LOL!!! Silverado VortecMax!!!!

[BRACEYOSELF777]

MAX sprints to 60 in 7.5 seconds, accompanied by a ferocious sucking sound from the tuned intake (two resonators bulge from the intake pipe). The brakes — four-wheel discs with ABS — stopped everything in 186 feet from 70 mph. Although most truckers aren’t venturesome in the twisties, our test truck carved around the skidpad at 0.74 g, enough to tip any untethered Frigidaire into the ditch.

364HP and only 15.8? not even as fast as a stock Titan with 305HP (underrated horsepower that is).

WOW!! Another disappointment from Chevy!

That can't be! 364hp and only 15.8 in the 1/4 mile? Something wrong there. They got to be faster than that unless they gained alot of weight during the redesign. The front doors are pretty heavy on those new GMT900's.

Only 98mph for the top speed? GM sure sets those speed limiters pretty low on their trucks, don't they? LOL!

i bought that magazine last night just for that review and i chuckled.

i wonder if their V4 will be available for under 30k /har

"enough to tip any untethered Frigidaire into the ditch"

On his way to a Nobel prize in literature, no doubt.

That ancient 4 spd auto isnt helping matters at all. If they threw in the 6 spd from the escalade, then maybe those numbers would improve. But GM will never do that when they can charge you $45k for a sierra denali or $60k for the caddylanche. I like my stock $22k 4x4 that can run at least .2 quicker in the quarter mile.

[ambiguousanomaly]

I'm pretty much stoke that my cheap @ss $18K truck can spank the hell out of that Chevy...lol. GM DITCH THE 4 SPD. All they did was super glue an overdrive gear to the 3 spd they have had since the 60's....lol

Of course your Chevy owner I see....What does your SS run?

Isn't it just amazing the number of HEMI and SS guys that want to hang in a Titan forum??/ Nissan musta done something right....lol!

Titan gives 50-60 Hp and beats the 6.0L...Way to go Chevy! Titans ran 15.3-15.6 stock in 04'. Looks like more overated motor output.

Maybe they just don't put the power to the ground with the old 4-spd. Glad I have a Titan

[loufish]

Just to provide some balance, the MAX was designed for towing, so while it may fall short in the race area, it could have a great torque curve for towing...Chevy's 8.1L isn't the fastest horse in the stable, but it is a Clydsdale(sp?)

[markislive78]

If I remember correctly the 5.6 was made for towing/Tq also we still have a higher Tq output....380 stock.

That truck is pretty heavy at 5,600lbs...takes Tq to get a big boat off the line not Hp, I guess GM is still trying to figure that out!

[titan814]

BRACE you crack me up!

[GMVisitor]

You trying to lure the SS guys back?
