V8 Colorado, Where's the V8 Ranger?


:icon_confused: Since when does the Camaro have a TT V8? The new Camaro (I'm guessing the one you're talking about) gets the 426hp LS3 6.2l V8... No turbos, not even OHC...

the f bomb camaro was a custom 73 made for one of the editors of hot rod magazine with a twin turboed v8 they made a camaro to replicate that such car for the fast and furious movie

V8 Colorado/Canyon is dead. GM High Perf division is closed and axed due to the bailout.
 
stuck in my head and in my dreams...

If you want a V8 ranger youll have to build one :icon_welder:
so much fun having a little truck with no weight with a motor that can spin the tires into 4th gear :3gears:

They're still selling the V8 Colorados as far as I know; will this be the last year for them then?
 
If you want a V8 ranger youll have to build one :icon_welder:
so much fun having a little truck with no weight with a motor that can spin the tires into 4th gear :3gears:

i love my v8 ranger.. :icon_thumby:

but by the time i was done with it.. it wasnt a truck with no weight anymore..:icon_hornsup:
 
there still selling the V8 colorados, i just put in a factory order in for one today, 4-17-09
 
I wish ida waited a year before i bought mine. It cruises with a 185hp 4 banger, cant imagaine what it would be like with a 300+hp 5.3L under the hood.

The colorado is about the same size as a ranger.

If Ford did a V8 ranger i would love to see a return of the ol windsor V8's, (302/351).

What happened to the new 351's that were comng out?

Ah! Haven't seen that one yet... Hmm... 426hp + twin turbos = :headbang:

Yeah. I haven't seen that camaro too. I wanna see it soon. Maybe i'll go watch the movie so I'll get to see that car.
