According to Chevy's website they are:

"Meet the next version of Chevy Silverado: 2003 Silverado SS. With a high-output 345-horsepower Vortec 6000 V8, all-wheel-drive, 20-inch tires and tuned exhaust, this Chevy Truck is all attitude and pure Super Sport muscle. (Limited availability.)"

Hate to be a bummer but they are 345HP,,,it's a tuned up 6.0L.

I'm curious what they run in the quarter... I raced a guy briefly the other day stop light to stop light and stuck him. (4.7L auto - cc)

With 5000lbs of curb weight, that 345HP turns into around 245hp or around the same power to weight ratio as the Dakota R/T but with the dakota having the torque advantage with only 35tq less but not having to push 1000lbs or wait until 4000rpm to reach peak tq. Not to mention the AWD power loss VS. a rear wheel drive setup. Only time the SS will be winning is with NOS or Supercharger or in the rain/snow.

Close stock race, who wants to pay $40k starting out?

I ran against one in the 1/8 last week - he was running 9.80's@69 - I'm pretty sure it was stock except for Flowmasters and big chrome tips.

I ran a 9.58@73 w/2.24 60' - don't know what his 60' was but he pulled me a little off the line - about 80-100' out I had caught him and started pulling away.

All I have is a '99 CC Sport with a 318/auto/3.55's and about $1,000 worth of parts(M1, PCM , Headers & exhaust)- weighs about 4300# too.

Sorry to burst your bubble franlofter, but you are hugely mistaken

k&n fipk.............$250
52 mm flowmetrics tb.$400
m-1 intake...........$400
b&g flash............$600
spintech side exaust.$350
viper convertor......$300

$2500

Far cry from $4000, and considering the Silverado SS costs almost $40K from the factory, it shoudl be a lot faster than low 15's stock. And yes, they only run low 15's stock, the same as most stock R/Ts. So, go back to the Chevy magazines and make sure you come prepared to back up your post next time. So it took $40K for some Chevy owner to keep up with a 250hp $20K truck.

Excerpted from the Silverado SS site:

GMMG said:
I have been waiting for the damn truck well good news it showed up last Saturday on a enclosed hauler from Berger Chevy. Truck ran and drove great got home and the truck had 51 miles on it. Woke up the next day and GAFBA (Georgia F-Body Association) was having a Shootout. Me and my friend Ron decided to roll down and see the competition before our new motors come out. I was not planning on running the truck but several people asked my to make a pass and I was interrested to see what she would do. Well I went to sleep at the light because I was waiting for a damn Corvette to do a burnout for 10 minutes it seems and I just rolled up to the light. Here are the time I have the timeslip to prove it but about 200 people in GAFBA saw the truck run

60ft 2.2
1/8 9.7
1/4 15.2 @88mph

Really happy with the time especially the 1/8 when I got done I drove on the scale and my jaw dropped when the scale read 5450lbs. I weigh 230 and I had about 1/2 tank of gas. I bet the truck would have run 15.0 with less gas and my wife driving

Yeah, the new SilveradoSS is a far cry from the 454 version. Just like the new supercharged ImpalaSS is a far cry from the '94-'96 Impalas with the 350. The Monte CarloSS...well, you get the picture. Chevy really needs to step it up. Not to mention I think their cars and trucks are ugly. I really like the looks of the GMC Sierra a lot, but the Silverado counterpart is downright fugly.

I like the look of the Sierra and I think Chevy is headed in the right direction with their power train selection. Personally, being a former Jeeper, I love the Vortec 4200 (L6) and I think Dodge should drop their V6's in favour of a redesigned 4.0 maybe as a 4.2 or 4.8 stroker. The inline 6's have oodles and oodles of torque.

Hey budday!! The SS can probably beat some R/T's stock, but more times than not, it will be a flip of the coin as to who will win. Just cause the SS is putting out 345hp dosn't automatically guarantee a win. I mean, that extra 95HP has to push an extra 1000lbs of weight plus all the parasitic loss from the AWD drivetrain. Plus, the torque difference between the SS and the R/T is even less, so they don't have as much torque to wieght ratio as the R/T to get off the line.

Are you in Sac? I am low 13s now!! I just put my supercharger a week ago!! Bring it on!! Remember we SS buyers are not on a buget like you poor R/T boys, we got money to spend on real mods not bolt on bull sh*t, so don't even bring up the price of the SS. You get what you pay for, performance aside, you get so much more with the SS, the Dak is a buget, little rickity toy truck. Face it and get out of Dodge while the gettin is good. Run!! Trade that Dog on a real vehicle, who cares what brand as long as it's not a DC product because they suck!!!

WTF do you think a supercharger is a bolt on Item you stupid F@ck SSRacer and as for Mods they all bolt on you ingorant bastard so what if you can afford a 40 thousand dollar truck I can too but do i want too NO and you had someone else put it on for you too. Most of us in here do our own mods to our Trucks and that says alot more than going down to the speedshop and having MrsGoodwench install it for you. And just wait until the front halfshafts on your POS Chevy let loose and wipe out that delicate front suspension and where did the Torsion Bar front end design come from DODGE oops and who developed the heads on your POS Chevy HONDA it seems to me that CHEVORLET cant design a damn thing buy their self anymore.

Wa wa wa!! Some of you guys may have fast daks, so what, you're still driving a Dodge!!! Ha,ha, ha!!! Take notice of the people that drive Dodges, losers for the most part. I will say some buy them because they are so cheap, but they would much rather have somthing better. You can't polish a turd! It's still a turd when you get done polishing!! So what if it's fast, I have seen Pintos and VWs that looked like sh*t but were still fast, that's the group your Daks fall in. You will never have the status that comes with owning somthing with status like a Vett, Lightning, Harley or a Silverado SS. You're POSs will always be hopped up crap!!! That's why you get such a high when you beat somthing with staus with your econo crap because you know those cars/trucks you target are way classier than yours. I'll race any of you losers, I already offered and was turned down, and if you beat me, so what, I know what I am driving home is a much nicer, better built truck than the POS you would have to drive home!!!!
