- Finally picked up a TBSS! Super happy about it. It does have the 6.0 LS2 and is AWD. This thing definitely gets up and goes for an suv. I ended up selling my old LT trailblazer to a co worker and picked this one up a few weeks later out of Chicago.

Came across this video and I subscribed!! Congrats on the SS. Looking forward to learning more and watching all your recent vids
Thank you, I appreciate it!!! Next video will be about the built transmission, as the stock one was fried haha. Then here soon I'm gonna put a 2/3 drop on it, with UCAs. Just need to find some time to install them. Thanks for the support!
Clean truck man, the trailbrazer ss always been my dream truck since i was 14 and learned about the existence of that truck and finally last week i was able to get my hands on a 07 3SS awd and i love it, bought it completely stock, super clean with a clean title and im the second owner, i have a 2021 RST and i love to drive the SS better then my silverado and for being 22 i think im doing pretty good
Oh nice, thats awesome man!!! Good for you!!! Sounds like you are doing pretty well. Just be easy on it, they tend to break alot 😅 keep it up!
Thats awesome! Clean Dad mobile. I always wanted one and couldn't pass up the one I recently got, 07 AWD 3SS I love it! I have an 04 RST I been having since 2006 myself. I been working on for 2 years now. Your content has helped me out with a few ideas for my truck. Cant wait to see more content on both the work truck and the Dad Van(TBSS)💪🏿
Oooooo nice! Glad to see some fellow tbss owners! The RST will be pretty sweet once your all done. Glad I could help put some! I'm hoping to have some more content of the single cab soon. Thanks for the support! 🤘
Love the detail of your video my friend. I recently picked up an 06 ss as well and working to clean it up. Looking forward to more ss vids!
Thats awesome, good for you! Glad to see some fellow tbss owners on here. I might make an update video on it. Already had to have the transmission rebuilt. It was shifting really hard and bad. So I had the transmission built, street/strip shift kit, and a 2200-2300 baby stall for daily driving. Been great so far. Thanks for the support!
Hope you make more videos. Love your way of filming.
Hey, I definitely plan to make more videos. I've just been super busy with work, fixing up my house, and trying to get the black truck running. I was spread too thin. But I'll definitely get back to it here soon. Thanks for the support, I appreciate it!!
I started watching your channel not to long ago and just realized from this video we live in the same city! Love the content man!
AYYYEEEEE, thats awesome!! I work thirds, so I'm usually driving at night, and sleep during all the car shows. So I don't get out much. Thanks for the support though, I appreciate it 🤘
Shout out from Muncie. Im looking to buy one and i think you convinced me lol. Thanks man!
Ayyyeee, right on! I have some family down there. The TBSS is pretty sweet. It is a great daily, if its stock and as long as you don't beat on it lol. If you do, just be prepared for the transmission to not last long (known issue, they are a little small for the tbss and 400hp). I already had to rebuild mine. Rated for 600hp, street/strip shift kit, and a baby 2200-2300 stall. It was 3090$ after parts, labor, and everything. After that, its been amazing.
Thanks for the support, and good luck buying one 🤘 be sure to run the vin to make sure its not a clone.
She's a beauty meng!!! 👍🏼 nice TBSS 👌🏼
Thank you, I appreciate it!!
Man I’ve been wanting one of these for a few years now might be time to pull the trigger next year!
Hell yea! Clean low mileage ones have gone up alot in price though. Not bad for a daily but they suck on gas lol. Thanks for the support 🤘
Wait a little while maybe 6 months
Dont know if you know or not but they make the LTs swb with 5.3 too theyre a bit cheaper and just as good
@@tobybeaubien7044 I’m aware, but they aren’t a ss at the end of the day and what it would cost to convert one your better off buying a 3ss Awd in the color you want and already getting 6.0L
@@2sscole yea fs I was just throwin it out there since theyre a bit cheaper and could find a nice one for like half of what he paid I gotta pretty nice 124k 07 lt with the 5.3 from factory 4wd 3.73s with posi and leather/fully loaded for around 9k the og owner shoulda just got a SS but im not complaining its been awesome the last 20k for me being 20yr trying make dreams come true 😂 lol
Sick ride. Just FYI, 5% tint over factory 20% meters at 0. I did that on my Toyota 4Runner and had the shop meter it.
