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

I've got a GT with a few exterior, sound system, and engine mods on it.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

"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.

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.

^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)

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.

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.

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.

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

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: :-)

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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

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.
