I thought it looked pretty good. Rocker arms and headers on a 5.3 is going to have it's hands full with a Rumble Bee though. I hope they 're running enough gear to make up for the 20's.

those rumblebees are a joke. i ran into one on the road when my truck was bone stock and i had my 20s on it and he only pulled about a half truck on me once we hit about 75-80. before that, i was ahead of him. i just dont think that this stupid version of a chevy truck would be worth the money.

Did anyone notice the custom "RSR" shifter option? WTF, does that thing have a 5 speed?

As for the hockey stripes, I think they suck. I'm pretty sure most first gen Camaro owners would agree. It's a rip off of a muscle car, just like the stupid Rumble-pee stripe. Also leave the RS package to the Camaros too. An RS truck sounds . JMO. Ditch the badging, stripes, and 5-speed and I think you have a decent package though.

I like the way they worded the shackles that it comes with...."2 inch rear lowering package". Those are just shackles right? Hmmm...

What do you REALLY think, VG?

I think the 'bringing back of the old stuff' like the SS name, stripes, etc. are cool as long as the new vehicle can back it up like the old ones could.

It would be nice if we could get stripper trucks with a LQ9 or LS1 w/T56, with no moldings, steel wheels and all... but I don't see those selling nearly as well as a truck dressed up like this with the same drivetrain package. Usually when people spice up the motors, they like to show it off a little, even when sitting still...