Oh nice haha, glad to know! I just knew it was SUPER dark 😅 thanks for the support! 🤘
Hell yeah cooper got a tbss! Hella clean bro good shit 👍🏼
Thanks bro!!!! I'm pretty happy with it, except I already had to have the trans rebuilt lol...... it started shifting really bad. So I had it built, shift kit, and they put a baby 2200-2300 stall for daily driving. I'll probably make a small video about it with some WOT pulls. And I have a belltech 2/3 drop I'm gonna put on it. So I have some content i need to film. Thanks for the support!!!
Congrats on your purchase
Thanks, I appreciate it! Its been great so far. The only issue, I did end up having to rebuild the transmission. So I had it decently built, street/strip shift kit, and a baby 2200 stall. Drives great now!
Congratulations on the SS !!! Always wanted one also but I got a 2018 Toyota 4Runner 4 x4 instead oh well but still would like to get an SS one day.
Thank you! very nice, those new ones are pretty fancy. You still have plenty of time to get one in the future 🤘 and thanks for the support!
Looks great!!
Thank you, I appreciate it
Coops is back! Clean daily 👌 sadly my shorty got wrote off but glad to see you got a new project!
Hey now.... its a daily, not a project 😅😅 even though its currently at the transmission shop, getting the trans beefed up, shift kit, and a baby stall. (The old trans started shifting really bad, with that dirty fluid the previous owner had. I tried flushing it, but the damage had already been done)
Thanks though, I appreciate it!! Sorry I haven't posted lately. I was putting alot of hours into the single cab every day, and I got super burned out. Took like a 2 month break from it, and now getting back into it. I'll have some more content soon though.
And your shorty got wrote off??
@@TheKingCoopa yeah I found your page because I was looking to fix up my 04 single cab but that truck got wrecked so on to something new
@@jonny63912 ahhhh damn, that sucks. Glad your okay though! I'm sure it won't take you long to find a new project haha.
@@TheKingCoopa got a good daily recently I think next project is a car this time. I was thinking corvette
Blazer is badass. I've got a 07 myself silver 2wd 1ss. That's a keeper!!!😎😎😎
1¾ ARH and Corsa touring exhaust upgrades will make is sounds awesome if interested
Thank you! Glad to see another tbss enthusiast. I'll definitely be looking into that exhaust setup. I appreciate the support 🤘
congrats on getting engaged Thank God she enjoys cars too.
Thank you!!! (I haven't posted in a while) but we just got married in Alaska recently. Which was pretty sweet!
Hahaha for real, super glad she tolerates me and my addiction 😅. She seems to enjoy the car meets and attempts to learn some of my car stuff. She is pretty great.
Sweet truck!
Thank you!!!
This has got to be the most underrated channel on TH-cam
Thank you, I appreciate it!!! This wasn't even a good video though lol.
Congrats brother love these trucks !!! I have a clone I want to build out
Thank you, I appreciate it!! Nothing wrong with a clone, I was slowly turning my old trailblazer into a clone. I should have just kept it, hell of alot cheaper than the SS 🤣🤣
Nice SS. I have 2007 trailblazer SS that I bought in 2009 and raised my kids in it.
Oh nice, thats awesome! I'll be doing the same thing here soon.
Was it worth it with the gas consumption ?
@@mikelaary911 6 of my vehicles take 93 octane, 4 of those get less than 14mpg. Haha I'm not to worried about the gas mileage. Its the smiles per miles that count. If we road trip, we take my wife's car.
I’ve always wanted one of these!
Get one! They are sweet, but don't get one for a daily driver haha. They arnt very reliable
@@TheKingCoopagoing to look at one with 78k in a week, plan to daily it, you’ve had more problems with it since you’ve bought it ?
