Default What do YOU want in the next Silverado SS?

We all know how the general likes to tease us with sick concept trucks only to either water them down substantially (by no means trying to poke fun at anyone's SSS) or not make them at all. With that being said with the GMT900 out and the 427 Silverado concept shown, what do YOU want in the next Silverado SS? AWD? RWD? standard/auto? 6.2L/7.0L? N/A or Blown? Appearance? etc. etc.

That sounds like my kind of truck, the only thing I'd be concerned with is price. I would hate to see it cost as much as the SRT-10's did when they first came out!

Keeping it reasonable, a 2wd LS3 with 6 speed auto 20s standard and optional 22s with it dropped several inches and leveled. Optional White SS Leather Interior...offered in single cab! Moonroof! Sterio system with a little extra. Navigation/gps and other little goodies.

BUT, a 427 would be awesome, just don't think it'll happen

4 wheels and a motor; no ext. cab, no p/w or p/l, no big *** heavy wheels. Just a simple muscle truck with a staggered stance; by that I mean 18's front and rear with the rear being something like a 18x10 tucked up tight and narrower ones in the front with a mild drop. Although I still have the NBS SS in my head when I think of this so obviously a NNBS will be a little different with its high stance and gigantic wheel well openings.

I would trade for a SCSB AWD LS2 with a 6 speed auto. leather seats, mild drop with lightweight 18X9 wheels and a little suspension work.

I would settle for a RCSB with AWD at least as an option. Drivetrain could consist of 6.2L/6L90E/14 bolt rear. The 6.2L could have a blower on it too since GM is gonna be making a few vehicles with the blown 6.2L.

The above vehicle as an SS wouldn't hurt my feelings. Sounds kinda like the Coolside trucks they have teased us with for years.
