you can get RWD or AWD.

when i worked at a chevy dealer we'd get into fight about who would get to prep SS models.


SS Impala's do awesome burnouts.

SS Cobalts are pretty peppy.

AWD SS Trailblazers launch like hell.

 

[DopePope]

Aren't they 4wd?

Dope, I don't think you want to go off roading with low profile 20's

lol yes i figured but people can change rim/tire combos

When PDIs can be fun.

The worst thing for me is when I drive my coworkers TBSS (bolt ons) then drive my brothers V6 TB. I fall asleep.

I love the TCS on/off switch on the SS, fun SUVs.

i just like launching the SS AWD Trailblazer, on the clock, behind the wal mart, with no one watching my back...:laugh:

Geez. I need to hurry and get my TBSS turbocharged. Bought the turbo and everything, it's just sitting there waiting. Guess I have to pony up and get the tranny built and everything else.

Will need a little more then that to keep up with something like whats in the video. That one has a built 427 ci motor, full heads/cam/trans/etc. I'm not sure what that one dyno'd, but to push 5,000 lbs to 130 mph in the 1/4, it has to be making around 850 flywheel hp if not more.

My cousin has a grand prix GXP. He let me borrow it one day, and well, let's just say i took about 10k miles off his tires!!!

car is a beast...torque steer is kinda scary until you get used to it though. car really needs to be RWD!

 

[TheMexicanJob]

yea, it does sweet burnouts, but obviously can't launch, must be moving at a decent speed to not break the tires loose, and yes, the fwd thing is retarded, they needed rwd badly.

Oh, no question about that. I'm not planning to do all that much modding with respect to my TBSS. I just bought it to trailer my duratec powered car to the track, and to take my dogs to the dog park. It's just the stock power to weight ratio sucks, and could use a bit more go.
