Drift demos yes, but it will most likely be in the Silver State Classic at some point.

Anyone have any thoughts on the truck ?

Bebop · 08-06-2009, 12:59 PM

waste of money in this tough economy

but that's just me

It could look so much better, craftsman series meets japan is what I'm expecting when anyone tries to do a drift truck.... but I guess that will never happen.

Blaze - Can definitely see where your coming from, but as far as building a truck that meets the needs of the parties involved. I think were on the right track. According to MBRP, their is still about another 4-6 months of work to do on the truck, so should be interesting.

Personally, I think Colorados aren't the greatest looking trucks, but with a powertrain and chassis like that, I'd suffer. Awesome, a supercharged LS7 and I love thoses camshaft #'s! Any power numbers yet? Two thumbs up!

Great wheels, bad fitment.

MBRP says they are shooting for 1000 HP! I'll keep you guys updated once we get this thing on a dyno.
