SEMA: Chevrolet Silverado 427

Yeah I agree. Chevy (and it's fans) really missed out on the sport truck scene. A Lightning is a very intimidating truck, but a Corvette-sourced truck? That would give GM some notoriety.

This is not my style but I bet GM would sell every single one it made, easily.

GM will never build this truck in my opion because it WOULD sell every one of them and it WOULD be the most popular truck on the road. Im a huge GM fan but they never seem to build what the people want.

all you guys are crazy, Chevy would build this truck, but it would not have a 427 under the hood, it may be the preveiw of the SS

Seems to me GM is late for the party yet again. The Lightning and the SRT10 already did their shot at fame. The world said "Hey, that's cool" and then moved on.
 
Like the HHR it showed up for the party just as everyone else was putting on thier coats and going home.

The HHR is selling pretty well, actually.

And, a really sharp interior to round out the whole package. A lot of folks might actually want to drive this sports car with a bed. I don't believe the sport truck trend is anywhere near over with.

If Gm were to actually build this, I would suspect that it would not have the LS7, but rather a variant of the 6.0 LS2 that is found in the current Trailblazer SS and the SSR. Not anywhere near as potent as the LS7, but still better than the previous attempt at an SS with only a slightly modified 6.0 stuck into a heavy ponderous AWD platform.

The party never started for the lightning, SRT, or the Chevy SS. Sounds good in theory but none of the fast trucks have ever made their sales goals. It wouldn't be worth the production costs to sell 10,000 of these a year.

I agree this maybe a preview for the SS model but with a majority of society especially soccer moms picky about gas mileage it might not be a hit. the SRT folded, the lighting fizzed out, and the SS models never really met their sales goals even though they did post strong sales.

The Lightning only fizzled because Ford has such long production cycles. Who's gonna buy a new niche vehicle that looks just like the one produced 5 years ago?

i say this truck this way would be awsome this is just wat chevy needs to put them on top think about each american truck had there turn in the spot light first it was the lightning then viper truck now chevy needs there turn to have the worlds fastest production pickup if this truck doesnt have the ls7 427 its point less because then u couldnt say there on top i garuntee u if chevy has the balls to make this truck it will  be a great seller but an awsome 1 even if they made 500 a yaer 1000 so rare every1 would want 1 and u no they said they were gonna make the new lightning truck to 550 hp wit the gt 40 motor never did said it was to much to make no 1 would by and guarantee that was a big mistake look at dod ge they did it it wasnt the best seller but it didnt have look of this ss and another wat would make it dont call it an ss callit the 706 silveradoe that would even turn more haeds then they would no it had the 505 hp 706 motor jus sayin ss well it dosent really get it out there especially for people wo wouldnt no wat kinda motor wat would be in it they would saay o it jus hasd the 6.0 and for me that wouldnt cut it im teling right now i found out about this truck today and already ive got in touch wit least 70 cousin never mind other people who said wow thats the baddest truck goin it tops um aall and it does if chevy was smart they would realese this truck right away

just to let you know the current silverado ss already has a 6.0L engine i dont understand why u think they wouldnt put the 7.0L Z06 in this awesome truck.. or i at least hope they do cause i want one

Aonther 50 to 60k price tag. If I was going to spend that kind of money it would be on a vette. Chevy just cant get this one right. The Lightning will always be KING. Brand new for 32k and a grand for mods and you have a low 12 sec pick up. It just dont get much better than that.

I just saw this truck last weekend at the Richmond NASCAR race and it is amazing. From what I have heard it is planned for production and the SRT-10 and Lightning don't even come close to this truck. 0-60 in 3.6 and 1/4 mile under 12. This was the main info I saw listed that wasn't found online.

This truck the way it is is perfect. I'd gladly pay 50-60k with a 30% interest rate to own this. Ford, ford is a joke. My 5.3 Texas edition silverado will pull your powerstroke diesels. Our 6.0 early model SS will outrun your lightning. If chevy made this, it would without a doubt beat the srt-10. Our blocks are better than their srt blocks. Only if they has the power to match we would be greater, the 2010 camaro SS will prove that. And yes your mustangs will be the chearleaders for that race. Build it chevy, shut these no-knowing punks up!
