SS Silverado

Stopped at a Dorr Buick/ Pontiac/ Chevy in Sandusky, Ohioto see what Park Avenues he had outside - only one.

They had a black SS Silverado pick up truck outside. Starting price was $39,000 this one topped out at about $46,000

Had nice, plain looking aluminum wheels, SS letters on the door & tailgate. Basically looked like a regular Silverado.

It comes with the 6000 V8 and the window sticker actually had the MPG estimate of 13 City / 17 Hwy listed.

Never seen the MPG listed on a 6000 V8 truck before.

They need to take it a little further in my opinion with a revised interior. Either colored seats to match the exterior like the BMW M5 or suede like the Ford Lightning. And why doesnt it have a supercharger?

That truck is a piece... the exterior plastic air dams and front grate make it look cheesy, along with the plain grey aluminum 20's, whoopie it has another big motor that gets gallons to the mile, why not design something intelligently fast?

Because theres NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT! :-)

Actually, the SS needs a BIGGER engine! It should have the Vortec 8100 502 cu in engine instead of the Vortec 6000. 6 liters isn't big enough!

PDX,

300 HP & 360 Torque not fast enough for you?

Comon, Dodge has that R/T 10 Dodge ram that has the Viper motor in it and gets like 500 HP, they need to either throw a factory supercharger on the SS motor, or do some more aggressive ECU programming like you can do with a power programmer and just make people run 92 octaine in it.

What the F*CK are you smoking????????????????????????????

R/T 10 Dodge Ram had the basic cast iron V10 engine. There was a protype made with the Viper engine but all that made it to the public was the blue paint and stripes.

No, I believe he's right. It is the Viper Engine, and it's going to be made. Go here for the site :
