Default First Time at a quarter mile track... I'm happy.

I've ran quite a few times at an 1/8 mile track as it was the only thing close, but last night I ran a full quarter mile for the first time... Not much different really... the launch in this car is the hard part... and I still didn't really get it down last night.

I did make about 15 runs though... pretty much hotlapping the entire time.

Mods are MS CAI, Homemade Racepipe and a TRZ Motormount.

I also pulled the interior of the car... 11 bolts and 45 minutes later.....



With my speaker box and everything, I bet it lost 300lbs.... it looks like I have a lift...




Ran a best of 13.8@104..... which I was happy with.

Nice times, do you feel an overall performance difference with the weight reduction?

It feels like you are minus one passenger.....

Kinda the opposite of how it feels when you're carrying another person in the car.... not much, but you can kinda feel it...

I ended up weighing every part as I put it back in... turns out I only shed 207lbs.... still though... worth the 45mins to me... took me an hour to put it back in even with weighing everything.

here's the breakdown for weight.....


Front Seat with all hardware 41.5lbs
Rear Seat assembly (with hardware and lower seatbelts) 48lbs
Rear tray assembly (plastic, styrofoam, rear floor with tools) 19.5lbs
Spare Tire 32.5lbs
Rear cargo tray cover 4.5lbs
Jack 4.5lbs
Floormats 4.5lbs

Speaker Box 52.5lbs


So minus the speaker box I have you really only lose 155lbs.....

Nice work and good info on weight reduction. I was kind of interested in Trailblazer SS a couple years back. I have heard the SS with the 6.0L Vette engine is a good motor to mod with simple bolt-ons. What did he run? Did he have any mods?

I think it was stock and he ran a low 14...

Back in Texas at the 1/8 mile track I was beat up by one that was modded....

Here's a vid of it.

Thanks for the info and vid. It is interesting that these two vehicles are so close stock vs. stock and yet they achieve their performance in such different ways. I still like the SS, but when I visit the gas pump I don't regret having the 2.3T instead of the beast. And hey, I was still able to get 16 bags of mulch in the MS3 this spring!

I noticed that you are on the stock ECU. Do you have plans in the future for tuning?

No plans for anything more than what's done, except maybe some springs and a rear sway..... this is my daily driver and it already has 60K on the clock.


Once I finish the Mustang (again), it'll be my primary 1/4 mile vehicle...

The rear fender is the worst though.... I hammered it out to be a thousand dents instead of just one.... LOL!!

This thing is cursed!!

Here's what it used to look like:




Can't forget the time it was broke into either....

Damn Alex, you stripped the hell out of that thing quick. Too bad you didn't get to make it down to Ennis when you were still down here. How did you like finally making a full 1/4 mile pass?

Cut weight off the wheels and it would have done the same thing or do both. I cut 150 pounds with leaving my front seat in and speaker system. My rotas weight in at 14 pounds a piece and my stock rims were 25. Removing what you did plus a good set of rims will have you flying.

I would have liked to get a decent launch though... the track wasn't prepped all that well... plus you couldn't avoid the waterbox... so yeah...


And honestly if I didn't have the speaker box and had a pneumatic ratchet, I could pull all that 155lbs in about 15 mins....

No doubt... but this was free and I don't have cash for wheels right now, although I'd like to pick some up.

You did manage a 2.160, too bad the rest of the run was subpar compared to the other 3. It does suck when the waterbox is unavoidable. At tracks like that they seem to always like to fill it up right before I drive through.

Yeah... I understand that, but I lived in a high-end neighborhood and the MS3 was the cheapest car in the neighborhood....

Either way, the bastards stole the backpack I had my entire Army Career... that thing had been through all sorts of shit... It was custom altered in South Korea. If I EVER see anyone with it (and it's one of a kind), I will straight up kill the person wearing it.

Same here... the kid would look right at me and toss the water out on the box... I kept telling him not to do that, but he never got it.

Yeah imagine if you could combine the best of all of your times, it would be an ideal world... LOL!!!

I'm ready for autocross season to start and once I get the mustang up here, that'll be my drag car and it'll kill the MS3's times by a HUUUGE margain.

Nice job and the TBSS are very good but IMO lack low end due to the weight and high revving LS motor

This is just off the top of my head....

Front Seats

Pull the plastic covers on the four corners of the seat tracks carefully, so you don't break the clips... you may need a little force, just don't rip them off...

Then pull the little plastic cover off the side of the seat near the door seal to reveal the seat belt bolt. Unbolt the four main bolts at the corners and the one for the seatbelt. Tilt the seat back a little bit to gain access to the harness plug, remove the plug and pull the seat.

Rear Seats

Just pull up on the bottom seat cushion and it should pop right out.

For access to the bolts for the back sides of the seats, it's easiest to remove the package tray in the hatch. Once you get access to them, or if you can get to them from the front, there are four bolts holding the rear rests in. There is an additional two bolts holding the rear seat seatbelts on the floor.

I think all the bolts are 13 or 14mm, but I can't remember for sure...

Very nice time!!

To my personnal experience, removing 200 lbs of a car would remove a good 0.2 sec of your 1/4 mile times. When I was drag racing in my Mazda mx6, I would run between 15.6-15.7 with my mods, and with a 170 lbs passenger I was never below 15.8. (and I run consistant time too)

I would guess that with no weight removal you would had run something like 14.0
