I raced a trailblazer ss

Hey guys the other night i was cruzing threw town and a trailblazer ss pulled up at the red light. I never expected my big heavy under powered truck could take it, but wth right lol. We took off and i pulled him pretty hard, he let off when i got about a truck and half on him. Is this norm of just a fluke. Im sure he was stock or i hope so. Im running a 2000 ex cab 5.3 z71, 33in tires, built 4l60e . Gears tru track, circle d 3000 stall, fairbanks valve body kit, nelson tune, cold air n exhahust pretty much all i got goin for me.

Doesn't sound right to me. They will run 13's in good air pretty much bone stock. Unless he was a 2wd and was spinning bad out of the hole he should have taken you...good kill.

I say fluke or he was just a regular guy not really racing.
Have a few friends that have had TBSS and they are pretty quick bone stock, throwing on some bolt ons puts them in the 12s.

The tuning with the TBSS is on the ragged edge of lean so I have seen stock TBSS go slower when a cai was added without proper tuning.

It's not a 5.3 it's a ls2 6.0 and can bet money he wanted you to make this post is all! Ill forward it to tbssowners.com kill threads and see his version of the story!

There's tune only Tbss's deep into the 13s 13.01 tune only record if not faster now.

So you know im not braggin on beating him, i never raced one, so i dont know how they run. I dont run around talkin bout what im gonna do or not to my truck. I have a NOS kit sitting here im prob never going to put on my truck, i drive it everyday. If your bord go bash your truck. I never claimed mine was fast, hell its almost 7000lbs. It did run a 17sec 1/4 in evadale when i got it 4 years ago. Its ok for what it is it can take a titan but not nuff to brag bout. My truck is a truck. Nothing less nothing more.

Ill run you in my saab, I need a baseline anyway! ill even leave the carseat and groceries in the back!

It is what it is. I'm in Mississippi and no where near Tyler tough guy!

And far from 7000 lbs unless you have 2k lbs worth of junk in the bed of your truck. That's a fact! Your thinking load capacity not the trucks actual weight. Your right there up with the tbss. They are huge bricks!

2500s curb weight is 5500lbs that's 14 bolt and all!

And as far as my truck it's slow lol didnt claim it's fast but red truck and Saab both were quick and never felt the need to waste my gas on a 4door on stock alloys.

Dam come on guys he wasn't running his mouth about out running a tbss, just stating his experience. I don't see the need for the pissing contest or why any should be upset over this?

To the OP...whether is was a fluke or not, at least you tried and had fun doin it. That's all that matters. The only thing around here for me to race is rice burners :(

Come on now I know for a fact tbss guys got bigger fish to fry then stock trucks, crew cabs at that. Maybe they have changed their goals in two yrs since I sold the Saab.

The tbss guy may have just been playing around, who knows. I would have tried to jump on something faster than me in a heartbeat just like Bootlife did, just for the thrill of the race. I don't have to win to get my rocks off :)

I just offered the race to see what is up. The TBSS is a fat pig and def not the fastest thing on the road. I've lost before and not trying to prove anything. Let's make some runs and see what happens. Like I said it is all stock no mods tune weight reduction anything. Let's have fun at SAR for the shootout.

That's what I'm talking about, some good old fashioned fun.

That night at KB's had jeff hooked he was bound to end up with a tabs sooner or later lol! He has the biggest sh!t eating grin doing some pulls in the Saab.

That blue jeff is my favorite of all the colors offered! Hey I got a spare set of stock coil springs for the front if you want them. I had 80k on the Saab when I took them out for the drop coils. Pm me ill split shipping with you. Maybe you can mod them for a 1-2" drop and level the back! Just use a good strut... Pm me or txt me if you want them I don't want anything but splitting the shipping. Think I have a spare wheel too with stock spare sized 17. Let me double check on that!!!

just because someone with a TBSS ran 13.0 on a tune,on a track, doesnt mean they all will on the street. i have watched a procharged c6 built by a local shop that made 650's rwhp get beat horribly by my friends bolt on 4.6 mustang with a 125 shot and drag radials due to traction and driver. no reason a 4wd stalled truck couldnt pull him out of the hole and someone get butt hurt and let off. It tickles me when egos get stirred up and people make excuses for some guy because its "impossible", the street is the great equalizer, for the times when $7000 trucks race $40,000 performance vehicles
