I pulled the trigger on a Summit White 07 Trailblazer SS w/50k miles for the wifey last week. It's got "certified preowned" status which gives me the 100k mile powertrain warranty. It seems to be well taken care of. Body and paint are perfect (not a single scratch or stone chip), interior is perfect, wheels are an 8 out of 10 with some chips in the clearcoat.
My question is...Is there anything special I need to know about the LS2? It won't be raced or abused, so I figure regular oil changes with good syn oil should suffice. Are there any common problems that I should be on the lookout for. Any extra special attention that the SS model requires?
I searched one of the TBSS forums, but didn't find the answers I was looking for. I figure since this is a site full of LTx/LSx gearheads, someone else in here probably has one, or knows alot about them.

One of our fellow autocrossers uses one of those as his daily driver and to tow his Boxster S autocrossser and his son's TDI Jetta Cup car. I don't remember him indicating any special care necessary. He tows with an open trailer that he parks a golfcart at the front cross-wise, and the Porsche tail-first to get the weight between the trailer wheels and hitch.

I'm sure others will chime in, but if you get no hits, LMK, and I'll ask him if there's anything special he does.
