If you want a 6.0L shortbed pickup AND a sports car, you might wait for the Holden SS V-Series Ute to come to the US in the near future as a Pontiac or GMC (they built the last Pontiac GTO).

That is definitely a thought, although I can see my wife being awfully ticked when I come home on a random Saturday afternoon in a year with Pontiac G8 Ute. hehehe. The Ute's are certainly different (and fast with the V8). It'll be interesting to see how well they do in the market place in the US if GM decides to sell them here.

Looking into purchasing a 1500 sierra crew cab (5.3 liter)....I test drove a 2008 the other day. It seems when i punch the gas there is a hesitation before it kicks in. Is this normal for these trucks or did i drive a lemon? A big engine like that, i was expecting an instant response when i punch the gas, but it doesnt...there is a slight "bog down" right before it kicks in.
Could someone clear this up for me?

My 2007 Vortec Max does the same thing it starts out slow and then all of a sudden the motor wakes up

Hi guys. I'm sorry if this turns up twice but I must have screwed something up the first time.
 
Does anyone know if GM did away with the electronic torque converter lock? The reason I ask is I can hold the throttle at a steady speed and lightly step on the brake and there is no slight increase in RPM with my 2008 Z-71 5.3. All my other ones did have this. Thanks in advance!
