ZR2 LT4/8 speed trans swap from Lingenfelter
You can bet your bottom dollar that this thing would be pretty hairy! 720hp?

Apparently FCA is willing to build basically this. Come on GM.

It's cool, but not really usable power if you do off-roading.

100% agreed. It's simply for the enjoyment of modding. Create a beast that nobody else has seen before. That's cool in my book.

GM would never. I’m still surprised the ZR2 even made it on dealer lots.

It appears that the upcoming ZRX Silverado is going to follow this same blueprint as well. From the rumblings, it will essentially be a full-sized ZR2 and will use the 6.2L engine that is already available in other Silverado models. An extra 40-50 ponies would be nice, but everything that I am hearing, GM will stay the course and simply pull a 6.2L off of the shelf and put it into this new variation.

Maybe we get a version of the LT2 in this truck at 500hp or so.

Ugly truck...
GM needs to build an equivalent to the Raptor, but a V8 boosted.

That is the first time that I've heard someone say the ZR2 is ugly. To each their own.

GM may be successful at that though. There are quite a few "never own a raptor with a v6" crowd that would consider other brands if equivalent performance. The Ram TRX still coming for sure? |
