Silverado SS (Overpriced POS)

I saw a brand new one in the parking lot of this golf course I go to. So I stopped by to look at it because it still had the stickers in the window. It was Red with OEM 20's, leather, V8 and all that BS. The sticker didn't say what the HP or Torque rating was but the sticker price was, are you ready............???



























$41K!!!!!!! No freek'n way!!!!! Who in their right mind would buy that over a Lightning or a new s/c Harley?

My Uncle used to sell cars and he told me, "There is an a$$ for every seat."

Probably people who like Chevrolets. That's what makes the world great. Everyone has choices. It's not my cup of tea, and it's not yours, but somebody will buy it and enjoy it as much as we like our vehicles.

Better looking, faster, and one could get one for about $10k less.
Yes, I know, to each is own.

The Silverado SS is a 4X4, right? I know I'd appreciate that in a Wisconsin winter.

I saw a transporter load of them this morning on the way to work- so there's at least 6 that they'll sell. Not my cup of tea, but to each his own.

345hp out of a 6.0l, AWD, 1/4 mile in 15.1 @ 90mph, 0-60 in 7 flat. According to the guy at Silveradoss.com (who also banned me and any ford owner who joins) says they can hang with a Lightning to 60 (at 7 flat, HAHAHHA). And they are better looking too. Riiiiight.
