I just don't understand why Chevy does this. They always build a crazy SEMA show vehicle and then none of the stuff makes it to production. I mean seriously, do you really think the engine they put in their 75k caddy is gonna be put in a truck? And if the carbon fiber isn't going to make it to production, why even put it on there? Why not just build the truck that's gonna be available to us, not some "churched" up version that will never see the light of day....

that suspension wouldn't last 10 minutes with some abuse and that blown motor

all that it would take is one instance at full throttle and a little air time . . . tie rods get taco'd and blown out shocks

It would be a great Cali mall cruiser

looks way better than the raptor, but GM needs to ditch the carbon fiber

the suspension is not heavy duty, its just a BDS lift kit and a better drivetrain, the raptor is built to take abuse, thats what makes it more than a lifted F-150
