Probably too political to clarify without getting into trouble and sparking a heated debate. So I will leave you with these questions...

Who controls US power grid as of just a few days ago?

Who manufactures most of the worlds EV batteries under zero environmental regulations?

Who is really behind the push for forced EV through .gov sale restrictions in the next decade?

Marketing dollars again well spent by GM. The deposits and sales from Senegal will come pouring in.

The amount of fossil fuels expended and pollution created on air travel, etc. to transport these evs and all their support teams to several of the world's most remote locations must also be a source of pride. Not to mention building tracks and road courses where they never existed before. That must be some sort of benefit for the earth's environment. Go EVs! and save the planet!

A few extra questions. Are adversaries that media/edu/law harp against legitimate? Do those threatened with pulled impunity have real control? Are those pulling those harp-strings just tools themselves?

Are we more religiously stupid than the cavemen that spread out from the last ice age? Would they have ever let anyone take away their right to fire?

Not soliciting replies. Just rhetorical.

Whatever happened with the Silverado ZRX? Seems like we saw a possible prototype a while back and that was it.

Rumors it was renamed to ZR2, not ZRX. Aligns with Colorado. Likely no more power just like Colorado ZR2. The Chad Hall racing truck is basically the truck as I understand it testing right in front of us.

As always, GM is dead last to the game in a red-hot segment (performance full-size trucks). Even with the Trail Boss selling so well, GM is still many months away from a ZRX release. They are so focused on selling 17 different CUV's that are all eerily similar, except for them all varying in length by ~1". EV is another huge focus of theirs, and we GM performance folks are left to only dream about TRUE performance cars and trucks that other manufacturers have brought to the market months/years ago.

My advice: If you enjoy modding, buy a GM and mod it yourself for much cheaper and many times, even stronger than what they would bring to market anyways. It is what I do.

That’s what I did. I have a 2018 Colorado Z71 that I lifted, swapped in some Dirt King control arms and put on KO2 33s.
