you can get a 5.0 in a STX or XLT for $1,000 more than the base price of said models.. many guys on the forum have a 5.0 RCSB, one in particular has a Roush blower and makes almost 600 hp with stock internals

I like this truck. I'm curious on what the MSRP will be.
GM needs to make a factory 6.2 RCSB truck with a 4.10 gear. That would be a hot rod.

Im not sure the Lightning was a failure as suggested a couple posts ago... it was an SVT product so they werent out to sell record numbers.
I think its a good looking truck, but its not something I would consider as a full time truck. No back seats sucks in a truck, then add in a kids seat...

the last effort that GM made at a performance full size was the 454SS in early 90's

I myself would love to see a SBRC truck with a good motor, gearing and performance stance coming right from the GM factory. Until they do, I'll stick with building my 5.3L S10

Besides the Camaro SS everything you listed there is roughlyy 40k and most cosniderably more. A 6.2 RC Silverado would give GM an additional sporty vehicle more can afford. GM at one time was about affordable performance with the CHevrolet lineup. It needs to be again and this would be a great cheap way to do it while moving a few extra trucks. Heck, what R&D could there really be to make this happen? Also, Cyclone and typhoon were great, but not real entries as the Cyclone was built for 1 year and the Typhoon only 2. At the time they were outragously expensive (over 30k in 91!) and their reliability, well, there isn't any to really speak of. They have tried with the 454 SS which was pitiful for something carrying 454 CI and was killed by the first gen Lighning in every aspect. There were also lesser models such as the GT line for the Silverado and Sierra that provided the looks of the 454 SS with the old TBI 350. They tried again with the 03 Silverado SS, but this thing was simply obliterated by Fords Lightning and Dodge's SRT-10 trucks, not to mention a Ram Sport was basically as quick with the old Hemi and provided better handling. Same as with the GMC C3/Denali. And Ford has the various versions of the Mustang, the Focus ST, the Fiesta ST, the taurus SHO, and now the Tremor. Also, their performance vehicles fall in a more affordable range than GM's performance cars. |
