The Chevy Colorado Just Got Uglier

[Fudged Undies]

Maybe the colorado isn't up to snuff with the trac (maybe it is, I don't really get into those pissing contests) but you have to give it it's due....



drool...... Still won't want to pay the gas bill though....

Thats sweet looking!

 

[shawn stonbraker 2]

Not real impressed. Looks like a scaled down model of the Silverado SS. Plus, look in Todd Z's library. You will see a ST smoke the tires like that.:lol:

 

[Dallas Starr]

I think its looks great.

 

[Casey B]

The front end looks too big for the truck.

stonemeiser, I've seen what todd has done, but this is kinda what ford was going for with the '07 adrenalin. Chevy is unsure about putting it into production but this type of upgrade/mod is also done on the s10 with the LS1. And you gotta like the 395hp and 400lb. ft. of torque. You may not like chevy but you have to love that you can do this(probably as your own upgrade too). Thus far none of us have managed this with our tracs and a 5.0 and the belief is that it won't be easy

That looks like a bleach job to me, Don't get me wrong with almost 400 HP you can burn them up real Nice !!!!!!!!

BTW, No bleach was harmed in any of my burnouts Ever, I prefer not to cheat. Also the bleach allows the tires to break loose a lot easier....



The St would have been close with the 300+ hp adrenalin version correct???

rode in a GTO today with the LS2..... bad @ss engine. It would make that trailblazer alot of fun.

 

[Shawn Hennessy]

Looks like they put the exhaust ports on the front bumper.

That thing is hideous.

 

[FlipTrac_511]

I think it looks sweet.

 

[Tom Schindler]

It looks much better then the standard Colorado.



If only Ford would get thier heads out of thier @$$es and come up with some performance cars.





Tom

 

[Dale Carter]

Yeah, that Mustang GT and GT40 are such pigs.

 

[Tom Schindler]

GM has a Corvette, Silverado SS, Lumina SS, Cobalt SS, and GTO...to name a few.



What has Ford done? The Ford GT. Sweet Ride. Mustang GT, great. What else have they done? Dumped the Adrenelin. They even droped the Lightning. They disolved the SVT program.



Look at Dodge. Look at the SRT line of cars they have.



Again, what does Ford have? GT is ending production. That leaves the Mustang.

I've always liked the look of the Colorado, but I've heard a lot about how "cheap" they are.

 

[FlipTrac_511]

Is Chevy's collection of SS badged models selling to their expectations? Are Dodge's SR/T models selling as well? If not, maybe this is why Ford shied away from performance variations. Personally, if the 07 came in an Adrenalin/SVT form, I know it'd be out of my league financially (if I were in the market).

 

[Tom Schindler]

Is Chevy's collection of SS badged models selling to their expectations?

I am willing to bet they are. They have made some mistakes with some of thier cars. The GTO and SSR are two examples. The SS line is out there and with a performance advantage, the profit margin goes up. People will pay for performance. Keep it low volume and the prices stay high.

Hey, if SRT can sell a Neon, I'd say that is a success!

 

[Tom Schindler]

I would have to agree, then again, the SRT-4 Neon was a fast MoFo. Very fast.

[Keith McElroy]

Hey, if Ford dropped the ball on performance versions of their vehicles, somebody has to pick up the slack.



I wasn't a huge fan of the normal Colorado (because of the weak engine), but I would give the performance version a try.

 

[Gavin Allan]

The Colorado seems like something that Chevy/GM pulled together in a week or two from mostly existing parts. It doesn't look like anything that spent much time in Engineering or Syling Depts.



I seriously think the Colorado is a POS. It sure looks like one.



That hideously lame 5 cylinder engine was also a major goof, especially when GM has the great 3800 V-6 with more power and better economy readily available.
