I truly wanted to build a Suburban for autocross (weird, I know) but a Blazer seemed more practical at the time. I also liked the Blazer because it was a squarebody and it has a 10-inch-shorter wheelbase that would be better for autocrossing. I thought that being 10 inches shorter, along with removing all the 4WD stuff and the hardtop, would drop the weight below 3,500 pounds. I was wrong."
