I'm not clued up on American cars. Trailblazer is a pick up right?
Are the LS engines Chevy? Isn't the LSX what they put in everything? 5.0 v8? 400hp?
they are 5.7 L and up.
The trailblazer ss, mine had an LS2 6.0L V8 , tuned, intake, fully worked tranny, e-fans, exhaust work, and a couple other odds and ends. that thing was a fucking beast. Stock it was like 395/400 at the crank, not sure what it was after those things. It ran like a raped ape though.
Jesus Christ.
I bet the kids were never late for school.
and because everyone loves police chases heres a story of mine and a video not of mine
Story:
I had just gotten out of my night class at 10 pm, it was a cool crisp fall night. I had seen maybe one car on the Meritt Parkway going from Hamden, CT to Meriden, CT. There was a long straight coming up so i said fuck it, I buried the pedal, came out of the turn at probably 90mph and hit the straight away fast, wide open throttle. When I hit 120ish I looked up in the rearview mirror when I noticed flashing lights behind me, there was a fucking cop with his lights off backed into the woods....fuck. So I do what any red blooded american male adrenaline junkie does and I keep the throttle buried. This fuck wasnt catching up and I finally let off at about 150ish mph and scooted off the highway, drove way to fast down a few side street (100mph plus) and parked behind the garage. There were cops driving around for the next few hours. I was dumb and young but man, was it fucking fun.
And heres this

Huge car nerd.
Currently drive eco box with a stick and 40+mpg on the highway.
I love the k20 swap idea. Why not consider the exige instead?
Currently paying off school debt.
My plan is viper TA in about 2 years. I'm even fine with the totally over the TA 2.0....dat wing.
I used to have a 91 Celica GT-S with nitrous, still miss that car. Had a couple VW's after that. Now I've got a Lexus is300 and a TRD Off Road Toyota Tacoma.
I thought the number in the model denoted the engine size with bmw.
For instance
330 = 3l
335=3.5
740=4.0
?
328=2.8
Am I mistooken?

Exactly right. Until the last 10 years when they fucked it all up. To release various tuning of the same 3.0l i6 engine they had to use various numbers.
So 328 and 335 use same displacement but different power.
Badass vid but fyi thats not a Charger, it's a C63AMG, at 1:29 theres a drive by and the dash is not mopar.
There's already a naturally aspirated 3.0l 1 Series, the 130i, so to differentiate between that and the turbo'd one they made it a '135i'.
Let me find the pictures of my modified Cobalt SS/SC.
But here is my Abarth that I got rid of a year or so ago. Great car but not intended for Michigan winters (I have a jeep patriot now)

Here is my 2007 Cobalt SS/supercharged. I modded the shit out of it. I know I am going to forget something but it had a cold air intake, 60# injectors, 2.8 pulley, meth injection, colder plugs, torque dampener, and a custom tune
Diddnt know u got rid of the abarth. Do you want to buy a 370z? Runs great. 2 careful owners
If i could i would, I love most of the z models.
An Exige would be awesome but you're likely to pay a premium. Essentially the same car though. Slightly wider front track.
I drive a 2008 Ford quad cab truck. Wife drives a 2013 VW Passat.
My baby is my 1995 240SX with an S15 front end. Im in the process of redoing the suspension. I just got my bolts back yesterday. Im putting a 5.0 V8 in it. The motor is finished. just trying to find time to coordinate everything.
