Stage 2 SS vs. TrailBlazer SS
Short story: My 05 SS, Stage II with a 2.8. Came up on a new TrailBlazer SS. It looked sexy. I had 4 people and he was solo. Went in 2nd gear from 40ish to about 110. His front bumper was at my rear bumper. I must admit, those things have *****. Some very scientific DragTimes research has told me those are good for a 13.5-14. I was very impressed, but I don't think I would spend 40K+ on one.

Who cares, SRT 8 is the ****... TB SS looks good But NAh
Price range: Now if your planing to buy a $35k on a car I don't think $6K is that much of a diff, I would go with the SRT8. Sorry Chevy
But back to reality, I love my little Cobalt SS/SC haha

maybe the srt-8 is a bit faster but the tb ss is much hotter i mean interior sound (its a freakin vette engine come on) everything and the srt-8 does not come with very many options and can get into the forty thousands very easily

Most cherokee srt8's run very consistent 13.5-13.6's, which would make them about a second quicker in the quarter...either way the srt8 is still quicker than the ss stock for stock, so if your talking to me...I dont think I'm misinformed at all.

Out of the three videos I have seen one was at the track and the other two were street races.
One was white TB SS vs black SRT-8, black TB SS vs black SRT-8 and red TB SS vs black SRT-8. The track race was one run but the street videos had about three runs each. One of the videos even had a LS1 F-Body run the TB SS and SRT-8 at the end and it won both times.
Blah, Blah magazine this magazine that it would be what most call a drivers race in the real world with all things equal.
