Doesn't make sense that the 5.3 colorado has 300hp / 320 ft lbs and my monte has 240hp / 280 ft lbs. and my car is a tenth of a second faster lol.

Yeah, but I wouldn't figure it weighed a whole lot more than my monte, since its a small truck. You can buy a used 2010 camaro ss with real low miles for 28 grand lol

I'm amazed at how out of the loop I am, I didn't even know they started putting the 5.3 in Colorados.

If you want to get a Chevy truck get a Silverado - they're built much better and the Vortec engines are bullet proof. They handle great in snow.
