Go ahead and run a Trailblazer SS with your very basic bolt on Ford and tell me their scared.

Your edged basic exhaust 5.4 is not a truck that I would be trying to pick fights with, pretty much just showing your immaturity; if you ask me.

Just like all the other Focus/Civic/Tiburon basic bolt-on ricer wannabes.

Go to your local track on street race night, post up some times with the slip that you run and maybe then someone might be impressed.

I'll do one better; run a Hemi with your 3:55's and tell me how it turns out...

I one time raced and beat a PT Cruiser. It was pretty crazy. I almost hit 60 in 45 so I had to back off. I pretty much like to live on the edge.

Here's me in MY '08 Screw with 3.55's (10 days from the dealership) racing a week old Dodge Hemi...

Good for you; beating a Hemi at the track and showing proof.

Now how about that Trailblazer SS?

Least you're running in a controlled environment and doing it safely. What did you run by the way?

AND you're actually smart enough not to do it on a public street.

My apologies to the OP or anyone else in this thread if they are talking about racing at the track and not on public streets.

Man I'm starting to sound like my Dad more and more everyday.

“When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished by how much he'd learned in seven years.” Mark Twain

both my pickups aren't sceeeered of hemi's, the green one has 3.55's

I hate it when people try to race in town, stall out when the light turns green then they "win" on the ricer flyby
