  • They call the Chevrolet Trailblazer SS the Corvette of SUVs for the LS3 small-block V8 that powered it, but this modified version is far beyond what Detroit imagined. With visual references to sport-import tuning machines, a two-wheel-drive conversion and 1,000 turbocharged, tyre-smoking horsepower, Rob has his hands full with this build. CAUTION: includes gratuitous burnouts.

      That wasn't a burnout, that was a smoke-out!! the Trailblazer is (IMO) one of the most underrated vehicles you can still buy whether, it be the Amer-barra 4200 or any of the LS's motors you really can't lose.

    Tried to build my own version of one of these a few years back. Had an 06 trailblazer with a ss body kit wheels steering wheel. It had a standard straight six with exhaust sounded pretty cool for a v6. Eventually threw a rod and I bought a 5.3 vortec to put in it. Went to jail for a few months and got it stolen from someone I knew. Cops never did anything but not call me when they found it. Lost my ss build but I love these suv's. The ultimate grocery getter.
