Dude not one would stand up to our rigs. I owned a1999 blazer that I bought for my wife and I couldn't weight to get rid of it. I owned it for 2 years and had nothing but costly problems with it. There is no way that thing would keep up. I've takin Explorer's. There is nothing they got on the 5.9L [8D]

I've only raceda coupleother SUV's.....a GMC Envoy, which was close till about half way through second gear when it stopped hauling; a Ford Expedition, which Iabsolutely destroyed, its just way too heavy and the 5.4L is pure crap, and a Suzuki Sidekick just for laughs.....

the trailblazer smoked me after i shifted to 3rd, they redline at 7k.

was neck and neck with a acura integra, he was shocked i kept up, funny stuff

also beat, not by much either an X5 or X3 BMW. i'm thinking 3 since the 5 is a V8

Most chevys gov. out at 100 to 105 and the D is around 115mph so you have them there!

JaymZz,

As Hydra says... Pleazzzze. With my D, your list doesn't have a chance. My achiles heal on my Durango is my air conditioner. They probably have me beat there, but no where else.

Just race them and find out. It should be fun no matter what. Just remember there is always going to be someone faster then you.
