psualumni Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 http://amp.timeinc.net/thedrive/news/18737/800-horsepower-yenko-sc-silverado-is-the-performance-pickup-truck-chevy-is-scared-to-make?source=dam/URL] Ford has had the Raptor for years. Dodge is heavily marketing the Rebel. Why has GM not entered into the market with a response? SYC anyone?

matslp488 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 GM doesnt care for making performance trucks because theres not a market for them..most people will buy a loaded crew cab or even a dually for less and use it as a truck.... seriously who in the world would spend 100K for a single cab truck?? You gotta really want it to spend that much on it... You can build your own for a lot less... at 100K youre already hitting exotic car territory....

yanrider Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 http://www.chevrolet.com/trucks/colorado-zr2-off-road-truck Just need a Silverado ZR2 and we're almost there! I just made my own....was way cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsanders347 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 It would take an absolute fool to pay that kinda money for that truck. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psualumni Posted February 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 I agree there is no way I would pay 100k for a truck, I would build my own for much less. The point being GM could produce in mass a Silverado SS in the price range of a LTZ. They still make SS packages on so many other Chevrolet models, don't tell me they are loosing money. Don't tell me there is no market either. Ram and Ford sales numbers justify the production of the Rebel and Raptor, as would the production of a Silverado SS. Obviously people still want trucks like this, that's why this site is around and someone made the SYC Silverado. It's a small niche I understand, but it exists.

jsanders347 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 What I don't understand is why "performance" vehicles need navigation, headed seats, cooled seats, heated steering wheels, climate control and all that other bs. Granted I love that my truck has some of said features but I'd rather have a coyote mustang with just the basics. Crank windows, manual locks and regular a/c. How much cheaper would they be? How much lighter would they be? Automobile manufacturers have been skewed by the rich. Offer a striped down model for the working man.

Amazi Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Well GM and Chrysler did go bankrupt. I'd take a raptor for a new sport truck, and mustang gt for sports car. Ford announced the new raptor will be around I think I saw 45k range, and the new gt starts around 32k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rholston Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Would you pay that kinda cash if you had bottomless pockets? Edited February 25, 2018 by Rholston (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, if I wanted a truck with that power I'd get a hellcat or demon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rholston Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Yeah, I wouldn't pay $46,995 for the "supercharger upgrades" on top of the truck price. They are claiming that only 25 are being made. I bet Jay Leno gets one in his garage though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psualumni Posted February 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) I'd pay $50 - $60k for a short cab bells and whistles 6.2l supercharged 2019 Silverado SS with a 6 speed manual transmission and 4WD. All ordered from the dealer with factory warranty. Just sayin'.

psualumni Posted February 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Yeah, I know. I think that's excessive too. Read my previous posts. That's just my opinion on what a 2019 Silverado SS should cost. My point of this entire thread is Chevrolet should produce a Silverado in the SS package around the LTZ Z71 package price range. I think that would sell, and I would buy it. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk I think a lot of us on here are more into building and customization vs buying it off the shelf. Even if the vehicle had all the 'bells and whistles', we'd still find something to do to it.
