I knew better, but did it anyway!

First encounter with the new Chevy Trailblazer SS. My friend just picked it up over the weekend. It is a used one with like 4K on the odometer. I read the compro in Car and Driver about 6 months ago, and the Trailerbalzer SS lost to, but was able to keep up with the Grand Cherokee SRT-8, so I knew I was in trouble.

We ran twice, 0-60, and a roll on at 40mph, and it wasn't never even a contest. I know this wasn't an "apple to apple" comparison, but those SS's are FAST!

The 0-60, he had at least 3 maybe even 4 lenghts on me, and the roll on was a joke. I even got on the throttle quicker than him, and he showed me his tail lights pretty quick.

But it was still fun, but beware.

If you have no mods on your truck then I can see it. I would like to hear how say a Titan with intake/exhaust/headers/chip does againest one. Marksalive?

Pokoki · 11-10-2006, 07:24 AM

My truck is decently modded: intake, exhaust, and tru track. The stealership here in Des Moines will not do the 2 degree timing advance for me.

I beleive the SS is rated at 395, 400 ft lbs HP and all wheel drive. Motor Trend has it hitting 0-60 in 5.8 sec.

Think you need a s/c to beat it.

Helinut1970 · 11-10-2006, 09:32 AM

S/C or nitro will beat it I would bet. And maybe if Stillen get the chip out that could at least hang with it.

I went to the dyno the same day someone dyno'd their SS.

The supercharged Titan will beat it. This one did not have a speed limiter.

Im not real sure about any Titan beating a Trailblazer SS, not even juiced. My mother drives one with a 6.0 vette motor with the suspension and wheel package. She can get the groceries in a hurry and look good doing it.

How could you loose to a chevy. I'm going to be depressed all day now.

AgTitan06 · 11-12-2006, 08:27 AM

lol. I didn't realize they were that fast. I just assumed it would be slow like the Silverado SS. We can beat those right?

BRACEYOSELF777 · 11-12-2006, 03:45 PM

We can beat the SS with no tuning done to it...but if they touched that computer....its game over.

badblackhemi · 11-12-2006, 08:52 PM

a stock TBSS will run a low 14 sec. 1/4 mile, so we all new what the outcome would be, BUT that means that RB's Titan or tomnymods truck would beat a stock one, so a modded titan with spray can beat one!!

stock for stock from a dead stop? you wouldn't win against an SSS.

my coach had a stock SS when mine was stock. i could beat him by about a truck length up to 100. never tried it from a roll, but knowing my truck, from about a 20-25mph roll it would have been closer to 1 1/2 to 2 lengths by 100.
