Powerplant we need!
Anyone seen the TrailBlazer SS?
The Chevrolet TrailBlazer SS gets a big power spike, thanks to a Corvette-derived LS2 6.0-liter V8 engine, which GM says will generate 391 horsepower and about 385 lb.-ft. of torque. GM also estimates that the Nürburgring-tuned TrailBlazer SS will accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. It’s possible to get the Trailblazer SS in either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and stabilitrak will be standard on the TrailBlazer SS along with a rear –self-leveling suspension. That kind of a performance suspension, with a lowered ride height, makes the TrailBlazer SS look cool and run hot. Also hot is the TrailBlazer SS's composite intake manifold, used in other mid-size trucks and adapted to this engine to help produce balanced torque and horsepower. The Chevrolet TrailBlazer SS comes with 20-inch polished aluminum wheels and four-wheel disc brakes with 12.8-inch rotors at the front. The thing prices out like an H3.

RE: Powerplant we need!
Saw this in a mag.............Cool ride but i don't understand the use of brake air ducts. What is this thing going to do that it needs them?

RE: Powerplant we need!
I have a buddy that has one a couple days old. Very cool. The ducts are just a look thing

RE: Powerplant we need!
I road tested the SS monster the same day and at the same dealer but we decided on the H3. I haven't received one speeding ticket yet!

RE: Powerplant we need!
I saw on some other boards that it is rumored that the H3 gets a 5.3L V8 with 320 HP in 2008. All they would need then is a good 6-speed manual, and the H3 would be just about perfect.
