Well I bought a new ride. Yes, I know that the JGC SRT-8 is faster, but I got this one for $33,781 out the door (that's with tax and title), plus I want to be able to haul my boat. It's AWD, with every available option except the navigation system. It seems pretty quick for a SUV, especially out of the hole.

I like the wheels, but I think I'm going to remove some of the badging. I don't like the look of the little square "GM" emblems. Performance wise, I think I'll leave it stock...............for at least three or four days. I've been told that these wake up a little with a tune and a real exhaust (the single exhaust on this thing is a joke). I'll probably wait a little while before I go real big. I haven't decided if I'll go H/C/I or FI for my long term goal. Does anybody have any opinions of the Magnuson superchargers?

To be honest I like these much better that the JGC SRT8. I just think they look cleaner. Nice ride & great color choice :beer:

Get those stupid square GM badges off and it'll look great. Also, I'd suggest driving it for awhile before doing a tune, because many guys seem to destroy transmissions. Just warning you. I still like them better than the GC though.

Nice truck! My buddy at school just bought a black one, he took me for a ride and honestly I wasnt really impressed. I expected 400 horsepower to feel much more powerful. Still a sick truck none-the-less.:beer:

Truthfully, I like the Trailblazer SS. I'd rank the exterior as good, if not better than the Jeep SRT. The price is much more entertaining, as well. The only thing I don't like about the Trailblazer SS is the interior. I looked at one at the local show and thought the interior was too cheap for a $30,000+ vehicle. However, I find that generally speaking, all Chevrolets tend to have cheap looking interiors.

That said, if the interior ain't falling apart and doesn't rattle, I can deal with subpar material quality and layout for a good price and an exterior look that I'm comfortable with.

Love the color and the wheels. I'd say, "Good Deal!"

Very Nice! I'm sure Eddie (blades) can tell you how to wake it up if you're interested.
