and to whoever said the SRT-8 Jeep is gay, its AWD with a Hemi, faster than the SS Trailblazer. I hope you feel the same way about chevy "throwing" SS badges on every car left and right.

arent the new trailblazers awd also? speaking of which live 4 minutes away from the suv truck plant for gm. ive seen probably 500 Trailblazer SS's around. they are ****ing nice.(keep in mind i absolutely hate suvs with a burning passion)

Substitute the word VAN for V6 Fbody ;)

The same reason why people work up V6's. They love the look they get when they beat V8s and tell them they got toasted by a 6. </font>[/QUOTE]The reason I worked up my V6 was to beat down v8's and because the 98-02 firebirds looked so sweet.. I added a WS6 hood and man my car looked mean and with the cam it sounded mean.. I cant get the same thing from a minivan or a Neon..

SO all my friends like to rag on me b/c I have a V6 and most of them drive V8's. Not sporty V8's..Grand Cherokees and the like. Anyway, I know I could easily smoke them all but last night I finally got the chance to kill one. Buddy in a early 90's town car. I know they arent meant for speed and I expected a huge win, but everyone thinks just because it's a V8 and I have a V6, I automatically lose. Even though they weigh as much as a house. So anyway, light turns green, I put 4 lengths on him and shut down at 70. His exact words were "Good lord what have you done to that thing you went 0 to 60 before I even knew what happened."

Lol.

All about the 3.42's.

Good kill!! bet that shut them up a little!

Actually, on sound alone, I think the SRT4 sounds better then the 3.8.

I'll quote my friend refering to my camaro, "Your car sounds horrible, like a pissed off helicopter on nitrous"

I just don't understand why someone would buy something like an SRT-4... if they wanted to go fast why not just get a proper sports car?

SRT4 is as fast as an LS1, very cheap to mod, strong engine, handles better than an fbody... All for what, like 22k? I mean, I can't imagine why anyone would want one.

Not like a bubble car... and if you're gonna tell me that an SRT-4 looks sleek or fast you are off your rocker.

Besides is it not dangerous to be making sports cars out of cars that were never really designed for speed? I know damn well that i wouldn't want to go that fast in my mom's station wagon, regardless of whats under the hood.

Why not it can handel it !

The srt-4 looks like a cousin to the VW beatle. Its true with our cars we just have to spend 1000s of dollars on the motor to have a fast sports car. Ricers have to spent 1000s on the motor and 1000s on a body kit to hide there grandma style cars..

who saw car and driver choose the SS trailblazer over the jeep srt-8...even though the srt was faster, they liked the SS better
