Searching for Super Sport Performance in the Tahoe, Trailblazer, and Silverado
Status Report
As we write this, GM is still considering the SS trucks for production. However, during their debut at last year's SEMA Show (see "Weaving Las Vegas," Motor Trend Magazine, March 2003), much of the talk was positive. Given the simplicity of their design and executions (all pretty much parts off the shelf), and the buzz this trio of V-8 muscletrucks could generate for GM enthusiasts, it wouldn't surprise us at all if the corporation eventually decided to green-light all three. We'll be watching closely, test gear at the ready.
