Hmmmmmm......might we see some abandoned Lightning guys pick one of these up?

I'd like to see a LS7 stuffed under the hood instead of the LQ9 but, I'm glad they've finally went as far as they did.

Do you mean the Reg. Cab? Mine weighs 5220 with me in it and a 1/4 tank of gas. I weigh 230 and the hitch and spare are still there too.

Edit: Oh and I read everywhere that it is a 4L85e but I got the 4L65e

GM is still going wrong by not offering a reg cab 2wd SS....if they made that, i'd think the truck sales would go sky high since alot of people want that.

Well I expected a lot more out of mine. I installed the aem cai and I already have the pacesetters and ordered my tune. Should have better times when the temps come down.

I'm glad this is clarified. All the magazine an online articles have been saying 4L85E, then sometimes listing 4L85E gear ratios or even 4L60E ratios. They need to get their story straight.
