smoked a tb SS !!!!!

okay guysss!!! this is not what i expected... but my friends friend has a trailblazer SS, full exhaust(catless), long tube headers, CAI, and tune. idk what else it had. and my 2010 cobalt SS (non G85)all it has is injen CAI and trifecta tune... we did a couple runs. i wish i recoreded it... i was by myself, he had 1 passenger(my friend). from a dig we are pretty much even, he is AWD so he pulls off the line a bit faster than me... but i stay about 3 car lengths behind him, but i dont go any farther back and after a while i was starting to creep back up and before i passed him we slowed down, (but i was catching up!! lmaoo) . and off a roll i smoke him easy.....!!! for the money i payed, and he paid... i am extremely pleased... also he is averaging 15 mpg, i am averaging 25 mpg... lol



~~~~~
EDIT

race was on a closed course

It's heavy' I can take my dads 6.2l Denali with my stock Balt... It's close though. SUVs need 400hp min' then they seem fast ish

I wouldn't brag too much. It's a 4700lb SUV. Quick for a SUV, but not blazing fast by any means.

i meann.... he even admitted if we went farther the first time, i would have caught up and passed him... we only went up to about 90 mph? i was still in third closing the gap between us... but yea your right i didnt smoke him... but i did beat him.

Yeah but he's rolling in a luxury people mover lol. TB/SS's can be nasty with a little time and effort.

Brb, buying a car that runs high 13's bone stock, modding it, then brag about beating an SUV that is slower.

Tell him to put in a stall converter and you won't even sniff him from a dig.

Was it AWD or RWD?

It's all about power to weight, too

Nice kill though!

A stock TB SS can hit upper mid 13s. Sure it's a big heavy suv but still a fast ride for what it is. Also @ 90 mph the actual distance covered wouldn't even be a quarter mile. But no surprise AWD pulled a FWD car off the line. A Cherokee SRT though is so much better than the TB SS though as far as sporty suv those things are fast.

I'm a die-hard chevy guy but those SRT Jeep's are sweet ..... they have the looks as well as the performance . The TB/SS was quite a bit cheaper IIRC... base model to base model...... but if your already spending 35K on a truck ........might as well spend 40 and get the total package .

The TB can be a killer when the mods are set on "kill" (I have one in my neighborhood who's a complete sleeper - somebody you'll never want to meet at a stop light). It sounds like what it should have been - beating him on a roll, but getting edged slightly from a dead stop. Good job!
