Default Lined up with a trailblazer SS...

Was leaving a light next to a TB SS and we both kicked it at the same time. Stayed side-by-side until about 30 or 40. Then he started creepin'. At about 65 his rear bumper was even with my front bumper so I let off. I was surprised I hung with him.

They should be pretty evenly matched - both 390 HP, the Ram probabally weighs a bit more.

I was leaving a light next to a Prius. I gave the Prius a head start. Caught him before hitting the speed limit of 25 when we both backed off. Have yet to be beat by any compact car.. So one truck is faster/slower than another.

I'll try not to read these threads anymore. Sorry in advanced for the sarcasm.

Well that was very close, hanging in there like that. Your weight (QC) was against you though....I'm sure you surprised him. The trailblazer SS is quick,
your were just a mod away from him I think. I have seen a few around but never run one. You can't win em all.....there is always someone faster but good job anyway
