SEMA Concept -- Silverado Performance

sk · November 2, 2017

I know there has been some info coming out of SEMA but this one seems to have slipped under the radar:

It's not exactly a Lightning-killer but they put a Corvette supercharger on the 5.3L.

And check out that hood and lower fascia!

Looks cool, but should have started with the 6.2. Also need a reg cab version.

There's actually a hood almost like that that's available which I'm going to get

A leveled truck with a perfectly usable bed access and fantastic stance. Nice.

Almost went into seizure with that nutzoid introduction though.

I like it! and that front ends looks awesome

Hood is cool but unfortunately can pretty much buy all that stuff yourself right now for way less than you could from them. Unless they fully warrantied the SC. I don't know why all their truck concepts are so neutered. Manual AWD 6.2 SC Reg cab would be sweet!

They left out the part where you can't buy half the stuff cause your vin # doesn't work.

I want those wheels on the Luke Bryan Burban! Just not orange! Wouldn’t match the blue very well haha

Trying to go fast in a truck vs car will never make sense to me, but this thing is still going to get yanked by real performance trucks. That power is embarrassing for what this will cost and its expectations set. Shades of old GM. Needs a 6.2 with a blower to be considered performance anything in this day and age.

People always say it needs to be reg cab short bed. I'm assuming so it is the lightest version. I hear that as "needs to be a car with 1,000+ lbs less weight to begin with" if we are going to save weight. Buddy put 20k into a Gen 2 Lightning with every part you could think of. Was cool. Ran mid 11s like my cam/stall GTO for "not 20k into it". I don't think the unique novelty of "performance" trucks ever pays off, but thats just me.

I dont think most people with performance trucks are that dumb.

I think it’s more like, they need to drive a truck, and making that truck perform better is the only thing they can do to have more fun while they are driving it.
