Seriously, any insight on why this hasnt or wont happen? The motor has already passed polution in a half ton.

ITS NOT NECESSARILY PASSING IN A 1/2 TON... AS MUH AS PASSING FOR THE GVW OF THE VEHICLE YOU ARE PUTTING IT IN... THEN THE INSURANCE COMPANIES GET AHOLD OF YOU.... AND GM HAS TO LOOK A LIABILITY AS A WHOLE IF THEY PRODUCE SUCH A TRUCK THEY ARE PRODUCING IT "KNOWING WHAT IT CAN DO, AND WHAT DANGERS COME FROM THAT

Unfortunately You Cannot Legally Sign Away Your Rights...
Just Like Dealers That Have You Sign A Contract That You Must Use Mediation, And Cannot Sue First.... Is Bs... You Can Never Sign Away Your Rights To Sue Anybody.... You Just Cant Do It...
Plus The Liability Is Always There, Not To Mention Someone Can Argue They Didnt Understand What They Were Signing... Just Think If People Werent So Sue Happy Now Days.... Maybe We Could Make The Cars We Want....

I was kidding more than anything. 
Thanks for being our link to GM. And tell them to build a REAL Silverado SS. If Ford found a way to build the L, and Dodge the SRT-10 Ram, GM can build a proper sport truck. 
At least a 6.0 LS2 and 6 speed. Pretty please?!

So Dodge can get away w/ a viper engine in a 1/2 ton, and Ford a ~400 hp supercharged engine?
But we're asking for too much for a 6.2l RCSB??

Its Not That We Dont Want To Do The 6.2 Its That There Are Bean Counters.... And Insurance Advisors.... That Always Drop The Knife On Everything Good We Design....
But With The G8 On The Horizon... As You Can See Gm Is Going The Right Way....
They Are Finally Starten To Losen The Constraints We Are Presently Under... And Giving Us More Room To Make Stuff
