Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1218 Registered: Mar-07 | For those of you who own one, unless it's the GT, pawn that sh1t and get a real car....time and time again, they get more and more disappointing and embarrassing when I dust one in my 2001 4dr Blazer....standard, automatic, doesn't matter, they suck. I'm pretty sure the 2003 Saturn Ion 4dr I had could leave those POS at the starting line.....lol |

Silver Member Username: Gavbo211JL Audio 10w3v2, IL US Post Number: 749 Registered: Jan-05 | haha.. even the gt's aren't very fast without a few mods. I've got a GT with a few exterior, sound system, and engine mods on it.   the top pic is more recent. and before you all start to scream "ricer", the carbon fiber hood is going to be painted so that only the scoop is carbon fiber, it's for weight reduction. i just havent got around to it yet, get off me.. lol. |

Silver Member Username: Gavbo211JL Audio 10w3v2, IL US Post Number: 751 Registered: Jan-05 | oh and i have to agree with Canaan Chevy > ford I have a 91' Camaro and i've had way less problems with it than i have the mustang. come to think of it, i've had no problems with it and it's 16 years old. |
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1230 Registered: Mar-07 | well obviously, I thought at least, we were excluding the GT and everything higher, I don't even consider the Cobra a mustang b/c it's so far beyond the "mustang" as for Ford>Chevy I had an F150 and then for some reason, the govt saw fit to allow women the right to sit behind the wheel of a motor vehicle, long story short, a female turned head on into me and totaled my truck. Since then I have had a Saturn(GM owned) which I had a ton of problems with the AC, and then my current Blazer which I have put over 3 grand of repairs into (in less than a year). My f150 I had absolutely no problems with. ever. Gavin, you should either drop that car a bit, or get a lower body mod. maybe slightly larger and fatty tires in the back as well. |

Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1235 Registered: Mar-07 | I love f150s  in a few months I'll either have a '07-'08 F150, or '07-'08 Ranger, I just can't decide which.... |
|
Gold Member Username: Livin_loudDo Work Fi Audio Post Number: 2082 Registered: Jan-06 | saleen f150's are just tight along with the harley's. this ranger they have near me is a 1 of 1 that i'd love to have http://sascars.com/carDetail.asp?carsID=2451 |
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1236 Registered: Mar-07 | d@mn, I might have to go with my first choice then (ranger) lol....3L FTL though...lol..that is really nice looking. I was thinking of doing something like that if I get the ranger, but I wanted the "super" cab, and at least the 4L. I'd be getting either bone stock, so it would be cheaper for me to do sh1t to a ranger than an F150, plus I could do alot more with a small truck than a larger one IMO |
|
Silver Member Username: Gavbo211JL Audio 10w3v2, IL US Post Number: 754 Registered: Jan-05 | Eric, i've seen that truck before. the only thing i don't like is that it's an automatic.. that'd be a really sweet truck if it were a manual. though i always say.. whats the point in owning a truck if you don't use it as a truck? |

Gold Member Username: Livin_loudDo Work Fi Audio Post Number: 2083 Registered: Jan-06 | yeah as long as the truck has enough power i don't care much for the size. engine size matters but only to some degree. when its super/turbo charged its a whole different story. the r33 skyline is only a freakin 2.5, but its a monster and Gavin yeah it being auto does blow. don't know why they'd do that... good theory you have going as well. |

Gold Member Username: RideredderCornell, IL USA Post Number: 1208 Registered: Sep-05 | Something went wrong with it. We still haven't diagnosed the problem yet. I'm thinking about dropping a 302 in it, but it's going to take a lot of work. The body is in decent shape, but the engine is fu<ked up. |

Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 6782 Registered: Nov-04 | Thieves, how the hell do you beat with a clunker like Blazer? Either you're racing grandmas in Mustangs or somebody is dreaming. I've owned Blazer in the past, and it's not fast at all. Were you really racing true Mustangs or were they old and rusted ones hauling trailers/boats? I have 1986 Mustang, and believe me, it's not slow at all. I think it did 0-60 in 5 seconds. |
|
Silver Member Username: JnoelAIM= j69noel, KY Post Number: 737 Registered: May-07 | i had a 98 mustang gt. even after a few mods it didnt impress me . and i've driven other mustang gt's and none of them impress me. a friend of mine traded for a 1996 cobra that was built to the mmax. and it was wicked. but face it 4.6 gt's are weak and just sound tough. get an lt1 car theyre fast from the factory and not tha expensive. |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 6784 Registered: Nov-04 | There was a stretch of time where Ford made $hitty ones to lure female drivers. It worked for a bit, but they also lost lot of male drivers. I have one word for them, idiots. |

