In the hallowed tradition of SS-badged Chevrolets such as the Chevelle, Camaro, and awesome 1990-93 454 SS Sport Truck, the Colorado SS show vehicle sets a new benchmark for road-going performance. The Colorado SS launches with 400 horsepower from the 2005 Corvette’s LS2 and then benefits from a complete package of high-performance features.

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.

Front disc brakes measuring over 12 inches that are sourced from the full-size Chevrolet Silverado; rear disc brakes from the Chevrolet TrailBlazer.

Lowered suspension riding on brushed nickel-plated 20-inch SS rims.

Stylized interior with unique trim, bezels, and seats.

Custom exterior package with unique grille, fascias, flares, rocker extensions and tonneau cover.

I'm impressed, but I will have to believe it when I see it on the lot.

just go buy a lightning....

i cant wait to see the next one that ford puts out...i hear it will beat the viper-truck

i wouldnt be suprised at all when this comes out, it would be a smart thing to keep up with the lightning and the viper trucks. although lightings are overrated.

Lightning will not be out. Has been discontinued for a while.

I have debating getting one for the past 5years. No one would know what hit them. I would rather get the typhoon then cyclone. "Hey honey, it has plenty of room for the kids" will be my sorry excuse for the new family car.
