Hey GM! How about a new Silverado SS?
And not an extended cab all wheel drive boat anchor. I would love a regular cab rear wheel drive Silverado packing an LSA. I saw a sweet early 2000s Lightning earlier today and it gave me an itch.

I want them to bring it back. I also want to see an ultimate off-road truck.

I would love to see Ford come back with the Lightning. I wanted one of those trucks so badly back in the day.

I never could understand the notion of using a half ton platform for a sport truck. Go down a size & get rid over 1000 lbs of excess weight. An LS3 (or I suppose since its a truck ... L92) Colorado will have a similar power to weight ratio as an LSA Silverado. You can already get a 5.3L V8 in those trucks. They could pull some other drivetrain components from the L92 Silverado to keep it durable yet cheap.
Better yet ... use the Canyon & call it a Syclone

One pretty quick little pickup! I can see the draw of the full size sport truck though... hence what I drive now! You get the draw of a full size truck but top it off with a touch of sporty. For me its a pretty damn good combo! I would love to see a Silverado with a LSA and topped off with AWD. That one be a fun truck to drive! Last edited by ShnOmac; 06-19-2011 at 09:27 PM. |

I just don't like lowered trucks. If I want a fast vehicle, I'll use my Camaro. A truck should be for towing/hauling/off-roading.
But, I fully understand there's a big segment of car-buyers out there who like the lowered street/strip truck thing. I just never was able to understand the appeal, is all.
