    2008 LS2 Colorado

    http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread/t-117605.html for pics

    VEHICLE HIGHLIGHTS:

    LS2 6.0L V-8 with 400 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. torque that exhales through a custom-built performance exhaust from the catalyst rearward
    Heavy-duty 4L70-E four-speed automatic transmission with floor shifter
    Heavy-duty 9.5-inch rear axle with a locking differential for added traction and a short 3.73:1 rear axle ratio for rapid acceleration.
    Weighing in at under 3,500lbs and with Front disc brakes measuring over 12 inches that are sourced from the full-size Chevrolet Silverado; rear disc brakes from the Chevrolet TrailBlazer; the SS should have no trouble hauling to a stop.
    Lowered suspension riding on brushed nickel-plated 20-inch Silverado SS rims
    Stylized interior with unique trim, bezels, and seats
    Custom exterior package with unique grille, fascias, flares, rocker extensions and tonneau cover.


    GM reached back in its musclecar era for this SS hauler. An air-induction system, tailored straight from the '70 SS Chevelle platform, provides cool air from the windscreen. At high speeds, the windscreen will build air pressure at its base. This pressure will help the pistons fill the engine's cylinders through the air induction ducts.
    2009 HHR SS automatic--- 350 HP - 450' LBS TORQUE,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDZgoSN8Gk0
    Mostly stock - K&N air intake, TTech engine mount, 2nd cat 'cored', E47.5 tune, Lighter - wheels/tires/rotors.
    13.0's @ 110MPH, street tires, 12.28 @ 112.67 best on slicks, 1.7s 60' ETs

    gm had 20 years to produce a v-8 s-10...never happened...we'll see if this ever comes to fruition.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    I dunno... There's ALOT of buzz about this one. The concept got alot more publicity than most of them do.. I think we may see this one...

    I know one guy who will be trading in his Colorado for one if it ever see production.

    Wink 2008 LS2 Colorado

    Thats one sick ride. I had a reg. cab. 2k5 4cyl colly w/ 3.73's and that thing moved nice. Gotta be the 4 valve, DOHC design. Even w/ Tq. Man. that thing burned some rubber. This LS2 in that light truck w/ some tracbars, should run 10s consistently.
