The 2WD Silverado SS features a new 9.5-inch ring gear in the rear differential that will be offered in more models next year.
This (9.5-inch ring gear) will start allowing us to put the performance levels above what we’ve had in the past,” said Michael Tulumello, vehicle line director for GM’s fullsize trucks.

Also making the SS package available in LS trim is a good idea, gets the price down.
I can see it now 2007-2008 RCSB SS 6L80E, 9.5" axle, LS7 power, or boosted LS2.

Is it just me or does that truck look kinda tall? I agree with the fact that GM needs to come out with a RCSB SS. The only difference is I'd like to see something reminescent of the 60's muscle cars: basically 4 wheels and a big motor with power nothing (except for power steering and air conditioning of course). All of what you need; none of what you don't.
