Why wont they give it the LS2? Trailblazer SS, SSR both get it...

 

cause they might sell then.

 

Ya.......that's the first thing that went through my mind.....

 

And the REG CAB option GM has been teasing us with since the 99' gold stepside concept, 2000 black stepside with flames, and the best of all, the 02'
fleetside SS RC shown at SEMA and Woodward Dream Cruise!! One hot truck!!
GM, buyers waiting to buy this one!!

 

Front end, generic Chevy Truck, almost too cartoony.....remake anyone?
(That's what I mean about assigning an "SS" badge to a not so Super vehicle... )

The Concept "RED" truck looks like NASCAR truck series, should've been a Colorado.

 

GM is once again a day late and a dollar short. If they made a regular cab, stuffed an LS in there with a six speed tranny, they would have a runaway winner. Unfrotunately, it would probably take GM five years to bring it to production after it went through commitee, marketing surveys, proxy, etc,etc. All the while DCX will bring out an SRT8 Ram, already brought out the mega cab, have an SRT10 QC etc, etc. That is why I have become a DCX man.

 

LS2 has not been certified for the GMT800 trucks and with the GMT900 due out soon it will probably not be. The LQ9 is a good motor and will do the job fine, I see it that way and so does Chevy-deal with it.

 

It is funny how even though it is the fastest Ext cab truck on the market everone still thinks it is slow

it will be a low 14's truck for under $30K (after rebates and what not) This truck will give LT1's a good run for the money and still be able to tow a boat, seat 5 (maybe 6), and haul 20 sheets of plywood.

 

It can also out run an econobox while hauling 5 people, with 10 sheets of plywood in the back, and towing a small jet ski.

 

I second what Lutz says about offering an Affordable SS instead of a super fast expensive model. I buy a truck for doing work. If I want to go fast, I'll buy a Vette, GTO, Cobalt, maybe eventually a Camaro... WTF is up peoples asses about fast trucks. Retarded if you ask me, they are not designed to be racers. I think the NasTRUCK whatever has gotten into too many peoples heads and they are very *Confused*...

 

I used to have the same feelings that you do....

Now, though, my view has changed... Since buidling our house, I have found that I almost HAVE to have a truck of some sort for all the stuff I need to buy and move...

That being said, not everyone wants to have two vehicles.

So.... if you like performance, but need or want a truck... vehicles like these fit the bill.

 

I agree with Darth...

We just built a house and I and putting my little beater truck to USE! My Trans Am now sits in the garage most of the time. The only one-car practical solution for me would be a "performance" truck. I need the hauling capability, but I need the HP fix as well.

I'm still waiting for the LS2 Colorado

 

That is you Silverado SS

 

That is FUGLY
