**99ss** · 02-13-2010, 04:08 AM

any one raced one or seen them on the road they look pretty damn fast from vids on you tube

Mid to lower 13's in the 1/4. Hell of a launch (awd) but tend to give it up when aerodynamics comes into play. Can't tow ANYTHING because of where the exhaust exits in the rear. Fuel economy.... terrible.

What's done to that Camaro?

TBSS can be fast too. Just changing the converter they took a second of their 1/4 mile time.

My best friend owns one. Like above said, the launch is crazy. No spin, just hauls ass. So, depending on how well your launch is in the LS1, it would be a driver's race. If you get a decent launch, you should pull them on the top end.

yeah the vid with the red maro is the one i watched an a couple others it looks like the camaro beat him but not by much but like you said it depends on the lunch an driver the srt8 though have a really good lunch easy i was just wondering because i have seen one in on the high way but to much traffic to try anything but it sounded mean for a suv/jeep

Brick on wheels however can be made fast... Then again everything can be made fast, just how deep is your wallet.

I was thinking about getting the TBSS for a daily driver but i might wanna get it for a track truck to beat up on more mustangs

**Mr. Luos** · 02-13-2010, 07:48 PM

Does the TBSS have a tow rating??

Been interested in those for a while. Would be a few years before buying, but if I could pull the car around with it and use it as a daily driver....that would fucking rock.

**10spokess** · 02-13-2010, 07:56 PM

it has a 6700 lbs towing rating

I leased an 07 TBSS awd... and I towed an enclosed tandem axle trailer with 3 quads with no problems at all. The rear air leveling system kept the truck from squatting and driving it, I had no issues at all. And then I'd take the trailer off and bust 13's at the strip.

How is the MPG while towing?

Better question is... how was the MPG period..... terrible!!!

towing I probably got 10mpg...

**35th-ANV-SS** · 02-14-2010, 07:45 AM

My friend in his SRT8 Jeep told me he got, on average, around 14MPG.

**allbaugh_04** · 02-14-2010, 08:27 AM

Without towing I think it's supposed to be 14/19mpg.

But honestly, unless you got a diesel, you probably aren't gonna get shit for mileage while towing with almost any vehicle.

**EVIL-LS1** · 02-14-2010, 09:25 AM

Last year at MIR I seen one at the Mopar meet go 11.22 in the 1/4..I dont now his mods but it was FAST..

That's what I got... average 14mpg... the best I did was 19.4 while driving the Ohio Turnpike.
