yes, but repos are cheaper.

Its a sic fuckin suv, that thing can get down stock, just imagine it with a blower and spray, et street DR's x4. although the same can be said for the TBSS as well.

Makes me wonder how durable an xterra motor is, I know I can get that jap junk cheap and build the snot out of it.

where you gonna find 20" DR's?

 

[WhiteDevil]

I wouldnt run 20"'s infact id sell em for a set of smaller wheels.

 

[WhiteDevil]

Nice. Sounded decent too

I believe because of the brake setup you cant run anything smaller.

If its the same as the Rams then you can go 2-3" smaller because there was an optional disc on the hemi equipped models. I dont own the car so im not too worried about it, just gives me more reason to stay with GM if thats the case.

I tryed to put 18" Charger RT wheels on my dads 300C SRT8 and they wouldnt fit, the SRT8 Jeep has the same brake setup.

Even in stock form those are pretty quick. A guy from one of my classes stomped the shit out of an LT1 Firebird in his and he's claiming just a catback. For reference i raced the same Firebird and i would estimate it ran low to mid 14's.

What rotors are they running the 18.5"'s or the 19"'s? The hemi ram was able to fit a 17" wheel no problem.

TB SS FTW!

Pickup trucks dont have brembo brakes.

i was under the impression from the title that this thread was about Discuss, the field event. I was sorely mistaken and hate this thread.

Brembo does make brake setups for trucks. http://www.autoanything.com/brakes/61A2861A0A0.aspx but no they don't come on from the factory. Also some TBSS were 2wd

 

[ChrisRac]

TB's are sexy. Especially the SS's

 

[Nasty93]

TB SS is awesome. AWD + Moddable Vette Motor= why not

its not a vette motor.. its a TB motor.

 

[01Cobra]

its not a vette motor.. its a TB motor.

I say vette motor because it pretty much is.It was stuffed in alot of other cars. But when I hear 6.0L V8 I think Vette motor, not TB motor. Maybe minor differences. But i'm no expert and maybe you are.

in a saab???


sick

 

[bluzohh6]

yawn

 

[Nasty93]

id rock a TB SS, but... i think i might get a new STS

 

[Mook]

id rock you :naughty:

 

[Bru]

I drove the 9-7X Aero, which is a cousin of the SS -- same engine/trans/platform, etc, and it was sure as hell a fun SUV. Completely not right for a Saab - too rough and raucous. But for an SS it was right on. Loud, fast and pulled strong for stock.

SRT-8 Cherokee + STS turbo system. Just get the universal system and do it in the driveway.

STS turbo is the worse system to buy if your talking the rear mounted setup. In terms of install its not but as far as easy to steal its a bad choice

It's all a matter of how devoted the stealer is. There take your whole damn car if they can.

Rear mounted systems are dumb in general IMO. Almost every car has shown it can have a traditional under hood turbo system. Its a nice gimmick however.

Intense tried to get rear mounts into the 3800 crowd but they failed horribly to produce any good times and stated that it would probably be the most expensive system on the market. So you get to go slower and pay more to do it? YAAAAY!!!
