sadly i knew this day would come. you pulled every trick out of the book to make the truck go faster. for a guy who made a 4500 plus truck run low tens, a corvette will be too easy to go fast. a colorado on the other hand are begging for a big V8 swap. as far as i know nobody has done one yet.

yep, seems to me as long as you stay in a bowtie and fulfill that adrenaline fix for "no one has done it yet", you should be happy. I gotta admit, stay away from the light stuff, making the heavy stuff fast is more of a recognizable feat...if that's what you're looking for that is...a feat.

Have they started producing the Colorado SS yet? I had saw some pictures of em and they look badass. Supposed to have the LS2 6.0 400Hp 400Tq going through a 4L70E Tranny in to a 9.5 inch rear w/3.73's.

I say you are very far from being finished with your current truck. Needs a good rear end, needs a better suspension,need to get it so you can make a pass at full boost, 26psi or more?? Hell, dont stop now, lets see how far you can take it

You could deffinately lift the tires on the colorado if you had some meats on the back. Im not a big fan of mini trucks but it would be cool to see you pull the front end. I bet those things weigh like 3000 at the most. Im forit. Bring your truck back to stock and put everything you have on there now on a colorado. Could be cool. I guess this means no AWD take offs...or does it?

i like the idea, this was my favorite truck of all time based on the same idea.

this truck was a 4x4 sonoma that was lowered with some Z06 wheels put on. other than that it looks stock from the outside. underhood is a 427 Gen III SB with twin's on it. all done by LPE.
