If you need to DD it those viper trucks are terrible in bad weather. Viper v10 motors are cool but they are terrible on gas and not very reliable.
The srt8 - while Benz has really improved the drivetrains, Benz and dodge have relibility isuues and and Jeep build quality to me is poor.

SRT-8 Charger. I know I want one I wish they had a 6speed though. If they did I would have bought one already... I'm hoping/waiting for a new firebird

Out of the cars on the list I think I would have to say GTO even though I think they are fugly.

buy the ss silverado or avalanche, drive it and forget about it.

No mods on this one aside from tint, HIDs, and a tune to delete TM if it turns out to be a GM.

SRT Charger is definitely my favorite looking SRT, but I would rather own a Cherokee w/ AWD.

Looks like th Silverado SS is 2wd only now. Also I know all the Avy owner love their Avys, I just don't get excited about them for some reason...nice trucks, not my style I guess.

Knock down better mileage than the SRT 10, pimp slap it, AND still go in the snow (as long as you aren't an idiot).

Mike, those are actually RWD, I just checked, you had me pretty interested there for a minute though. It's the non-SRT 300c that you can get in awd

TBSS, all wheel drive safety, plenty of space, and enough power and handling to still be some fun. clear winner

I would avoid anything "Mopar" Just because of the paint issue. My jeep started peeling when it was 3 years old. Look at a lot of Chrysler products on the road and you see they have issues with their paint.

I like Don's Avalanch.

If I had the choice, I would probably go with a TB SS. It all depends what you need it to do though.

You need to tow? Do you need passenger space? etc..

I was going to buy a 07 silverado crew cab LTZ until i got my avalanche. Those are real nice. New body style LTZ's are really nice i just couldnt get a decent price on one being so new.

There's always the Silverado/Sierra 2500HD with the Duramax Diesel that can be a lot of fun as well. . . BOOST!!! Matt you know you're addicted to boost, so why not a factory turbocharged vehicle that can easily be modded if you ever choose to! Nevermind 360hp/650tq that it comes with.

OR

Silverado SS AWD. .. . Nice all around Truck with plenty of room, a nice bed to put drag radials/drag wheels in and a good tow package for a car trailor!!

That's my theory and what I have done, minus the 6.0L and SS stuff!

http://www.autotrader.com/dealers/dd...ASC&cardist=25


i loved the truck but just doesnt cut it in the snow. if it were awd id probably still have it, instead of the vette. other than that i really like the tbss, but thats me.
