Not slower according to Motor Trend..."Our Blazer AWD RS tester accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds" https://bit.ly/381BIxXWell I actually traded in my Camaro for the Blazer that I used to take to the track and race. I get that it is an SUV and not a Sports car. I was just curious if the AWD actually makes it slower.
