Default really ticked!!!!!

just read april gm hightech. what the heck. we have over 300hp front wheel drives coming to gm's lineup what is wrong with gm. u can get 400 and 500hp cars but the biggest motor i can get is 345hp....in an xcab. what the crap? next thing you know people will be towing crap with their gto's and their grand prix's heck im still mad about the camaro. are they trying to kill off the trucks too. j/k. seriously, though at least give me a 400hp xcab(w/o using forced induction). who knows maybe itll be fun for everyone to watch granny's 4 door front wheel drive impala raping a truck...not. i know gm caters to the upper class but eventually the working class is who theyll need to focus on cuz the working class make love like rabits and the upper class will not be the majority bringing in all the sales...<dont know what that was all about, im just ticked. ford and honda are looking better every day

well, lets see if they come out with the 400 hp single cab for 06 as the closeout year. otherwise, i hope they bring some meat to the table for us in the new design.

400 hp in a truck would be nice but I would hold my breath.

A true sport truck in RCSB configuration with a HO 6.0L LS2 from GM would be nice but, I think we're gonna be stuck modding our trucks to be like that or better for now.

Yes, It sure would be nice if an auto manufacture would build a rcsb truck that you could put the highest rated HP motor in it to go racing at an affordable price that a working man could buy..........oh wait a minute, what about the laughing stock of the big 3? How about just biting the bullet and get yourself a Dodge?

Sorry guys, I am a die-hard Chevy fan, always will be, but what the hell can you cheer about at the bow tie dealer today? The last blow was the redesign of the vette; I think it looks a little to euro to me.

In the fall of 2002 was a sad day in the history of Chevrolet, went to buy a new truck or car at the dealership and all they had were AV front end style of the ’03 truck, sorry maybe those trucks will grow on me in time and for cars………rows and rows of the Monte Carlo and whatever uninspired new designs GM thought we would want.

Ended up buying a used 02 Z71………….I think that will be the last year of cars the Chevy made sense.
