So with 10.9:1 compression, 390hp this thing only runs high 13s? Thats weak! They need to put that engine in a reg cab truck where it belongs.

Those SSRs look so small and light, but there pigs.

I must agree, the thing is UGLY! As if the PT cruiser (hearse for midgets) was not gay enough, Chevy had to go back in time and ruin some of the coolest looking old trucks there were.