Bronze Member Username: Fred_sanfordHuntsville, Alabama Usa Post Number: 61 Registered: Nov-07 | dont do a 08 ranger with a automatic! my company has 3 of them with less than 10k and all 3 have had to have new trans.! just in town driving no towing, no heavy loads. |
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1240 Registered: Mar-07 | no one is reading the title of this thread, lol, or the part where I exluded GTs and higher. and no Isaac I'm not dreaming, time and time again, I pull away from that time period and I'm hoping the 6 cylinder model..lol In second gear they catch up but once my automatic blazer hits 3rd I just pull away..lol... I don't like that time frame cause they are ugly and pathetic as a "muscle car" I do like the original 5.0s and the cobras...as well as the '64-'71 range. BTW, I'd love a '69 Boss with a blower  Fred, I'd never get a automatic again!!! I'd only get a stick. And it seems like Ford has sh1tty trans in everything below the F150 series, lol M.S. as far as long lasting, read my post as to why I would never own a chevy again...lol |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 6785 Registered: Nov-04 | "but once my automatic blazer hits 3rd I just pull away" How the hell do you do that? My 5.0L Stang on 3rd gear could almost burn rubber. It has lot of torque and power till it reaches 5th gear. So I still can't picture how you can beat most Mustangs on a stock Blazer. |

Silver Member Username: CblazeRock island, Tenesssee Us Post Number: 868 Registered: Sep-07 | if u want fast get u a chevy nova,or the new corvette |
|
Platinum Member Username: Bestmankind-apem Post Number: 16114 Registered: Oct-05 | i think he was talking about the smaller engine mustangs. but still the v6 mustangs will beat the blazer. only answer i have is that the guy in the mustang wasn't trying to race you. or you got a real good headstart. |
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1244 Registered: Mar-07 | ^yeah chad I was talking about the v6, Isaac take some time to read the title and what mustangs I am talking about before you get all riled up. but I even drove one to see if I was just imagining sh1t, a 5 speed, and was completely unimpressed. I know that my Saturn Ion could take that thing any day. As for whether he was really trying to race me...he pulled up next to me and gave me the ghey head nodd and I saw his nose lift up...again, once I hit 3rd I pulled away. and I've done it before other than just last night. Those v6 1999-2004, the body style just before the current have NOTHING under the hood(if it's the v6 model) |
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1245 Registered: Mar-07 | once more for Isaac, we are talking about the 3.8L v6 |
|
Gold Member Username: CarguyPost Number: 6787 Registered: Nov-04 | I'm not getting "riled" up. Was only trying to understand how you were able to beat any car with a stock Blazer. As I have mentioned before, I did own a 4door Blazer as well. It wasn't fast at all. Let me ask you a question, when you race in your Blazer, does the torque push your body back onto the seat? I can't believe the Mustangs you mentioned were that pathetic. |
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1247 Registered: Mar-07 | not really, but neither did the mustang I drove, which is the type I'm talking about, even when I got the RPMs up, as well as double clutching. I was not pushed back in my seat one bit. The 5.0L is another story but the 3.8L has nothing. Am I saying my blazer is fast? He11 no, lol, I am saying those 3.8L are slow/pathetic. |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderPalm Beach, Florida Post Number: 5630 Registered: Jan-06 | why would you even buy a v6 stang anyway people going around here brand bashing and this is better then that is just stupid. i lost respect for some of you guys. all the manufactures make good cars and really good just depends on what your looking for. and they all make one that suck but to say chevy>ford or ford<chevy is just stupid. honestly its like would i want a saturn or a torus. hell neither they both suck but just because those suck doesnt mean ford and chevy suck. plus some people like those cars because they get them from a to b at a cheap price. sorry for the rant but you people are ignorant today  |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 4603 Registered: Jul-06 | I don't have anything against Ford. In fact a 88 taurus was one of the best cars my family ever had. 200k miles and 15 years. But when some people starting bashing Chevy, I had to point out that their trucks last longer than Ford's, as is proven by vehicle registration data from the 1980s foreword. |
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1263 Registered: Mar-07 | again, from my personal exp with GM, and more so Chevy, b/c I have had even more problems with my blazer...longest lasting, I don't think so...I would love to RUN back to Ford if I had the money, I'm not sure how much longer this thing will last or how much more money it's going to suck out of me to keep it maintained. the only truck I've ever seen with 300k miles on it and still running strong is an F series.. but that's just me |

Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Columbus, GA USA Post Number: 1484 Registered: Mar-06 | Go race a v6 camaro ten, same outcome.I am a FORD guy all the way and the 96-98 GT's were lacking. Didn't have the corect heads and were slower than the 95 Gt 5.0. In 99 they went to the PI heads and helped alot. The 99-04 Gt's are a poor mans muscle car. BUT, BUT!!! easy to bolt on and add horses. Now if I still had my 04 mach 1 (which I will be buying another one VERY soon) it would make the 04 vette look stupid along witht he Camaro SS and ram air trans am. With a tune and bolt on flowmasters I got 32 mpg on highway, 12's in the 1/4, and handles pretty good. Now I will say you woudn't walk form the new 4.0 V6 in your Jimmiy hehe. You have the 4.3 in your Jimmy so it will be a more even match. As for trucks, the only truck close is the Dodge cumming Ford owns all in trucks. Cars, it will always be a toss up. My last words :cough: FORD GT :cough: Kevin |

