TrailBlazer SS numbers

[Northstar]

I got my new C&D today, and they had a little write up on the TB SS. 0-60 in 5.4s 1/4 mile in 13.9s .80g on the skidpad To put that into perspective, the 04 GTO did 0-60 in 5.3s with a 6-speed manual (TB SS has a 4-speed auto).

not bad at all... just glad I don't have to worry too much if one pulls up next to me!

Does GM have a plan to put DOD on LS2 V8?

[Northstar]

I'm guessing the LS2 will get DOD or some other fuel-saving technology sometime, but I haven't heard for sure whether it will get it.

That's pretty fast. Those are terrific numbers, and it significantly undercuts the GC HEmi, which is great.

[Guest Josh]

I wonder if that's AWD or FWD.

Not to mention the Trailblazer SS has a less-ugly exterior.

[Nick]

worse I think...I believe the Typhoon 0-60 was like 4.8 or something like that and the syclone was 4.6 or somethin like that...as far as quarter mile times are concerned I'm not sure...

[Achelous]

What else is in that C&D?

[jbartley]

That was FWD. http://www.cheersandgears.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/AH-HA_wink.gif

Yeah a blue on would be nice. Maybe when gas prices go down a bit.

[GBass]

Are these numbers better or worse than a GMC Typhoon?

[post="8581"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]

Better

[BuddyP]

better than GMC Typhoon but just a tad slower than GMC Syclone.

what he meant was all or fun wheel drive....

[FUTURE_OF_GM]

So how was the write-off... err.. I mean write up?

[Northstar]

They actually seemed to like it pretty well, and didn't say a whole lot of bad things about it. They said "this is the SUV the 9-7x should have been."

maybe I should get that instead of a sportscar next time a buy a car.

[Sixty8panther]

Fun Wheel Drive... yes I guess you could call RWD fun wheel drive.

I just joined the forum, I own a custom 98 vette and just ordered a TB SS in blue, 4WD with all the "toys" it is due at the end of Oct, my dealer told me Chevy just accepted dealer orders on Sept 30. As soon as mine comes in, I will post some pics and numbers
