Exclamation SS Silverado

Did any of you guys read this months chp about the 2wd ss???? AWD...14.99....2WD.....15.1 +!! I don't want to give up to info. I wasn't impressed with the results. The 2wd weighs 480lbs less..Thats all I want to say about this.. I don't want to spoil it for those of you who hadn't read it yet.

I'm sure traction off the line is an issue with the 2WD.

ya, idk, sounds like some unskilled drivers to me. Either that or some serious traction issues.. maybe heat was a factor too.

That is badass, 14.86 bone stock. I know that I would like to have a 2WD but the fact that it snows like a **** here in the winter the AWD sure is nice to have.

There must have been some traction issues when they were testing, I would think that the 2WD version is definitely faster.