My dream truck 🔥🔥 im getting one in 2024, I’ll be back to let you know if I got it. Great vid!
Hey, sorry for the late reply! Tell me some good news, it's 2024, have you found one yet? If so, I hope you've had better luck than me, my TBSS has been an absolute turd lol. It has been breaking down constantly. Thanks for the support!!
@@TheKingCoopawhat things have broke down recently? I’m thinking of buying one soon
@@user-gs5hx4mb7z water pump failed, alternator almost burned the car down, fuse box failed, the transmission went out, and the front diff still needs replaced.
Been thinking of getting a low mileage one of these as a daily and then once the miles get up there I plan on swapping the frame to my 71 chevelle 😂. Awd chevelle ss 😅
Hahaha do it, that would be amazing!
That front bumper looks like Benjamin Buford Blue with a couple silver capped teeth😊
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
Congrats on the truck and engagement I know I’m late 😅
Haha its all good, thank you!! I appreciate it 🤘
Nice ride
Thanks bro, I appreciate it!
Enjoyed the video. Sweet SS. I'm currently looking at 08 3LT. Really good condition with 101,000 mi. Is there any advice you have before I make that purchase. What to look for and/or tips to know? Aldo do you have a link for those new headlights you installed? I appreciate your help and enjoy your video's
.
Hey, sounds like a solid truck. Definitely run a carfax on it. Double check the engine vin code, making sure its not a clone. See if the transmission or engine have been replaced. Also ask if the oil baffle mod has been installed, or hope they ran 7 qts of oil. Ask if they replaced the fuse box yet. Double check for leaks and the rust.
Sorry, don't have the link for the headlights. They were just some Amazon specials, nothing crazy. Thanks for the support, I appreciate it!!! Good luck with the new TBSS
Cam it you won’t regret it hella fun in a suv lol
Hahaha I wish, but I need atleast one vehicle to stay stock 😅 i gotta keep the tbss as the "reliable" daily
Congratulations on the engagement. Sounds like you was in my neck of the woods (Louisville).
Clean TBSS.
Why haven’t you been posting ??
Hey, sorry for the late reply! Louisville isn't too far. We actually just drove through there last week on our way to Tennessee. Life has gotten pretty busy and I had to take a break from social media. TH-cam is a full time job and I was getting pulled in too many directions, so I had to make some cut backs. We both work a lot, and in our free time we have been traveling. Just got married in Alaska, and have a few trips overseas planned. Trying to travel as much as possible before we have kids. Which doesn't leave much free time to work on the truck. It took 2 years, but it is finally running and almost finished. Mainly lost motivation to film because it slows the process down tremendously. But I do have a few videos to edit, and I'll get some update videos posted soon! Thanks for the support, I appreciate it!!
@@TheKingCoopa I totally get it, trust me. I’ve also got a cateye that I’m throwing money at. It’s interesting watching these builds. Good luck with everything.
@@Hoosier81 for sure, everyone has their own ideas and tastes. Same trucks but they can be totally different builds. Thanks for the support, I appreciate it!
congrates on marriage.
Thank you, I appreciate it!!!!
I’m going to test out a 2008 SS trailblazer Monday . 145k miles on it. They’ll take 8700
You should make it a manual 😅
Nice looking trailblazer.👍🏼
Hahaha if it wasn't a daily, that would be pretty sick! And thank you! 🤘
@@TheKingCoopa I have a 2007 SS Impala and plan on doing an All-Wheel-Drive conversion using a trailblazer frame with awd drivetrain and transfer case. I’m going to put a ls7 engine in it from the c6 corvette and put a pro charger on it💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🔥🔥🔥.
Oh wow, definitely going to be a crazy build!! Alot of work to do, but I know it would be sick once its all done. Good luck, hope it all goes well 🤘
I wanna see that hoe choppin 🤝🤝
The hellcat durango definitely scoots too. 😂
Haha they sure do! This was also a 1/6th of the price of a hellcat durango
I have a question I’m in Chicago and have a 06 tbss one owner but with 191k miles and does have paint damage and little rust on the side and back door. leather seats sunroof etc…. how much would you think I can get for it ?
