Damn TB SS looked so good, I had to buy one
One the way into the dealership to buy a new Chevy W/T work truck, they had a beautiful Trailblazer SS sitting out front.. I remembered reading about these when they were just a concept and new nothing about them really.. After talking to the dealer about it, They enlightened me aout the fact that they had the LS2 in it.. Right then I told my girlfriend we're taking the truck money and buying the SS.. It didnt even take a test drive for me to buy it. Anyways, since yesterday we have put about 200 miles on it, and it is a sweet as little SUV.. We've already chalked up a few kills versus some LT1s and LS1s as well as every ricer.. I have a few plans in the near future to do a head/cam swap as well as some headers (which I hear Stainless Works might be the first).. So far the only exhaust I have been able to find is buy MagnaFlow, and I wasnt too impressed with the sound clip they had on their website, so I may have to fab up my own.. I also plan on doin an airbag suspension (or trying to do something with the system already in it). I will post some pics of it later tonite when I get home.. This thing is just too sweet to pass up.. Haf the price of a Vette and way cheaper than a GTO with comparable performance..

Here are some pics.. If I remember correctly, the MSRP on this was about $34k. After the Red Tag event price of $29k, we had another $1000 off coupon, so the price came out to about $28,1xx.. I think the GTO's right now are base model $34k, right? And I dont think they qualify for the Red Tag prices.. This one wasnt fully loaded though, only the 2wd version, cloth seats, power driver seat, Xm, Onstar, Sunroof, air compressor, and some other little stuff....
