Got killed by a Trailblazer SS

No too sure on the stats of a Trailblazer SS and my truck is definately not for racing but decided to run the blazer. Big mistake. Off the jump I had him. I took about a car length on him them all of a sudden he was past me by a car length. We went about a half mile and in the end he had me by two and a half car lengths. I don't know much about the Trailblaser SS but he defiately schooled me.

They are faster than a stock titan, but a 2wd king cab with tow package will give them a good run.

Re: Got killed by a Trailblazer SS

All of the TBSS that I have seen at the track have been mid to low 14 sec rides. Buddy of mine has one (along with a Termi and a Lightning) and he clicks off low 14s at a steady pace.

Re: Got killed by a Trailblazer SS

TBSS has a 6.0L LS2 390HP 400TQ. They have an AWD and a 2WD model. The AWD model weighs 4506lbs and the 2WD model weighs 4316. EPA Estimated MPG 12/16. I've been thinking about trading in my truck on the 2WD TBSS. The only thing that has stopped me so far is finding one. None of the local dealers have them in stock.

Re: Got killed by a Trailblazer SS

yeah they are as fast as they are rare, at least around here anyway. i've only ever seen one around town and i know better than to mess with one of them. i remember seeing the video where one walked right by kingmade at the end and his truck is waaaay faster than mine.

I think there was a picture posted on here a while back of a TBSS launching at the track with the front wheels off the ground.

What? I didn't know they were that tough. I figured it was a soccer mom SUV. I was wrong.

Yeah, they're fast. Saw one last year at the track running 12's. Obviously it wasn't stock, but it don't take much.

If you got 'him' off the line, it's because he let you...

Yep does have some kind of forced induction, I believe it is turbo. I didn't mean to mislead anyone, stock TBSS won't leave with the wheel(s) up.

Here is a clip from youtube:

Re: Got killed by a Trailblazer SS

That's just insane. Another example of not judging a book by it's cover. Fooled me, total sleeper. Should have seen my face after I ran him. It was a smile with a little bit of WTF? Ok a lot of WTF!!!!

Re: Got killed by a Trailblazer SS

Yep, those are pretty quick stock, but if they get a tune and some headers, they can be into the low 13's easy. My buddy has one and my truck would just barely beat him by a truck when he was stock, but when he got his tune and headers, now he kills me by about 2 trucks. My truck will do a 13.9 with my mods, so I know he's much faster than me.