Hey, sorry for the late reply. The market is crazy right now. I've seen some tbss around that condition for 12k and I've also seen some go for 6k. Its a tough one.
Id try posting it on the "TBSS owners" or "TBSS Society" Facebook pages. You will definitely get alot of price estimates on there, or maybe even find a potential buyer. Sorry not much help, good luck though!!
How Do You Bypass A Heater Core in a Trailblazer 6.0 Engine?
Hey, sorry for the late reply! I've seen people just cut the heater core hoses, and run them together. you could remove the hoses, and cap the water pump fittings, and cap the fire wall fittings. Or I've also seen a guy put a plumbing on/off ball valve on one of the hoses. so when he wanted heat, he would turn it on, and turn it off in the summertime lol. Hope that helps.
I wanna see that baby choppin 💪🏻💪🏻
Hey, sorry for the late reply. Haha a choppin TBSS is always sick! The transmission went out already, so I had it built. They did a bunch of hardened parts, street/strip shift kit, and a baby 2200-2300 stall. But other than that, the tbss HAS to stay stock. I need atleast one vehicle to be a good reliable daily. And even then a tbss is debatable for a daily 😅😅. Thanks for the support! 🤘
Have a 2006 TBSS3 harmonic balancer has no keyway on crank spun it twice needs to be pinned if you drive it hard.
Wow... really lol. Guess I'll keep an eye out for it. Already had the alternator melt, transmission go out, and the known fuse box issue happen. Whats next? 🤣
@@TheKingCoopaSounds like you own a tbss lol
@@michelledoyle9261 for real haha, this thing is by far the biggest turd I've ever owned 😅
Hello, do you think the vehicle will improve with reprogramming with HP tuners?
My trailblazer is a 2007 lt 4.2L 6c
Without any aftermarket or supporting mods, I think a tune would just be a waste of money.
@@TheKingCoopa
I understand.
Found one 170,000 miles for $6000 at a local dealership shop it’s been serviced about 25 times over the years do you think it’s worth it ? Ik new to this platform idk if a high mileage one is something getting into
I agree with 11B. $6K at a dealer ship is pretty cheap! Unless its super rusty or had a bunch of accidents. But just remember, at 170k miles, alot of parts are going to start reaching their lifespan. Water pump, ball joints, shocks, body mounts, fuel pump, steering rack, ect. So its definitely going to start nickel and dimeing you alot. Cheap purchase price, but still gonna spend some money in the long run. And just fyi the transmission on the tbss are known for going out. Just had mine fully built with a baby stall. It was 3050$ after parts and labor. Just something to think about. Hopefully it all works out for you, let us know what happens 🤘
HAAHHH???? 👂🏻 I can’t hear you over that fucking sweet ass exhaust note!
Hahaha its actually the quietest vehicle I own 😅😅 thanks though!!
Do you know how to recover or improve the vehicle's fuel performance?
Hey, sorry for the late reply! The TBSS is a heavy SUV with a large HP motor. You won't get good fuel mileage with it. I average about 12mpg and that is daily driving it, not racing it. Unless you're getting 9mpg, there probably isn't anything wrong with it. I'd just drive it a little easier or slower
My Sierra has a 4L60E and my Silverado has a 4L70E. When people ask me what the difference is I tell them the 4L70 is just a tiny bit less shitty than the 4L60E
Hahaha exactly! But I still think the 4l70 is too small for the tbss. 5k lbs with 400hp from the factory = not good for the transmission lol. I already had mine built. It started shifting REALLY bad. Had them add a street/strip shift kit, and a baby 2200-2300 stall while they were there. Thanks for the support!
What part of indiana ? I’m in hammond bud
Get a baffled oil pan to fix the starvation issue
For sure, mine already is baffled, but it's definitely an important mod!!
Hello, how much do you calibrate your tires?
I put 36 psi but I still see the length of the tire, has this happened to you?
