I don't why GM will not do such a thing, and I think thats why many of you buy the hemi's, unless you are just die hard dodge fans. But if you go to motor trend SS vs Hemi, it will show a comparison, keep in mind the SS does weight 1500lbs more. Check out the last page of it. I don't know how to get a link on here, if someone does, please help with it. http:/www.motortrend.com/roadtests/pickup/112_0310_sport_truck_comparison/

That said, 7K+ is a bunch of weight and lord knows the non deisel engines are under a big strain with such a load. What bugs me most though, is seeing the sagging rear and "jacked up" front ends of 1/2 tonners towing heavy loads. Sometimes it's just downright scary to look at 'em.

HEHEHEHE i guess im with the slow crew on this one. But if it was not for that supercharger on the lightings it would just be another Ford on the slow lane. J/K I guess we all think that our truck is the top of the line performance truck.

you never know.
you never know.
Personally, I expect a S/C'd truck before the B.D. anyway, but NEVER with the same engine used in the ZO6. That's as insane as Dodge using the Viper engine in the Ram. There isn't a point in GM making the same type of mistake.
