You're welcome

I test cars for a living, While testing the Chevy TrailBlazer back in 2003, I noticed the acceleration is sluggish, that in itself surprised me a lot coz the T-Blazer is a 294 Gross Horsepowered vehicle (275 net Horsepower). I went back tio GM engineers and asked them, why is the accelration sluggish on such a relatively high powered vehicle ? knowing that the T-Blazer is not a heavy car. (Yes it's a car, I wouldn;t call the TrailBlazer a truck).

Anyway the response was : it's SUPPOSED to be sluggish, actually it's not "sluggish" it's smooth. the T-Balzer is a family SUV and should NOT have abrupt or hard acceleration specially when you have kids or women in the vehicle.

The T-Blazer is not a street rod, the Chevy S-15 Typhoon (if any of you remember it) is another story, that truck can do a tire burnout right from the dealer showroom.

The H3 (I am assuming) has the same "smooth" acceleration. the comon judgement error people make is that they judge the engine from ITS ACCELERATION. If it doesnt do a tire burnout, they tend to think the engine is weak. It's a common mistake.

Dont worry about the I5's underpower reputation, it's just the acceleration. I tested my H3 in offroad conditions on 4HI locked, the egine has enough power as it is....for the zillionth time WITH AC ON, hehehe.
