I heard a rumor, and maybe you guys might know. In nov., I heard the 2007 SS will have a 6.2, 380 hp. Has anybody else heard this.

 

If it does get the 6.2L, it will have 403hp. It may get the new 6L80-E auto tranny as well. I guess it could get the 6.2L Denalli engine. It is rated at 380hp. I would hope for the 403 HP engine!
If it uses the same aluminum block, I wonder why it's 23 hp shy of the Escalade 6.2L engine.
More than likely it's all in the PCM program or different cam duration/ lift differences.
We'll just have to see.

Why would it have 403 hp, and not the 380? I wouldn't complain about the extra hp, but just wondering. Is its because its an SS? If the rumor is true, I'm buying one!!

 

The denalis will get the 403 version and the chevys will get the 380 version, the main difference is in the programing, i just think they want the more expensive denali with the better power.

 

According to Cars.com the 2007 Silverado keep the same 6.0 engine and the Denali get the 6.2.....

 

Sounds like yet another bad decision by GM..........and they wonder why their having problems................ Wake the F-up General!!
I love GM thru and thru but they test your allegance day afterday...year after year. So much potential and rendered weak by marketing and bean counters....someday they will learn I hope and pray.

 

Is the the OBS (06 style) or the redesign? Their draging there feet on the new redesigned trucks (like in 99). That's why I ended up with the old old body style!

 

you got to give them a break man.... they have a bigger market to worrie about besides dumb ***** like us trying to drag race a fullsize truck.......

lets face it... if they did everything we wanted them to do most of us wouldnt even buy it.... not cuz we didnt want it but by the time we got done building the truck that we wanted it would probibly cost more than vette...

personaly i dont want a fast *** truck from the factory.... then people know its fast and that is no fun..... i like to race cars that everyone knows is fast and wax that ***...... all i know is that half the reson that i love my truck so much is it has my blood and sweat in it and not GMs

 

I agree 100%

 

thats because the 2007 silverado SS is the same as the 2006 silverado SS. 2007 is going to be just like 99-00 where they have OBS and NBS trucks. Both trucks, the current and the GMT-900s will be sold as 2007s together.

But IMO I doubt the silverado SS will get the same engine as a denali or escalade, if anything it will get a more powerful engine. That woudlnt be much of a SSS now would it, better than the current one but still not much of one. I know GM makes stupid decisions at first, and that it takes them and while to get **** right but when they get it right its RIGHT. We saw the 6.2L supercharger engine pics a few weeks ago, we know its for a truck or an SUV... only options on that are escalade-v and SSS IMO. I definetly forsee a real SSS this time around.
