Such a beautifully fast truck. Are the numbers what's making it to the rear wheels?

Isn't the supercharger a 15k add on?

wonder why they do not supercharge the 4.8.

I just don't get it.

Don't get me wrong. I love fast cars. I own a Corvette in addition to my Silverado and frankly, most of the time I drive it like I stole it.

But I just don't get paying all this money to hop up a friggin' TRUCK. They weigh almost three tons, their center of gravity is way the hell up in the air, it takes an acre to turn 'em around. Why would you spend $16K on a Callaway Supercharger when you can buy a nice used Corvette that will actually handle?

I'm not criticizing anyone here. I'm sure it's my lack of understanding, but like I said, I just don't get it. I want a truck to haul lumber from Home Depot, to move furniture, to get plants from the nursery, to commute to work. If I want to go fast, I go home and change cars.
