SEMA 2009: Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 isn't a Raptor wrangler... yet
Filed under: Aftermarket, SEMA Show, Truck, Chevrolet, Off-Road
 That rumored Ford Raptor fighter from General Motors? Not quite. The Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 Concept (it's only a concept, but some of the components could be available on future pickups) is a reasonable attempt to bring the off-road fight back to Ford, with a four-inch lift, 20-inch BBS RD wheels, BDS shocks and a 550-hp supercharged version of GM's LS crate V8. But the real work is hidden beneath the clear coat, with carbon fiber body panels replacing the steel hood and fenders. And that new fascia? Don't be surpised to see a modified version affixed to future Silverados. Check the gallery below for live shots from the floor and make the jump for Chevy's brief press release.

I like it, but if they want a Raptor-killing offroad truck they need to bring the solid front axle back, looks cooler that way anyways.

It's trying to mimmic the Raptor too hard if you ask me.
Sorry GM, you're doing it wrong. The Raptor is so much better looking if you ask me.  Mmmmmmm...

The Raptor looks good in print and photos but in person the lameness of the stickers is unreal.
I love what Ford has done with the truck though. Its a very cool product and if GM can match the functionality of the Raptor (they have been doing CORR racing for a LONG time) but give better styling then go for it. |