Hey, sorry for the late reply! My tires have a max PSI of 51. I usually run mine around 44lbs. Not sure about your tires, but I hope that helps.
@@TheKingCoopa I understand. Has it ever happened to you that you are traveling on an irregular road with a certain speed in your vehicle and when you pass that road you can hear the vehicle door bouncing. What could it be
@@juan1518 id check the door hinge pins, might be worn out. The latch may need replaced or adjusted. The weather stripping can be old and leave gaps. Or I'd check inside the door, there might just be a loose object bouncing around in there from the previous owner.
Hello, how can I solve the following problem. My driver's door moves when I go over a pothole or bumpy road.
Hey, id bet its the hing pins are worn out and need replaced.
If not, I would check the rear latch or latch mechanism. Next check to make sure all the weatherstripping is not worn down. And lastly id check the door frame/cab for straightness. Its possible the vehicle could have been in an accident that wasn't disclosed, and was repaired, but the body is no longer straight.
Hope that helps!
@@TheKingCoopa Thank you very much, I will check it out.
@@juan1518 for sure, good luck!
Has it happened to you that when you accelerate almost to the bottom, the vehicle is supposed to react at par. But I have seen on my trailblazer that when I do that it reacts after about 5 seconds or maybe more and not instantly.
Hey, its probably your tourqe management. Its GMs bandaid for building a weak transmission. It delays the throttle input, so its not so hard on the transmission. You can remove it in the tune, and your throttle response is almost instant. I'd only remove it if you have a built trans. If you're still stock, I'd set it to like 25% or 35%. So you get a better response, but still safer for the transmission.
@@TheKingCoopa I understand, so it only works if I have a modified transmission? otherwise you couldn't
@@juan1518 no. Tourqe management is in the tune/ecu. You can change it whenever you want. It is always there. It doesn't matter what modifications you have. Currently your tourqe management is at 100% on. So it delays your throttle to save the transmission.
You can do whatever you want with it. I'm just saying from personal experience, that if you disable tourqe management to 0% with a stock transmission, it will break alot faster. Even with daily driving it.
@@TheKingCoopa I understand, I better leave it like that, greetings.
The truck is made too play with it not too baby it it's only a toy have fun
I appreciate it! I played with it too much already hahaha, the transmission went out. It started shifting REALLY bad. So I had it built, rated for 600hp, with a street/strip shift kit, and a baby 2200-2300 stall. Thanks for the support 🤘
I have a 17 Camaro ss and I really want one do you think it’s worth getting and how quick is it stock
Oh nice, sweet car. For a mid size suv, it's definitely pretty quick stock. The 4.10 gears really help it get up and go. In all aspect of things, its still pretty slow. You're not gonna beat stock mustangs or camaros with it. Simply for the power to weight ratio. But its still pretty fun to daily.
It all depends on what you want. If you want a reliable daily, it needs to stay stock. You don't want to beat on it. If you do, you're gonna break stuff. Or if you want to race it, just be prepared to spend alot of money lol.
@@TheKingCoopa I’m thinking of getting this or a gto idk yet I guess just what ever I can find
@@TheKingCoopa and thank you yours is very nice as well
@@DakotaThePawgHunter a GTO is pretty nice also. You can make your own decisions, but personally if it was me. I would buy the tbss, keep it stock. Maybe build the transmission (which is a known issue with them). Then modify the camaro.
You can make the camaro alot faster than a tbss, and for alot cheaper. That way you have the race car camaro/toy. And you have the tbss for a daily, that you can tow the camaro around with, in case it breaks. (Built in tow hitch, and they are good at towing). You have plenty of room for passangers/kids/dogs, and has a large cargo spacer for picking stuff up or transporting things. All around a good utility vehicle.
Don't get me wrong, gto and a camaro are a sweet combo. But having two cars isn't always the best logically, in my opinion. But at the end of the day, everyone's situations are totally different, and its your money. Decide what you want, go for it, and don't look back 🤘
Hey,mate. Do you receive any message from the rep of AUXITO? We reached out to you several times for a product review opportunity without response. Is it hidden or that something you are not interested in?
