quote:

The modified Silverado starts (and largely ends) with a 378-cubic-inch LT1 V-8 with a blueprinted aluminum block, forged crankshaft and pistons, and CNC-ported heads, then adds a centrifugal supercharger and custom quad-tip exhaust system for a whopping 800 hp and 720 lb-ft of torque. The Yenko/SC Silverado can be had in either two- or four-wheel drive, but in either configuration you'll get an upgraded heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission. Both the engine and transmission come with a three-year/36,000-mile warranty.




quote:

In addition to those 800 supercharged ponies you'll also get eight-piston Brembo brake calipers (stamped with the Yenko logo) paired with 16.1-inch vented rotors, a sport suspension system that lowers the truck 2.0 inches in the front and 5.0 inches in the rear, a heavy-duty anti-roll bar and upgraded bushings, and a set of 22-inch six-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in 305/45 performance rubber.




quote:

Helping to distinguish your truck from lesser Silverados is a body-color Yenko S/C insert for the tailgate, Yenko graphics and badges, and a unique interior with the Yenko S/C logo engraved on the door sill plates and embroidered on the seats.




quote:

Of course, this level of power and personalization comes at a cost. The base Yenko S/C Silverado package starts at $79,995—and that doesn't include the price of a new 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 crew cab or double cab pickup truck.

Limited to 50 units for 2021.

And it's faster than the SRT8 - and will blow the doors off a Raptor.

Take the stupid looking sticker off the side and I would. Wouldn't buy it though.

I'd think about it if I were rich.

I love my current pickup, but it's slowly turning into a clunker.

Chevy sure makes an ugly pickup truck. Having Yenko on the sides and back makes it even uglier.

That doesn't include the price of the truck. Just the package.

I've never really liked lowered trucks, but it looks good with those wheels.

$80k is too much for what you get IMO.

But with the Yenko name it will likely hold its value, so there's that at least.

I've had a Silverado and an Outback. They are both very sturdy - although neither has 800 horsepower ripping their transmissions and axles to shreds.

Are lowered trucks coming back in style or something?
