Silverado SS

  • 345-hp H.O. Vortec 6000 V8 with tuned 3.5-inch side-exit exhaust
  • All-wheel drive
  • Heavy-duty Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission
  • Z60 High Performance Suspension Package with lowered ride height
  • Owner Warning, this truck is not competion for the 6.0L Ford Truck
Ahh Yesss, I love saturday nights in town. Ran into this guy and ricer mixing it up so I hooked onto his rear bumper and asked him at the next stop light if he wanted to risk a run at my truck. Being a curious person I love variety.

We chatted afterwards and I pointed him towards some tuning for his truck.

Smoked the SS like a cheap cigar......Pred was in the 100HP flash

I have seen the truck around town this past week so I have been looking for him just a little.... The wife spotted him as we were leaving our favorite sat night resturant.

Yea, to say the least he was impressed 3 times.....and the ricer was curious as well, but he got left behind. We both had a good laugh about the ricer car. Turns out neither one of us knew who he was as he kept trying to catch up to us....

My next target is one those Dodges with the Bumble Bee wrapper

You will find that the Dodge Hemi bumble bee (advertised as the worlds fastest production truck) is just as easy to beat I smoked one last month. The ones that are dangerous are the 65 Ford and Chevy shortbeds with the muscle car engines....

I got me two rice burners over the last couple of days. Both times
they had this look on their face. The only catch was, I was
in the stock tune . I just love these kill stories!

Thanks for the info Bob....I think the truck they advertise as the worlds fastest has the Viper V-10. Comes in around 500HP and just a squeek over 50 grand so I doubt if you see many on the road.