Hey, I thought I replied, sorry about that! I appreciate your offer, but I'm gonna have to pass. Thanks though!
i got a 2007 tbss with a mild cam clean title 130k awd for sale 14500 obo
Very nice! Be sure to post it on the "Trailblazer SS sell/swap hub" Facebook page. 24k members on there, im sure it will help sell faster. Good luck!!
So is it faster than the truck and vette?
Hey! So the TBSS has 400hp/tq from the motor, and runs high 13s to low 14s in the 1/4mi. (Google) I'll have to test it with my dragE.
The vett makes 371whp on a roller dyno. And with a strong hook will run high 12s but consistently runs 13.20s with the dragE.
And the truck hasn't ran in months lol. Once its finished, built 6.0/4l80e/AWD with nitrous. Im hoping for around 550-600hp. So honestly not sure what time it will run, but should spank both the tbss and vett. I should have the truck finished up this winter. Thanks for the support 🤘
@@TheKingCoopa upload a dragy run in the vette too when the westher permits. I’d like to see what they all run
@@joellasierra for sure! I'll do the tbss here soon. I've owned it for like 2 months now, and it is currently having the transmission built. It started giving me shifting problems, who knows how long the previous owner had that dirty fluid in it. The new trans should be rated for 600hp now with a transgo shift kit in it. So that might help a tiny bit haha.
Hey wanted to ask about your work truck, I have a quadrasteer bed as well and would like to know where you bought the bed rail caps from?!!!!
@TheKingCoopa
It is reliable ?‼️
I would recommend it as a toy, but for a stock daily driver like mine... no 😅. I treat this car really nice, and it still breaks down all the time. But I think I finally fixed all the common issues with it, so I should be good for a really long time.
It sounds bad, but every car has known issues. The previous own didnt take car of this car, and I got all the repercussions from it haha. I would still recommend getting one. They are really cool cars
@@TheKingCoopa I’m still thinking on getting one but it would end up being my daily

You need to buy a Chrysler 300 and make a video
The Chrysler 300 SRT8 oooooooooo. I'd love one of those! I need a bigger garage first 😅 thanks for the support!
My dream SUV… I need a dam job
Hey, sorry for the late reply! Hopefully you had some luck with the job search. These are really cool SUVs, but I would not recommend them as a daily driver. Even stock they still have issues and break down a lot.
I finally got into the job I wanted after 4 years, this girl is my target, I drive a rav4 as my daily so this baby will be babied
@@lux_cobra_yt3067 oh nice, that is awesome! Congrats! If you have facebook, I would get on the TBSS owners classifieds page. They post TBSS for sale almost every day on that page. It might help you in your search.
@@TheKingCoopa that’s awesome I’ll check it out! Have ya kept the blazer stock? Or was there a cam upgrade calling your name?
@@lux_cobra_yt3067 well my corvette is cammed, and the truck is highly modified. So its actually really nice to have a normal vehicle lol. That being said, the tbss has broken down on me more times than all the vehicles I've ever owned combined... haha (which is alot). So it is forever staying stock. I might do dual exhaust and a sound system, but thats it.
look bro i make $18.00 an hr they have one for 14k 120miles do you think i would be able to afford this like is it high in maintenance and expensive parts? my boy a mechanic so i ain’t paying top dollar for labor please someone get back to me i need one of these lol
Hey, depending on the rust and condition. 14k definitely isn't a bad deal.
I cant really answer you on the financial question. There is alot a variables. How many hours you work, how far do you drive, how much are you paying for rent/cost of living, are you good with your money. Ect. Ect. So thats all on you. My advise is to get a budget sheet offline, sit down and write down where all your money is coming and going. That will tell you if you can comfortably afford it or not.
But for maintenance, its the LS motor, they are pretty reliable, if you take care of them. The bad thing about these, is EVERYONE beats on them. Its hard to find a clean stock one. But if you do, the transmission will eventually go out if you beat on it. And run 7 quarts of oil. So on hard accelerations the oil pickup tube doesn't run dry and burn your bearings up. My tbss is stock and still blew the transmission. It was 3200$ for everything, removal, install, labor, built trans, bigger stall, and a street/strip shift kit. So just keep that in mind.
