Production LS7, 6-Speed Silverado

easlonperformance · February 2, 2007

A buddy of mine called me last night about an LS7, 6-Speed manual equiped silverado he saw on a specialty vehicle website after clicking on a link he came across while looking for a mustang on Ebay. At first I thought he was talking about the 427 concept but I was wrong! This company called Easlon Specialty Vehicles or Easlon Performance he said and is building a limited production sport truck called the STR or something like that. He said It clearly states that it is completely inspired by the 427 concept Silverado. Thanks to my dumb ass buddy he didn't save the the like or web address so I can't confirm and I have not been able to find anything about it!

If any one has any info that they can share that would be great! If GM isn't going to produce the truck then I wouldn't mind buying one through a second sticker company. Kinda like by a Saleen or a Roush.

Thanks,

Tom

Here is a link to their site with the truck, they say its still under development. They only have a photoshop picture but there is an idea of what they might offer. Pretty cool I think, especially offering a manual in a truck that does not have one from the factory.

Wow!!! Just like I thought that is going to be one expensive truck. I called them back this morning when I got to work. They said no information is final as of yet but expect the LS2 with 6-speed manual to be close to 70K and the automatic trans version would be a few thousand dollars less. The LS7 with 6-speed manual will be close to 80K and again the auto trans version will be a few thousand dollars less. Also they are debateing on scraping the automatic options and only offering the 6-speed manual as well as scraping the 5.3L option and only offering the LS2 (STR366 and LS7 (STR427). Well I can't afford them that's for sure, LOL! I wounder how many of them will they sell at that price! Ouch!!!

I take that back, camaro it is! I'm hoping to get a base (no frills) SS or Z28 or whatever (the one with the 6.0L) and a six speed for low 30's... that's what I'm hoping anyway.
