I think SVT is going to have something nasty brewing. They can focus all their attention on the Muffstang, and I would expect it to be pretty damn nasty. Plus if they come out with the L in 08 like they say, I bet it will be awesome. Just because they're not producing it doesn't mean they're not playing with it at the proving grounds. Now they have time to tweak and refine it.

Man...I'm surprised some people haven't learned. GM wants US to mod the vehicles they they make (the ones worth it anyway). They don't have a good track record of hitting the mark. At least since the early early seventies on back. Either the price has been too high or the performance less than expected. It's the dam bean counters at GM I tell ya.

Nice...but like the GN they were left dispite popularity. Been a long time and can't recall too well. Weren't they kinda pricey? mid 20's? Not sure.

Oh yeah people, I don't think it's a good sigh for any performance truck OR car to leave the market. It's what fuels the hp wars we love so much. It's the hp wars all over again. Enjoy it while it lasts and welcome the competition. Especially anything not import.

I'm the exact opposite...

Love the new (non existant?) ones. Old ones were too odd looking for me.

I also have a 03+ Chevy, so...

No L, seems like a good time for GM to cash in. The future vehicle guide on gminsidenews says there’s a good chance for a 400hp LS2 powered Silverado SS reg cab, and the Trailblazer SS with an LS2 as well. I can see being very possible, as the drive train combination already exists in the SSR.
