Trucks are boring, why do you even need one? Are you a contractor or a farmer or something? If so then I can understand. Get the camaro and buy a beater 4x4 pickup if you really need one.

Depends on what you are doing.. I use my 2500HD to haul heavy stuff, it's 4x4 on 33's so it'll get through some ****. I drive the MCSS when it's nice out or for cruises, and the LS1 S10 is the daily driver. Like mentioned a small beater truck is great for zipping around and hauling stuff.

6.2 silverado
Bolt ons 380 rwhp. High - mid 13s

If u don't need 4x4
Get 2 wheel drive and throw a converted in it it prolly go 12s if not mid 12s

U could have a truck and beat a new stock camaro

Don't get a z71. Wheels suck and ther high priced
I got the 20s

Yup..that is the S-Turd..





It's great for haulin crap, I've hauled a rear axle, washer/dryer, king size mattress along with the bed, plenty of beer and it's dragged all kinds of cars.

Runs low 12's in the 1/4, stock Stall and Gears too.

For driving comfortably my 2500HD is the way to go..quiet, smooth, and easy goin.

If you already have a Camaro (your screen name is 1NASTY99SS, so I'm assuming you do), buy a pickup. You never know when you'll need a place to haul a new Rear End, Transmission, or other Performance Parts that won't fit in the trunk of a new Camaro.

And better yet, once you buy the pickup, you could then purchase a Car Trailer and use both of them to haul your present car to the Track.

This is my ultimate goal, but I have a few obligations to fulfill before I can start that ball rolling. I'll be there someday. Good luck with your decision.

silverado. that new 6 speed sounds like its working pretty good from what I hear. I have an 07 new body style, so I'm before the 6 speed, but its still a solid truck. got a little over 80k right now and havent had any issues worth bitching about. plus, they really are great road trip vehicles.
