I find it interesting that they are referring to a mid sized performance car.......maybe they will bring those back as well, an LS1 in a Chevelle SS!!! OOOOOOOOOh, that would be cool!

by a 6.0 liter V8 that
produces 345 horsepower and 380 lb ft of torque, makes a modern performance statement, while acknowledging
Chevy's midsize performance past.

With a wheelbase of 113 inches and an overall length of 191.8 inches, the
Chevy Trailblazer SS is comparable in dimension to another venerable member
of the SS family, the 1967 Chevelle SS 396. In fact, with a wheelbase of
115 inches, and an overall length of 197 inches, the '67 Chevelle SS is
actually over 5 inches longer than Chevrolet's midsize SUV of today.

"Midsize cars started the muscle car revolution in the sixties" said Kurt
Ritter, Chevrolet General Manager. "Vehicles like the Chevelle SS 396 not
only had plenty of power, but the room and comfort for everyday living.
Because of that, midsize vehicles were seen as very personal --
As for its engine, a 345 horsepower V8 from a GM full-size pickup was
transplanted intto the TrailBlazer SS -- another nod to early muscle cars
that featured engines from larger vehicles. A heavy duty 4-speed automatic
transmission backs the engine and a Corsa 2.5 inch diameter stainless steel
performance exhaust system provides a muscle-car exhaust note.
. The 2003 Silverado Extended
Cab pickup is the FIRST production vehicle and Chevrolet will announce
additional SS production models in the coming months and years.

HA!

I did it so I wouldn't have to listen to him pout about no one answering his thread. If he had posted it in the high-traffic area to start with, I wouldn't have had to help him out!

So there.
