Around 4,700lbs i think.

Evil turbo SS kind of brought this up, but whatever happened to the turbocharged I-5? Would anyone prefer seeing that in place of an LsX v8?

Extended Cab ZQ8 is 3526lbs., LS2 is a pretty light V8, 100-150lbs. extra maybe?

Turbo I5 should be used in a new GMC Syclone A lower boost turbo I5 would make a good H3 Alpha engine.

Colorado SS = 400HP LS2
GMC Syclone = 330HP Turbo I5
H3 Alpha = 290HP Turbo I5 (also make this avalible as an option in the Z71 Colorado )

 

lightweight with a powerful punch. I like the sound of that.

Excellent lineup.

 

Id love to get one of those with 4 seats and 4x4 ....
Why dont they ever make performace trucks that are livable all year yound and practical at the same time?

 

They did that with the Silverado SS and people cried about it. I'd like to see the SS package applied to all 3 cab configs on the Colorado. There should also be some sort of hi-performance Z71 with something like a low boost turbo or s/c I5.

 

A Supercharged I-5 making about 265hp would be fairly decent for like an option for a colorado. Also a 6.0 based v6 and also a 5.3 v8.

It would be kinda cool to get a preformance 4x4 like a Silverado SS Z71 crew cab with 5.3 v8 making 300 hp. Thing is it wouldn't tread on the ZQ8 or a Z85 Colorado cause with all the weight a z71 package puts it would be slower.

Also it would be neat for GM to make a SS silverado with the 2wd and Z71 model's with a 395 LS2 with 6 speed. You could put this powertrain on the Z71 Silverado or you can pick the preformance oriented Silverado with suspension, lowered ride height, ect ect.

 

Again, no info from the people in the know if we will see a ls2 Colorado SS in the near future?
