why the name change?

 

Too many dudez calling me damien in person.

So because I can't keep up with a vehicle that does 12.6 from a dig makes my car slow?

Yours must be ungodly fast.

 

dude there are stock, or very very close to stock TBSS trapping that. if you dont mind me asking what are you regularly running in the 1/8 et and mph. what were you running stock?

 

stock i think it was 9.1 @ 80. Now its 8.5 @ 87

 

I don't like Dodge, I'm GM through and through, not to mention that I am driving a 5K pound SUV that managed a 13.53 at 102mph bone stock...I should have known that there would be people coming into this thread to ruin it for others. All I wanted to do, was to show ya'll the potential of a heavy ass GM AMERICAN MADE SUV, stock that is. This isn't me bragging, this isn't me trying to start ****, I was just posting up how well these do at the track and to show that they are underestimated almost as much as the Cobalts are.

Oh, and lsjwannabe...You don't even know Tony, how you gonna call him a dick?? I PERSONALLY know him and know that he's good peeps. He voiced his opinion, showed some love towards my times and my move to the TBSS and that was that.

Laloosh, you would be surprised how well this thing actually handles. I never said that it could out handle your ride nor any Vettes. Damn, how did my thread go from me getting congrats on the good times, to people bashing because I have a 5 thousand pound SUV with 20" wheels running 13.5's with no mods what so ever??

 

wow nice man. my dad drives an awd tbss and damn does that thing put you into the seat haha. i can only imagine what it would be like with a blower on it

 

my comments were directed at whoever said "lets see a fwd car hit a 1.7 60..."
im not here to give you any ****. I am however curious as to what made you go with the ss over the srt jeep?

 

hes GM through and through for one, it is a way more practical DD than the GC, its cheaper,and you cant argue with the LS(X) aftermarket. any more questions?

 

cheaper? Not by much. Aftermarket bette ron the ss? Im not sure about that. SS better DD? once again why?

 

a tbss can be had for under $30,000. do you even have an idea of the support behind the ls2 community? ss can tow ****, can be taken offroad, etc.

 

do you have any idea about the srt aftermarket? Tow ****? no it cant' but i dont really car about towing or offroading. If i were to buy a car liek that all i would care about would be family and winter. I don't know too much about either truck, but from basic reading i have found the srt to be faster....I could be wrong

 

SRT stock for stock is faster. Pricewise, the TBSS is much cheaper (fully loaded TBSS can be gotten for $37-38K, SRT more like $44K). TBSS is more of a DD due to what was said above by hatrickstu. Aftermarket support for the TBSS is pretty big and growing each day, unlike the SRT. The SRT also is not "tuning" friendly from what I hear compared to the TBSS.

 

are you kidding, we have towed my cobalt on a trailor numerous times. you CAN NOT tow in the GC, or take it off road

 

oki, i guess i was off. I always though the srt8 was a better (read faster) platform

was talking about the srt8

 

Actually there is tuning available for the all the SRT's, SCT cracked it not to long ago

 

Man i wish i didnt get the AWD i know its slower. I have had it almost 2 years and still hadnt made it to a track with it. Durn.
Good run man i just have seen this post lol.

 

get that sucker to the track, the truck will hate you if you dont

 

Those are some great numbers. Time for a STS turbo kit.

 

i respect what the trailblazer is and what most of the communtiy does not someone who owns a stalled auto and calls out any fwd cobalt to pull a 1.76 60 ft. He is a dick, you know what i did when i ******* raped a tbss pulled over, talked to the guy he was cool as hell i posted it a few people called bs he chimed in a let them know what happend. He is a vendor over there and makes cai's, you may know him as IEATSRT8's. And that was a long time ago. Do i have respect for him, hell yes.do i have respect for tony hell no plain and simple he is a dick.

 

and just in case...before the head bashing starts, my only problem with the cobalts "is" that they're FWD.. i had a FWD car (GP GXP that ran 13.6 bone stock) and gave up after extensive research into how difficult they are to make fast and still be driven around running anywhere near the times they run all slicked up... for example my truck ran 12.6 on the stock 20's with a 1.76 60'... try doing that on stock tires in ANY FWD car...

All he said, was for anyone to try to run a 1.76 60' on stock tires in any FWD car. He wasn't calling the Cobalt any bad names, nor was he bashing anyone in particular. If you read in bold, you will notice that he did own a FWD vehicle and AFTER extensive research he found that it was too much of a pain to try to make it fast and still be a good daily driver and run anywhere close to the track times on the street without slicks. Not sure where you get that he is a dick from him challenging anyone to try to get a 1.76 60' on stock tires. I am more then sure that if someone were to manage that feat, he would give due props.

Yeah, I know of the guy that you are talking about. He has his own brand of CAI that he is selling for the TBSS's as well as some other products. Seems like a cool cat.

 

Theres no need in the bashing its foolish.
Congrads again on your run.
Ohhh and my truck hatting me if i dont get it to the track... tooo late lol i think it allready does.

 

ill trade ya my cobalt ss for your TBSS if it hates you that much haha

 

Wow this thread is ridiculous. Everything mentioned is an apples to oranges comparison...Howabout we generalize this whole thread and focus on what the subject is about and the forum room it's posted in:

Drag Racing

 

Thank you Tofu..By the way, how's the truck treatin ya??

 

How the hell did we got frome "Stock TBSS running awesome stock times" to "TBSS isnt that impressive, if the cobalt had traction it would rape the TBSS"? This makes no sense, the TBSS is an awesome SUV, no if an or buts about it, end of story.

Nice times and I wish my bro would take his to the track :/
