Chevrolet Silverado (1st Gen) SS 2003

[RandomCarGuy17]

You know the Silverado SST Concept that's in GT6 right now? Well, here's the production version. The F-150 SVT Lightning could use an actual rival and I believe that the production Silverado SS would be a great rival for it in GT.

Launched in 2003, the Silverado SS is a high-performance pickup truck built by Chevrolet. It is based on the standard 1500 Silverado, with upgrades in drive train and both exterior and interior appearance. It uses the 6.0 liter Vortec High-Output V8 rated at 345 hp (257 kW) at 5200 rpm and 380 ftˑlbf (515 Nˑm) of torque at 4000 rpm. This was the same engine used for the second generation Cadillac Escalade. Chevrolet and GMC advertise this engine as the "VortecMAX", while Cadillac calls it the "HO 6000". The SS debuted with a standard All Wheel Drive setup, but was later changed to the current Rear Wheel Drive only format. The Silverado SS also comes with the Z60 performance suspension and 20 in (508 mm) chrome wheels. In 2006, Chevrolet released a special edition Silverado SS under the name "Intimidator SS" (licenced by Dale Earnhardt Inc.) that came with several minor appearance upgrades, but left the bulk of the truck the same.
