So my wife has a 07 Trailblazer SS all stock and she thinks her ride will beat my 07 Cobalt SS/SC with a stage II and GMPP exhaust and air box mod.Just want to get some opinions on this and see what other think.I drive both of them and think my car would beat her TBSS.Let me know what you think Hope this in the correct section

 

have fun if its from a dig.. ur n for a treat... my suggestion is build up the ss sc and keep the trailblazer for hauling ur ss sc to the track

but who says u cant run the trailblazer a few times while ur there too.. lol

 

We have a TrailBlazer SS and I think it would keep up with my balt with 2.8 and 60lbs

 

Hmm I'd be willing to bet that your Trail Blazer SS would still beat your Stage II SS/SC. They are fast especially from a dig with the 4X4... From a roll maybe.

My SS/SC is stock, lease so that's why... But yeah I can't touch the Trail Blazer SS and the owners around here know it...

Now the SS/TC should be able to win against a stock Trail Blazer SS. Even from a dig. Or it'd be close. I plan on finding out when I get one...

 

I dont know, I think a STAGE II can take it........

weight wize from a roll u should take it..from a dig not sure then again she's ur wife ...she might let you win lol

 

With those 1/4 mile times I would beat it by a second depending on launch

 

A Stage II SS/SC doesn't do 0-60 in 5.8 seconds... Which is why I said from a dig the Trailblazer SS would probably win.

However in the 1/4 the SS/SC would win so I would predict from a dig the TSS would probably get a good jump, but the SS/SC would probably catch up and over-take it... Only one way to find out...

 

I know with my wife driving I will smoke her.She does like 45 tops.Her TBSS just doesn't seem that fast to me when I drive it.

 

thats because yours is a 5 speed and hers is an auto, 5 speeds feel faster

 

dont trailblazer ss' run like mid-high 13's stock?

 

from a dig she will beat you hands down, from a roll she will hold you off til about 100. you better talk her into a 45 or higher roll or you will be sad of the out come. my brother has one we tested it at every speed against various cars.

 

a stock one does it in 5.7

 

trailblazer ss runs more like mid 13

A stock SS/SC Stage II does 0-60 in 5.7? According to who?

 

I think he either meant a stock SS T/C or a Stage 2 with nothing else done to it. I can't speak to that though, I'm happy to get 6.7 0-60 up here in the stratosphere (damn altitude).

Those TBSS's are 100+ MPH cars in the 1/4 IIRC, so I don't know about a dig, but the last time I went from around 30 in second with one, I had him by a door at the top of third.

LS-series engines in a Blazer though, glad they thought of that.

 

Yeah I guess a Stage II SS/SC could do 0-60 in 5.7. Seeing that it makes around the same WHP as a stock SS/TC. Still seems a little low to me. I have no say either really cause I'm completely stock.

IDK, I thought Stage II SS/SC's were fast until my buddy who has a Jetta GLI 1.8T who when we ran against eachother stock I used to beat, put a chip, turbo-back, turbo-inlet, deriverter valve & CAI ran against a modded Stage II SS/SC and pulled on him by like a car and a half...

But he's making like 260 wheel torque, which might explain why he was pulling on the Stage II SS/SC...

 

5.7 with a pretty good driver I'd say. Saw somewhere it's around a 10-15 WHP difference in the turbobalt's favor, at altitude I wouldn't be surprised if that gap widened significantly.

Chipped VW's normally make that peak torque at some crazy low RPM IIRC, but if it's lighter and he's making around the same WHP, he'd pull.

S2 is a decently fast DD, only a car or so back from a stock SS T/C with equal drivers, but it's still just a lightly-modded 'balt, not sure why everyone expects them to pwn anything with 4 cylinders. I'd expect a turbo VW with breather mods and a chip to pull a bit on my S2. Not sure what it is with them cars and chips, that amount of gain from a chip has to be shortening the life of the stock motor or something... but it sure wakes those V-dubs up in a hurry.
