just curious why GM hasnt made a performance truck...id hardly consider the current SS a performance vehicle...anyway....an 07' RCSB with a reworked 8.1 makin 450hp. & 500lb.'s conservatively...with a 6spd...and just alll Black n bitchin ...sa*weet! even with an LS2 thad be fine, ooo and wit those base model alloys damn theyre sweet....gm is weird man they make me mad.

 

they'll never make a true performance truck because of how the overpriced srt-10 ram sold and they as a corporation dont see there to be a large enough market for the truck

even if they did make it it would be so overpriced it would be ridiculous, i mean the ss is already 40K+ if they made a rcsb ss it would be 50k+ and not many would buy them

 

the 8.1's do not impress me at all and are overrated..the ls2 would be a good performance motor for it

 

and remember the 8.1L is now dead for 07 so

a true ss IMO, and actually a realistic one at that would be a rcsb awd ls2/l92( either or) with maggie and specially geared 80e

 

There are rumors going around 08 will be a 500+ hp small block ss with a aggressive body kit. it was over on another site that talk about all the upcoming GMs. I would think it would probably be a blown 6.2 with 6 speed auto behind it.

 

i didnt know the8.1 was gone....o welll wasnt too impressive anyway...and this l92...im assuming its the new 6.2 right??? havent done any research on it yet ...ahh ill find out..... it makes since chevy wouldnt mass produce a nice ss shortebed...but at least offer it in special order for those who want and are will ing to pay right???

 

I'm relieved that there is no chance of getting a 8.1L in a sport truck. That would be adding just too much weight over the front tires. A high strung smallblock around 6L would be alot more fun to drive, especially since the 8.1L barely had any top end. 500 hp at 6000 rpm is a requirement for a good time.

 

I am curently making an 04 ss. I have an LQ4 on orde, magnachage with wet nitrous kit. SS font bumpe and body clading, reg. bed...leather and suede interior um....big mouth grill and twin scoop hood. I have some 20's here 4.56 gears a 4/6 dop and a T56 comming tomorow....Is that what you had in mind LOL.

 

now THAT would be an SS

like hotrod suggested years ago, have berger chevrolet or gmmg produce an SS, why not a ZL1 SuperTRUCK?

just some food for thought

 

well...going by hear say..and working at a chevy dealership...
ive heard that the ls7 is going in a rcsb pickup...they already have a concept of this out for 08...im not promising anything but thats what we've heard
