Default 2010 Colorado 5.3

This is prolly old news to most, but I just read in Motortrend that the Colorado has an option for the 5.3. That would mean a 6.2 would drop right in....hmmm...a new age factory S10...I love it. Not to mention the 5.3 could be made fast with some bolt ons.

GM took all the guess work out.

I drove one at work when it came off the truck. They are really not very exciting and pretty slow. Cool idea though.

I was told the same thing by two other people. I cant understand why because my RCLB 1500 5.3 went 14.6 @ 92 bone stock. I would have thought these trucks would be able to run low 14s.
