Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

Those SRT8's are sweet. I owned an AWD GMC '01 Sierra C3 (1st Denali truck) for nearly 5yrs and loved the grip the AWD gave that big 5200lb ext. cab truck. Front wheels would help pull it thru a corner and you can go just about as fast in the rain as you can dry....and ...4 wheel drifts are awesome!

I really like the mid-size performance SUV idea (2WD and AWD)..... but had to stick with a Chevy...