Platinum Member Username: Bestmankind-apem Post Number: 16141 Registered: Oct-05 | well said kevin. i wouldn't mind getting a f150 so i can raise it and put some big azz tires on it. |
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1282 Registered: Mar-07 | very well put Kevin. which would be a better SPL vehicle, a new F150, or new Ranger(super cab)...both would have just about the same area to work with behind the seats me thinks, maybe the ranger would have a bit more though. having trouble deciding with path to go... |

Silver Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois United States Post Number: 574 Registered: May-07 | Didnt they make a mustang with a 2.? liter v6? I like F150's, new or old. The late 80's ish F150's were built like tanks. I've hit some sh!t hard with an 89' F150 I drove and didnt even touch it. I know if that would have happened in a 99' ram I drove it would have near totaled it. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 4658 Registered: Jul-06 | Again, they sell more cause the have to replaced more often........ according to vehicle registration data chevys last longer on average. On another note, I want a new style Silverado with 6.0L V8   I just wish they offered a manual transmission. |

Gold Member Username: Freezeman_7FOR SALE, BNIB RD AUDI... USA Post Number: 2177 Registered: May-06 | mat ill probably be on later tonight. as for the SVT line, they are just offering trucks and some cars that they send to saleen and roush, its called 3rd party ordering, you order the truck and once it is built at the plant they ship it to either one of those mentioned above and they add the performance stuff, its a hassle a quite a bit of money. |
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1303 Registered: Mar-07 | any of the older trucks...i.e. prior lets say '95 are built like tanks...my problem is my chevy blazer, it's a luxury sedan all leather interior, on star, all that jazz and I've had nothing but problems with it. Prior to the blazer I had a GM owned Saturn Ion and had a ton of problems with the AC, I eventually just stopped using it because I got tired of trying to repair it. My first vehicle, Ford F150, never had any problems what so ever. That's why, IMO and exp, Ford>Chevy Despite that, my two fav vehicles ever are: 1970 C-10 1954 F100 (other than that, any F series) |

|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1317 Registered: Mar-07 | I don't like how "electronic" orienated already, if one thing goes bad, there goes everything else, ends up costing you a fortune to replace something that doesn't even really effect how the engine or trans works |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 4698 Registered: Jul-06 | Yeah I don't know what I'll do after my 94 Blazer (old style) dies......... That will be a while though since these engines run 200k+ miles and I've got 170k on it, and have an engine and trans with 120k waiting......... I'm gonna be driving this truck forever haha. I already replaced almost all the body panels and had it repainted due to rust (northeast winters FTL). |

|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1326 Registered: Mar-07 | then get an escape, if you're thinking about the S-10 Blazer. Like I said, I've had nothing but problems with mine. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 4710 Registered: Jul-06 | 97 and older S10 Blzer = awesome 98+ = not so much But I'd still take it over an escape  Besides, Fords competition to the blazer is the explorer BTW. |
|
Gold Member Username: AdddisorderPalm Beach, Florida Post Number: 5660 Registered: Jan-06 | yeah i dont like the escape. but if your worried about fuel then buy a honda |
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1333 Registered: Mar-07 | well actually, they changed it to an escape, and chevy change the competition to the explorer to the current TRAILblazer...but whatev I have an '01 blazer, I'd take an escape any day of the week at this point. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 4719 Registered: Jul-06 | yeah 98+ blazers = not so good I guess thats why they replaced them with the Trailblazer |
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1335 Registered: Mar-07 | why did chevy keep using the same name repetitively? Could they not come up with anything else? I understand something like the F150 or Silverado, they don't change names back and forth, but WTF? i.e. trailblazer,blazer(full size), trailblazer(s-10), blazer(s-10), trailblazer |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 4729 Registered: Jul-06 | The old S10 Blazers were extremely popular. Used to be the most popular SUV. I guess they wanted to carry over the name to the new vehicle to help it sell better so the came up with trailblazer. Same thing Ford just did with the Taurus. |
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1345 Registered: Mar-07 | yeah but chevy has done it more than once, with virtually the same vehicle. For instance, my model blazer was called the trailblazer in '05 I believe, and maybe when they first came out. But when the '06, again not sure on the year, came out, it was still called the trailblazer but the body was completely different. And they have done that several times. Another example is the old style blazers, the square body s-10s, used to be called tahoes, then trailblazers, then blazers...STOP SWITCHING!!!! lol |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 4731 Registered: Jul-06 | Actually its even worse than that. "Tahoe" used to be an option package for the old S10 blazer. The they used that name when the came up with the shorter version of the suburban. Well at least they stuck with suburban for a while. Since 1935 ain't too bad. |
|
Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1349 Registered: Mar-07 | yeah, true. my friend still has his tahoe package blazer actualy...has a newly rebuilt small block 350, 2.5" exhaust throuhout, 700R4 trans I think....it's nice |
