Its just an ole' regular inline 6 trailblazer. But i stillb beat his *** in it. lol I ran away from him especially from 60+.
I find that hard to believe. Not that your lying, but the other person must not know how to drive. I had an 03 5.3 Silverado reg cab 2wd before I had the stang. I would absolutely mop the floor with a trailblazer (not an SS).

One time (at band camp) I had to take my truck in to get fixed and was given a regular 6cyl trailblazer as a loaner. That thing was so f'n slow even my wife commented on it! Seriously that had to be one of the slowest vehicles I've ever driven~!

Stock I ran a 15.4 in the 1/4 mile in my truck. There is no way that SUV ran faster than that!

Then again you did say it was a Z71 you raced. Z71's are heavier being 4wd and all. Still a longshot if you ask me.

With all this talk of fast trucks, remember the original Hot Rod SUV, the GMC Typhoon from the early 1990s? 4.3 V6, turbocharged and intercooled, AWD, 0-60 in 5.3 stock, many guys are way faster with simple mods. Of course who could forget it's pick-up cousin the Syclone, it was even faster. They were about as aerodynamic as a brick, but would hand you your *** from a dig in a street light race.

Sorry for being slightly off topic, but these old trucks deserve a mention. Ok, carry on....
I know this topic is a mouldy old fossil but, nice post. I remember those things like it was yesterday. They were (and are if you can find one!) baddass machines. Same goes for the 1990 Anniversary Turbo T/A. All those rides with that turbo 6 were ferocious and with what we call simple bolt-on's they were supercar killers 0-100mph and would rape the Cayenne TT, TB SS, and Hemi Jeep. That is neither here no there, all I know is that I would give an SS TB driver a ride in my notch, win, lose, or draw. The fight is the juice for me...

It must suck to get 12 MPG though. If your at the track you could probably watch your needle drop.
