Please GM do something right... I guess its in the new Hot Rod mag...they are shooting for $23k-29k...I am down for that!!!

BigRed · 11-05-2002, 12:44 PM

Hell yeah, now that I like!!! I especially like the 6-speed and rear suspension that they added! Hope it makes it.

PHOENIX · 11-05-2002, 12:57 PM

That is a bad@$$ truck right there

Build it

bigblock73 · 11-05-2002, 01:15 PM

hmmm...might need to get me one of them!!

messed up c-10 · 11-05-2002, 01:18 PM

Now thats a new Chevy I like. If I ever get a couple new trucks they are gonna be a 4x4 toyota Tundra and that bad as$ SS if they build it.

c10scotty · 11-05-2002, 05:24 PM

pretty sweet

bigd65 · 11-05-2002, 05:32 PM

You notice they didnt show the front of it. i think they should have thought a little harder than they did on they front end grill area. i think it sucks, other than that yea im glad chevy is finally listening up like F@&D

Tom · 11-05-2002, 07:29 PM

Holy crap! Thats where the SS needed to start with, not that stupid as crap extended cab version. I was planning on buying a new pontiac GTO in about a year or two [max] but if this thing goes into production I dont know....

**Captkaos** · 11-05-2002, 07:37 PM

Here is the front.

Silveradoshorty · 11-05-2002, 09:02 PM

Man, that's my kind of SS. All black, basic interior, a motor that can shove you back in the seat when you mash the go pedal, suspension that will hook up, and six gears to bang! Where do we sign the petition to tell GM if they (as LOHRTBT so eloquently put it) want to pull their heads out, they need to build this thing now!

*racedvl* · 11-05-2002, 11:42 PM

SWEET!!! Too bad it's gonna have that fugly new front end on it...

It deffianetly an improvement but i would havee liked to see a different front end on it. But yes a very good step in the right direction if you ask me

ocbaud · 11-06-2002, 01:30 AM

the first time i saw the new frontends on the truck, i thought it looked like crap, but i love them now, i think they havent looked that good since 73-80

DITTO!

My brother and my dad still thinks they are butt ugly.

They need to have the reg. cab. be the SS.

Chevy started on the wrong foot with the ext. cab. POS with no power.

I think they have something really good here, and would probably have a good following behind it, in aftermarket parts.

I hope they make it.

Does anyone know if its still gonna be AWD?

chevychic · 11-06-2002, 03:18 AM

I saw this featured on Road and Driver or one of those type of shows about 6 months ago(same channel that Horsepower TV is on). Very impressive!! They took it for a run down the 1/4 mile and it did very nice. Don't remember the times exactly or maybe they didn't say but it sounds like it'll give the Lightening a run for it's money.
I made my mind up then that when I buy a new truck, that'll be the one!

I like the front end! Drop it, put a custom grille and a cowl hood on it and it would look sweet!

BTW~ in the same show they also mentioned a come back of the K5 blazer with the removable hard top. That could be FUN.

Looks like GM is finally making some smart decisions.

I hope they make them totally roof less. I had a 74 K-5 Blazer that had that option. It was so much fun with a roll bar in back to hang off of.

PHOENIX · 11-06-2002, 11:43 AM

I think it looks pretty good. I say give it more power and maybe paint the inlets in the front black to match the paint. Leave the exhuast the way it is in back (dont paint it).

I actually like the silver vents.
