Well, as long as you are wishing about stuff that has a snowballs chance in hell to be built, might as well wish big. 
Personally I want and LS9 powered 09 silverado, short bed short cab, AWD, 6-speed manual. Hell id even settle for a 6 speed auto.

Seriously, what does it take to get GM to do this??? At least I can brew my own bio-diesel (and would with the way gas prices are).

Anyone seen any other pics of this thing yet? I am guessing this will be a yes, but is it going to be intercooled?
EDIT: Seeing it from another angle I can see the appropriate outlets. Couldn't be seen too clearly from the pic at the top.

I imagine that thing is very restricted for efficiency and emissions. Imagine how much power you could get out of that thing with a little tinkering/modding? I think I have decided on the powerplant for my next truck...
