But a cool one. Its an 08 Trailblazer SS. Its got the 6.0 vette motor and hauls ass. I just but a magnaflow exhaust on and it sounds great.
:disappoin
1 white face gauge?? Wassup with that?? No engine pics?!?
I......forgive........you............:rollin:
Bad ass truck. They hall ass.
I spent all day in a trailblazer yesterday. It was...okay, the lack of power was rather annoying. I'll bet the SS is a little more fun in the get-up-'n-go area.
The one we drove was mushy, plasticy, seats sucked, but it was roomy for 2 adults, and 2 kids, plus our mini-vacation gear.
It actually rode decently, but I felt like it needed a little firmer, better road feel. What's the reliability factor on them?
And what's with those gold colored openings in the lower valance? definitely does not fit in with the overall scheme lol
And what's with those gold colored openings in the lower valance?
It means DO NOT MESS WITH THIS TRUCK. Or you will be very familiar with it's TAIL LIGHTS!!!
Has a factory rating of 390 hp and 395 lb-ft of Torque
With a tune and cam swap they make tuns of HP
I have my eye on one as we speak. Trannys do not hold up very well
yeah, the gold trim WAS chrome...I will be putting that back ASAP. The suspension is different than the stockers. These were tuned on the nurenburg ring...slightly lowered, sport tuned, etc. I rides fantastic, I took it up this Mountain called Jebel Hafeet in the UAE. I made a py phone vid of it, a bit long, but it was fun.....

Did I mention the vette motor? :punchballs:
YES LS2 motor. Us chevy guys know them very well.
Same motor as the 2005-2007 VETTE. (very slight differences)
Good luck with your "TBSS"
US chevy guys call it a TBSS
Great car!
I love those!
Although, I myself would rather buy the Pontiac G8. Furious sedan! Absolutley love the G8! :D
But the TBSS is definetly a fast soccermom car ;)
I actually like those TBSS's. I let the wife see the pics of it. She liked it as well except for.......the gold. All she said about that was "EWWWW Why Gold?? There's nothing that the gold ties into!"
Makes me want to rebuild the 5.0 in my Mounty, slap on a Procharger, and go beat one up with ease.. :D
NOT IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS. That truck stock runs High thirteens 100% stock and if it is all wheel drive your do not have a chance!!! just me could be wrong!!!!
Fascinating how ford engines need PRESSURE to beat a NA CHEVY. Things never change. just saying!!!
OMG NOW I HAVE DUN IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how a chevy guy compares a newer engine to an older engine design........:punchballs:
I did not compare then someone else did. The LS has been out for years. Ford always needs wind to make HP This is a fact. Other than the new Ford engines that ROCK.
2800 bucks
We recently sampled SLP Performance's TrailBlazer SS 440 PerformancePac. Its name, as you would imagine, refers to the 440-horse power rating. The ingredients include a low-restriction air filter, a set of 1.85-ratio rocker arms (stock is 1.70); a lower-temperature, 160-degree thermostat, and a stainless PowerFlo exhaust. Also included is a DiabloSport handheld tuner with SLP's custom tune.
What can i say my friends and i build CHEVYS. But SLP was just bought out by ROUSH. So mustangs will be flowing out of there doors

seen some at the track before they can be fast!
Is it AWD??? My good racer friend has one for a daily driver...AWD...nice ride. The 4L70E is just a beefed up 4L60E...so 4500lb of truck and 400HP can destroy them. It went 14.4 bone stock with 101k on it.
Travis
this ones a 2wd, which is cool with me, as I dont want to go blowing up trannies. I promise to get rid of the gold inlets!
OK 2 wheel drive did not know that. Still a BAD ASS TRUCK that can run high thirteens.
Mr. Tom
Agreed...its a sweet ride....kinda reminds me of a bigger and more reliable Typhoon.
Travis
lmao. maybe off the line but my high 14 sec focus svt can hold one off on the highway ok. My little na 4.6 mustang will walk one of those fat pigs no prob consistently as well.
yeah, my buddies 741hp procharged (only)2012 boss 302 and my others 2013 kb 800+ hp gt500 is just shameful and embarrassing. and I thought my little NA mustang was doing ok beating up un my uncles factory 01 shiznitbox vette.
Right !!!!!!!!!
Those TBSS' are fast but I'd lean towards a Srt8 Jeep myself. Ford needs to step up and make a 500hp+ Explorer, "EXPLORER SVT" now that would be awesome (yeah the Raptor is kinda it but it's a truck)
YEP THOSE JEEPS ARE FAST. Ask me how i KNOW!!!

Here we go..another g contest.
But yeah, if I took my mountaineer, with a good stock Explorer 5.0, threw in an HO cam, and slapped a procharger on it, I KNOW it would smoke one of those tbss.
Less weight, awd, and good gearing. not saying your macho suv isn't fast, but it IS a fat sumbitch. You can't deny what a 5.0 with some positive air pressure can do...or else you wouldn't be here in the first place....unless you get off on baiting threads exactly like this.
And I don't give a about that jeep abortion...yeah, anything should be fast with 500 horsepower, but it's like a Glock pistol...it's ugly. Don't know why they have mass appeal.
Exploder SVT....hmm
Travis
It's an SUV for crissakes, of COURSE its going to have some weight to it. I got it cuz it's cool, quick and you dont see one everyday, same reason I have a tbird instead of a Mustang. And comparing a Focus to a TBSS is rather foolish, dontcha think?
I was of course comparing my...umm..SUV to..another SUV. ;)
Of course, if a car can beat an SUV with half the engine and only a third less weight, well, that's cool too.
Of course you were...lol.
Now you want kool then get ford to put a gt 40 motor in a explorer.
Speaking of which...my boy has a v1 vortec I am saving up for!
Enjoy the truck it is a bad ASS RIDE. GOOD LUCK WITH IT.
The SRT is very cool but some will say the 11 MPG Average is a bit much.
Nice ride 24 the truck is beautiful.
Thx Tom. I am looking at that 440 kit you mentioned. Gas is only @$2 a gallon here so no one gives a about mileage LOL
2 bucks a gallon. Where do you live????
Im in the UAE.
I saw a TBSS running high 12's at the drag strip. I don't know what his setup was, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was just basic bolt-ons with a tune.
Bryan basic bolt ons are all that is needed with LS based engines to get extremely HIGH HP. The engine just flows so good it is beyond imagination!!
goodness lol. you are certainly entertaining!
