Well me and the old lady are going to be having a lil sway here pretty quick and I think the GTO (6SPD 27K) might have to go


So we are thinking about a TBSS I have always liked them but never really got into them. So what i'm asking is what are the pros and cons about them ?

We are looking at a SS3 it's the AWD one i beileve navi and everything......

And we might be wanting to trade so if you are intrested let me know......


Thanks, Sway

 

We love ours, eventhough it is a tad smaller than the Tahoe. Throw a blower on there, and you still have your track fun!

 

I like everything about mine ...but the trannys are the most common failures

 

Pros for me (stock)
Faster than I thought (will beat a stock GT)
Comfortable
I have took it semi off road and through mud and it works great
Lots of room

Cons
MPG, I average 13

 

Gas mileage absolutely sucks. I got 12.4 mpg average over 36 months.

 

I bought a 06 AWD SS new and still love it even after 77k miles. Mpg does suck, but I get 14.7 mpg.

 

I've had mine for 2 weeks now love it, except the gas, 13.8mpg in a 2wd.
07+ has the 4L70 which is supposed to be better, mine is a 08 3SS.

 

If your worried about milege buy an escort not an SS... I love mine and I dont care what kinda milege I get, but the weakest part of these is the trans. and converter (1800 stall) put a CAI, 3200 stall, and a tune you'll be all set.. prob. 13.00 in the 1/4

 

All years (06-09) had the 4l70

 

I'm not worried about the MPG if I was all our vehicles wouldn't be V8's

I doubt we are going to mod it if we get one it's just going to be her daily but with a style ! LOL Thanks for the info tho !
