Well I just saw my first pics of the new Chevy "SS"......and once again, i'm proud to say that i'm so glad that about 5 years ago i converted to a Ford Truck....ok, explain this to me....regular cab truck with a 6.0L 395 horsepower/ 409 ft lbs of torque be priced at the speculated price of $39,000?....give me a break....i'm sure the price will come down a bit by the time it hits showroom floors, but i do not seeing this truck selling well.....the thing doesnt' have any carpet in it....the only thing that i see that it has that a lightning doesn't, it offers a 5 spd manual tranny.....Well, just my quick opinion of this so called "SS"....oh and if you can see any pics of this truck.....take a look at how close the rims resemble the Lightning rims?.......hmmmmm.......Chevy can't even design a rim on their own......lata

 

chevy had those rims before ford did.they had them on some of there vans in the late 90's

 

Another significant differentiator-All wheel drive.

 

FYI, the speculated $39,000 is for the awd ext. cab 345hp pickup with leather, etc. The speculation from Hot Rod magazine is that the regular cab version be priced at around 23,000. I feel sure that this will not happen but I do see Chevrolet building the regular cab and pricing it around 28-30K. There is already a post about the SS with pics and the correct information on this board.

 

dont know about other posts about the ss short bed version but the chevy boys at the sema show said it was not going to be produced.course the one i saw at the show was a 6 speed or so i was told.

 

The Pickuptruck.com article says that it is a 6sp T-56 out of f-bodies. Also state that it will be priced just under $30,000.

 

is it a floor shifter? must be LONG throws..

personally w/ this much torque, i'm glad we have the 4R100...

also, i wouldn't mind a stripped version of the L....to save cost...think about it...throw out the radio, sound deadening, suede seats (even though i like em a LOT)...and get some manley rods in there
