Pretty much sums it up right there. We will never see a competitor to the Lightning or the Ram SRT-10. I wish the least they could do would be to at least give us an optional package to build a stripped down truck with the largest V8 they offer in a 2wd short box combination.

No matter what they build I sure wouldn't want it to look like that rolling piece of crap. It looks like two separate engineer teams started at opposite ends of the truck without knowing what either team was building and the result is what I just saw in those photos.

Why not just do a RCSB SS? Almost the same thing but with ricey bodywork, ugly wheels and tacky stickers. It could look cool, but I would do a black RCSB SS with the spoiler(a little different) and bed cover, black ARE steelies, and those yellow letter Goodyears. Lose the stickers, front bumper and color.
Then maybe I would buy it.
Oh yeah, add the Supercharged LS2.

Like Runin9s said it looks like a NASCAR Truck, thats exactly what Chevy was going for, every body has thier own opinions and thats good but it is a concept. Still don't know about production. Stock it does have the beefy drive train we wish we all had from the start. 6.0-liter LQ9 engine,low-restriction air box and cat-back exhaust system, a 9.5-inch rear end, lowered suspension, cross-drilled brake rotors and a 4-point roll cage wrapped around racing seats.
