Last-Gen...and 1-of-1... LS7 trucks were for grins 'n giggles only.

On the "SS badge" deal, call your local GM dealer and, for less than 20 bucks, you can put 'em anything you like... I'm old enough to remember when a 250 cu. in. 6-cylinder full-size RWD Impala could be factory-ordered with the all-important SS package. sure did make the folks on Woodward Avenue nervous...with laughter...

I hear the LT1 fits in the new colorado.

If GM builds a sport truck I'd much rather them build something to go up against this.

That Raptor F150 will be tough to beat by anyone....

It's too bad they didn't build this. My father would have been all over it. He is a Short bodied full size truck guy. He doesn't want a long bed or a long cab. He was looking at the Silverado SS in 2006 and was saddened that it only came in extended cab long bed. He ended up getting the Trailblazer SS. He figured at least it was the same size as a standard cab, short box and it had more power than the Silverado SS.

You should know better, that GMC doesnt stand a chance.

You obviously missed the bold-print header: LPE REAPER (as in Lingenfelter...)

There wasnt no bold-print header just a jacked up GMC pickup that wont ever in this life compete with a F150 Raptor. Never gonna happen but you can keep your fingers crossed.

I like the raptors and everything but I'd be steered away from them with their frame issues.

"Frame issues" caused by hitting foot+ high kickers at obnoxiously high speeds that frankly no truck would fare any better at. Most would actually do much worse.

I mean let's be honest, did you even read up on how these "issues" happened? Or are you just regurgitating 3rd hand internet forum info?

It would be cool if they did but they need it to be better than the last one. That one didn't deserve the name or price tag. A 5.3 short wide bed single cab was faster than that truck. I remember during that time they were putting the SS name plate on everything and most of those cars didn't deserve the badge.

This.

Caprice? Sure.
Impala? Alright.
Monte? Ok.

But then there were
Silverado
The Cobalts
HHR
TB
S10
SSR
Malibu...and even the MAXX got SS badges
There are probably others but I don't recall them all.

They did go a little overboard.
