Circuit Rider has a new brother

My 70cst will never be used as a work truck so ... my new company car is a 2016 Chevy Colorado. Life is good.

Hopefully it is now in the body shop being worked on - I was told every panel as an area that will need some work done due to the tornado damage ...

Re: Circuit Rider has a new brother

Those colorados look pretty good. They really are no longer a "small" truck.

Re: Circuit Rider has a new brother

How do you like the Colorado? I'm guessing it's not the diesel?

Re: Circuit Rider has a new brother

It's a 6 popper ...

25mpg but it still doesn't compare to the Circuit Rider 👍

Re: Circuit Rider has a new brother

We have only seen one diesel canyon at my dealership here it was bought in under a day I sat in it started it and can safely say its the quietest diesel I have ever been in if I didn't know better I would have thought it was off

Re: Circuit Rider has a new brother

1970 Chevy 402 BB = 10-12 mpg max

2016 Colorado = 25-27 mpg.

But the 70cst still has that cool factor

Re: Circuit Rider has a new brother

Interesting ...

The Colorado 6 popper is rated at 305 hp.

My 402 BB is rated at 310 hp.