Hope that helps l, good luck! 🤘
@@TheKingCoopaso basically if i keep 3200 in a different savings i should be good!? 😭😭
@@outsideboy23 haha I would definitely put some money aside if you do get one. Check on the Facebook page "TBSS Owners" alot of good information in there. But you will notice these are kinda problem childs 😅
65e
Hey, the 65e is a small upgrade from the 4l60e. The TBSS came with the 4l70e. All are still pretty weak compared to the 4l80e though.
7300$ god damn you scammed that poor man, hey anythings worth what someones willing to spend but 7k is a TBSS with decent mileage.
He kept asking, and kept asking, so I said fine, here is my price haha. If I had another daily, I would have bought a tbss with a blown motor for cheap. But man, trying to find one with lower miles and clean was pretty hard. It all worked out though
@@TheKingCoopa lower miles is hard but finding clean higher ones isn’t. I paid 6k for my tbss with some rust and 120k when I bought it. Trans went out last April since a bandaid that i put on my trans cooler blew the line off and roasted the transmission after almost 40k miles of 3/5 scale of abuse. Now it’s parked waiting for my C5z to sell then i will put a new transmission in mine to daily again.
@@_BebeTv_ damn, thats a pretty good deal! I absolutely hate rust lol, so I passed on a few good rusty deals. That sucks though, definitely an expensive accident. I plan on running a trans temp guage, just for some peace of mind.
Selling the C5z huh? I wish I would have gotten a Z instead of the FRC. Its all good though. I was pretty young and didn't have alot of money when I bought mine like 10 years ago.
@@TheKingCoopa yea i bought the C5Z for my 18th birthday with transmission and clutch problems for a steal, 76k miles matching trans and motor with bolt ons and a BTR cam that was built for trac so it has full silver Coilovers all around with tracspec hood vents and carbon WB panels in the rear with custom offset Forgestars and Big brake Willwood kit, paid 13k with a extra transmission that had receipts, threw that in and a LS7 clutch kit and rebuilt the torque tube while it was all out. Had it since April but it’s been nothing but headaches with the shop I took it to with them not doing the job correctly and had to threaten with court for them to fix it properly after spending already 3.500$ in parts and labor. So I’m just trying to get rid of it and get into a CTSV or boosted C6 now. I got my Tbss for my 16th birthday from my parents as a early graduation gift so that won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Hopefully the Tbss will be up and running then I’ll tow around the race car in it. My IG is @SS.Gerardo if you want to see pics of the car.
@@_BebeTv_ damn man.... yea thats crazy. Sounds like one crazy headache!! It definitely looks good though! Carbon wide body will definitely be coming soon! I sent you a follow. Good luck with the car/transmission situation
i just got one I'm in Illinois to please help me it's not for daily driver please help me get her faster please let me know tbss
Very nice, good for you 🤘 the easiest way to gain some HP. Would be a mild camshaft swap with upgraded valve springs. A 2800-3000 stall converter. S&b cold air intake. Maybe some exhaust work like longtubes. And for sure get a tune. After that, it will be pretty fun toy! But make sure you do the oil pan baffle mod, and run an extra quart of oil, so you don't get oil starvation on WOT pulls. Also, just fyi, the tbss transmissions are kinda weak, and if you beat on it alot, you will probably have to upgrade/build the transmission. If you do, od get them to add a street/strip shift kit too. Hope that helps, thanks for the support 🤘
Hey luv the SS I'VE HAD ONE SINCE 2009.Still basically stock love the car. Wish u were here in Ohio 2 give a help and advice on Mods.
Oh nice, thats awesome! Honestly, I'd keep it stock, unless you already have another good reliable daily driver. A racecar/daily dont mix well, it's eventually gonna break 🤣 These tbss also get expensive once you start trying to go fast. But if you have any questions, just let me know 🤘
