Love it and seems reasonably priced

[PxTx]

7200 lbs!

[wheelhop]

Maybe a 4 door "towing package" version of this would be an option for guys spending 70 to 80K on a new Silverado Duramax

[Charley Lillard]

Hard to believe you can buy a 800 hp new pickup for 47K

[Crush]

Wow that’ll roast some tires!

[markinnaples]

Pretty cool truck, love the hounds-tooth interior, but I'd rather have an extended cab even if it was just with jump seats in the back.

[olredalert]

----No way a half ton Silverado weighs that much,,,NO WAY! I doubt it weighs 5000lbs. Also agree with Charley about the price. Really neat ride though.....Bill S

For scary comparisons Shelby super snake had 800 horsepower in a 2,200 pound chassis. Can you imagine how scary that was. 800 horsepower in a 5,000 pound truck... a walk in the park

Especially with an aluminum hood, doors, and tailgate.

Maybe they upgraded the rear from the 8.6" diff and have something like a 9.5, 10.5 or 11.5 out of the heavier trucks. That would add some weight, but deliver much better reliability.

[mockingbird812]

That’s a lot of truck for the $$$$$! I too love the upgraded seats!

No way are you going to buy it in the 40's. I'm guessing alot of bad info in that article.

[JKZ27]

7200 lbs? Seems people often confuse the GVWR with the actual vehicle weight.
Neat truck. Though, nothing appeals to me more than the SRT/10 with a manual.

[luzl78]

I think that truck will be 65,000-70,000 if only 25 are to be made

[flyingn]

The silverado is all of 5500-5700 lbs. The Ford F150 Shelby is 500+ lbs lighter and almost same hp. And its been out for years.

https://blog.caranddriver.com/the-750-hp-2017-shelby-f-150-super-snake-costs-as-much-as-two-raptors/

[flyingn]

Or you can buy a new F150 5.0 shortbed 2wd 3.55 geared and throw a tune on it and run 12.7's with out even changing the tires and only spending half what the Chevy costs and you will have enough to toss on a blower and smoke the Chebby .

This is my buddys 2018 F150 and its a 12.7 legit with just a tune. Stock puny tires even .

[markinnaples]

LOL, I'd still rather have the Chevy with an LS.

[flyingn]

The silverado is $46,000 over the price of the truck. + another $2500 of the seats. so its $48,500 + $37,000 for a base truck. Total is about $85,500 if you wanna play

[flyingn]

Or you can buy a new 650 hp Lightning F150 for $50k. Just giving you an alternative. No doubt the Silverado is way cool https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/a12251590/new-ford-f-150-lightning/

7200 lbs!

There's no way. Shipping weight on that truck with a 5.3L V8 is only 4800 pounds. They're not adding 2400 pounds of weight.

Of course. 5500-5700 is more like it

Its $85,500. Its $45000 just for the package

[flyingn]

and.. here is another 725 hp pick up to throw in the mix. Best part is full factory warranty and $38k out the door

I would really like to buy a new Chevy or GMC truck. I looked at the 100th anniversary chevies last week, I really like the emblems as well as the rest of the truck. I just bought a new work van so it's not something I can justify but they sure are nice. Maybe I could add a procharger to my 05 Hemi Sport truck to ease my pain & suffering....

Just wondering what became of the 800HP 2018 Yenko Silverados SVE announced earlier this year?
25 were announced available, have any been sold/built/delivered?
:hmmm:
