I raced a stock one when I just had my flowmaster mufflers and was ahead until the end of 2nd gear when he started to gain on me.

They run low 14's which is good for a suv of it's size IMO. Has a 390hp/400tq ls2 in it. Dont handle as good as the Jeep SRT but rides better and has more room in it. Gets crappy mileage(15/16mpg hyw) but if your looking at it I'd say your not to concerned with that. No known recalls or problems though, but make sure to get the AWD one.

feels pretty fast for an suv that size....plus they can tow and the srt8 cherokee isn't set up for it cause of the center exit exhaust.

IIRC, I saw a vid of one with heads, cams and a TC run 11's or 12's. I'm leaning more toward high 11's, but I don't recall exactly

TB SS's are sweet. You can get them cheap too, at least around me.

My sister has a regular trail blazer and its a nice truck, add to that the SS looks nice, has I think 400hp, and awd its a nice package.

They are horrible on mileage though, I was looking at new ones and it was like 12 city 16 highway.

Absolutely gorgeous trucks... a friend just got an 07 white AWD.... as far as speed the damn thing feels quick as **** and the torque is felt great too.... but its really not as quick as i thought stock.... I took his down low by a car so and up top I still slowly pull..

beautiful for what it is though

They are nice but I like the Jeep SRT8 better. I looked into trading my GT in on one before I did my blower. They are comfy and pretty quick for what they are. There was just something about the Jeep I liked better though.

They are nice. Eat lots of gas though. A girl I worked with had one (AWD) and she said the best she could get was ~14mpg, highway.

They should have put their 6 speed automatic in them. I'm sure that 20+mpg on the highway could have been had.

I think it blows away the fake tie in the looks department...
