Default Ran an SS Trailblazer

So I was on my may to work tonight and this SS Trailblazer was on my tail for about a mile. We got to a point on the road where it opened up to two lanes and I pull along side of him. We were doing about 40 when I heard him rev up and off we went. We were bumper to bumper until about a 100 and I let off. I figured if he had not pulled ahead by that time why keep pushing it. Not a win and not a lose, but a good run. I thought for sure he would have taken me to the cleaners.

Good run. TBSSs are badass imo. They respond to mods nicely.

If you went any further you probably would have taken the lead just because of aero. Those have an ls1 in them though right? Dunno which way that would have gone, but pretty sure not even

LS2 and 4.10 gear stock. They run low 14s to 14 flat and trap right around 100 mph. Pretty stout for such a big vehicle.

Yea man, thought I would cut back on the out-going funds every month a bit and thin the herd a bit.

Its a fun car, pretty quick for what it is. So far, it has responded really well to the mods I have thrown at it. Its no Mach 1 though, lol. I'm missing the Mach something terrible, I'm not even kidding man.

Yeah, I have an SS Silverado parked in my garage and I know the stang would eat it up even with the 6.0L. The thing is a heavy pig, but the TBSS are much quicker and with the stock 4.10's they really get up and go.

TBSS's are land destroyers... they do tow boats well though
