That'll probably come sooner than an SRT-10 killer. This whole website is full of guys that are creating trucks similar to what they wished for when they bought it. Big ci RCSB's with 6spds, steep gears, FI etc.
If the bean counters have more pull then what the public wants via focus groups, then retro a friggin' Canyon/Colorado like a Syclone and your done. The old guys will get on it because it's retro and fast. The young guys will dig it because it's a turbo AWD vehicle that's fast. The bean counters will like it, because it'll knock down 30mpg. Aftermarket will be happy too. World's fastest truck...again.
Rant off.

the ls7/t56 rcsb is already available, but only as a conversion by a aftermarket company/tuner
i doubt gm will EVER produce a rcsb truck with over 400hp in this generation, it could compete with the vette and they wont do that, we might get a detuned verison of that motor but nothing within 5-10hp of it, even though the vette weighs a good bit less than a rcsb

I wish the manufacturers would stop treating reg cab buyers as second rate people. Thing is, the tundra can be ordered with 380hp (very impressive to drive BTW, shame about the rest) so I think GM might feel some heat to build their own.
I'm pretty sure since I just bought an 07, they'll do it 08
