300lbs. Anyways, it does pul nicely in higer RPM's. What do the AWD's vs. RWD's run at the track??

 

[red-light]

i thought all the ss trailblazers were awd?

 

[ACSVT]

You can get them in 2wd version as well.

Don't under estimate that SS...he may put a few mods on it and that race could be the other way around. LSx motors respond to mods just as well as Lightnings.

The awd is about a tenth or two tenths slower than the 2wd only because of the extra weight. Those TBSS's with some bolt ons are very mean. There was one here in town running low 12's N/A with awd. very mean on the street. I have a couple friends that have them and they are nice sleeper.

Sweet man! I'd like to take a stab at one of those SUVs. Last race I had was against a 2007 Roush mustang. Too easy! haha

My wife took her 2WD TBSS to the track earlier this year-
13.79 @ 98.23 mph w/2.10
322.5whp & 330.2wtq
It's stock minus a car seat.

On a hot summer day I'd say a stock TBSS vs a stock L would be a good run.

similar results here, my wife's tbss rwd ran a [email protected] bone stock. Its not lightning fast but if they catch you sleeping your in for a surprise!! lol

I had a younger guy that looked to be my age in one yesturday along side of me in traffic rev at me when it came to a stand still at a light. Pisses me off we couldent get a couple runs in, traffic is horrible in Myrtle right now. Figures like the third race in over a year with the L never happend.

 

[SVT32VDOHC]

I hate when that happens......I always see TBSS's going the opposite direction, and they are always staring me down, finally I got one, and beat one!!! Next time I see one in the opposite direction, F-it, I am pulling a Uy and chasing them down and laying another beat down!!!! hahahaha

 

[miamijdm]

u better hope its stock!

 

[SVT32VDOHC]

u better hope its stock!

Not too worried about that, I see the same ones in roughly the same area....I'll come back with my Cobra or my Dad's GT500.....:fm::-D

 

[job1]

I ran a AWD from the dig, no contest for me, he had a bottle, I had all throttle

 

[CHIZ]

guy around here had one of the fastest street blazers in the country, until he blew it up.

Good Kill. :thumbsup:

Another guy here that owns both, our SS is awd. Stock Vs Stock the L wins hands down.
