figured since everybody was showin off they new shit I'd do the same. Got this shit back in Feb. It's a 3SS AWD.....fully loaded except for nav. I put a Viper alarm and remote start on it other than that it's stock. I don't plan on doin any mod's just drivin it mostly on weekends/trips/winter. Yes, it does take premium and is currently gettin about 14 mpg. My drive to work is 10 min from my house.....so please no preachin. 8]

how you like it? ive seen them and i like how they look. Sound nice too.. stock exhaust.

thanks ya'll......I love it so far. It's got the best of both worlds. 395 hp and I'm up off the ground, which is nice. The build quality is about like any other Chevy. Not the tighest fitting panels like a Lexus or anything. I have noticed the transmission to be a lil sluggish in the first gear or two in stop and go traffic. A tune will fix this by changing the shifting points but finding an AWD dyno might be kinda hard. It does drink gas.....but it also hauls ass for an suv. I'm satisfied with my purchase. Since GM is shuttin down most of their plants this might hold some decent value in a few years. I have a lil over 3,000 miles on it so far. I did do an oil change at 3,000 and put in mobil 1 and ac delco filter. It's also gotta bumper to bumper 100,000 mile warrenty...

the SS is supercharged right?, its crazy cuz when you look at the other Trailblazer models (the lower base ones), it doesnt even compare to the look of the SS, it almost looks like a completely different.

no, it's all motor. I know the Cobalt SS and they make a Monte SS that are supercharged but not on the Trailblazer SS. They do make an aftermarket supercharger for them though. It's gotta LS2 6.0 V8 in it.....the same engine that's in the corvettes...
