Why te hell does it cost 40 grand?? Wat does the SSR have that a regular cab 1500 doesn't that justifies jacking the price up 10 to 25 grand??? Hell , compare it to a Lghtning..Would you rather spend 8 grand more to have a slower truck????

I guess it all depends on what you're going for. Which do you think would turn more heads?

I was reading this story on AutoWeek a couple days ago and someone stopped me remarking over it and wandering what it was, so I don't think the general public is bored with it yet.

Great point jrp4uc.... sometimes I think I overlook obvious stuff like that....

BUT, at the same time, I would think it is the enthusiasts that would be the majority of people who would be interested in a niche vehicle like this... (though I am not one of them)

But a very valid point, nonetheless.

now all they have to do is ditch the front end and the engine
and replace with a bit less roundness and the 6.0 ltr

I guess your right. There are alot of people that buy a car because of what others think about it (ex. a $90k Mercedes). I buy a car bcause of what i think about it (ex. why sme guys own Gremlins)

Seems like alotta dough to turn some heads. Here's to GM's great sports truck line.
