they make v8 colorados? I thought they just had a inline 6 or 5 or something stupid like that.

Ive raced a few colorados, but they are not that impressive

The V8 Colorados are just out for the new model year, it might be a month or two before they start popping up. The V8 only comes on extended or crew cab models. Ancient 4L60 bolted up behind the motor, but it's still no slouch. Pickuptruck.com ran a 7.67 0-60, traction limited.

No argument here...what good is a V8 if the *** end is on the bump stops when you load it! Same thing with Tacomas. Those leaf springs are one notch above a minivan.

Personally, chevs are my second choice below dodges. The V8 Colorado is my back-up if I can't get a Dakota witht he V8. Also, I like he Chevy Silverado SS more than the Ram SRT-10. It is a lot more practical and useful.
