My wife told me earlier tonight that she had just seen a commercial for a "Chevy Thunder" Has anyone ever heard of it or is it another GMC concept vehicle that will never hit the roads? Should I be worried?

Yea you should be really worried, My neighbor has one, It ran a 12.0 stock, he chipped it and ported the heads and it now runs low 11`s and low 10`s w/NOS. The truck dynoed at over 460 HP in stock form. You better sale yours to me for a nice chep price sal 15k and go buy a real truck a chevy. If you see them on the road run in the opposite direction, they wont be nice to you.

Hey Burninout101,

If I should be so worried, how come I have never seen any action on these trucks on this site or on any street in Ontario.Another GMC illusion!!!!!

A little slow on the uptake, are we...?

 

It's not that HORSE9 is slow, it the language barrier of the great white north .

 

Chevy Thunder: 1/2 ton sport side standard cab 5.3 liter pickup. Modifications made by Courtesy Chevrolet in Phoenix, Arizona. Whipple non intercooled supercharger, Edelbrock TES headers, Borla cat back exhaust, 18 inch tires and wheels, lowered suspension. Stock 1/2 ton transmission, stock 1/2 ton rear end. Claimed 400+ hp. Seen one run at my local track--high 14.'s-low 15's, saw a Lightning running low 14's at the same time (90-95 degrees temp).
Not sure if this is what you are talking about, but this is the only one I am aware of.

 

when the CHEVY THUNDER appears to you lightnings you will know then that all your *** belong to it

his truck weighs like 5300lbs i think he said...

his 5.3 seems to be kinda strong...

Chevy does have a new THUNDER edition out, at least up here in Canada they do. Its just a regular exteneded cab with a cheesy THUNDER decal on the side, and its basically just a package you can order which changes a few things in the interior etc...no power increase from what I'm aware

 

My dad had a '98 S-10 Thunder with a 4 banger in it. The Thunder package is just a cosmetic package. Looks like a poor person's version of the one on the Extreme.
