I'd take that black one over the white one for sure.
One thing though, if they just added a supercharger and didn't stregthen the bottom end then what's it good for?

What a joke that is. The graphics package looks gay and they charged $325 for a billet grille and $900 for a cowl hood!!!!!! That is such rip off. I could do all of that myself and save a bunch of money, not to mention the laughs I would get from that graphics job.... lol

As far as the graphics go, it is a love or hat type thing...but I bet people said the same thing back in the late 60's/early 70's when the AARs, Trans Ams, mod tops, etc had vibrant colors/graphics. Look what MOST people think of them now. This truck is cool IMO, especially for anyone who wants to buy it and go fast right out of the box. Sure, you can bolt on all the stuff yourself but that takes time and knowledge...and you also void your warranty in some cases when you add a supercharger...this dealer warranties the truck 3/36,000...WITH the supercharger included...I asked! Remember the COPO Camaros? They were dealer modified cars and look what they are worth now! I am not saying this truck will ever compare, but it will be worth more in 20 years than a plain jane truck that someone added a SC to. beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. -Jeff |

I agree with you on that. I am just a do it yourself kind of guy, but for those people who want a nice performance package on a truck right off the lot it would be a good deal.

Yeah If I ever get a new one with a Whipple...it will be dealer installed. THey have an agreement with GM on them! But the crappy part is if *when* you change the pulley...warranty gone! DOh!

My boss had a dealership install a supercharger on his wifes Tahoe. Since he bought it through them and had them install it pe factory specs. they allowed the original warranty to continues without void. He never had a problem and said that thing was a beast. He ended up taking off the charger and selling the tahoe stock and sold the charger to another guy with a tahoe, made out pretty good I suppose.
