Joe Gibbs Chevy?

[pewter99]

I went the dealer and checked out them trucks this past week. They have the 5.3 with a automatic then they have the 4.8 with the hurst 5 speed. They had sinle and extended cabs Extended cabs only available in automatic. Not bad looking trucks to be honest.(BESIDES THE HIGH PRICE ON THEM) What I was wondering is which is the better deal. 5.3 with automatic vs. 4.8 5 speed? And single or regular cab?

Gibbs Performance, has recently introduced Silverado and Tahoe model trucks decked out with performance parts developed from the Gibbs family's many years in NASCAR Busch racing. The trucks will be sold at select Chevrolet dealers nationwide.
The company was founded in 1983 by three-time Super-Bowl-winning coach and two-time champion NASCAR Winston Cup owner Joe Gibbs, and his youngest son Coy Gibbs, driver of the No. 18 MBNA Chevrolet in the NASCAR Busch Series.

Coy Gibbs, the younger member of the father/son duo, has taken the driver's seat at Joe Gibbs Performance, as president of the newly formed venture. Applying wisdom and experience he learned from his father, he hopes to build his company into a major contender in the automotive industry.

"Anyone who drives one of our Joe Gibbs Performance Silverado's will be satisfied. It's really a fun truck to drive and to know you have that extra horsepower makes it even that much better," stated Gibbs.

The above named horsepower comes by way of a Gibbs-designed, Roots-type intercooled/supercharged engine producing 390 horsepower and 425 lbs. ft of torque, exhausting through a Gibbs stainless steel, cat-back exhaust. This all ads up to a 5.9-sec. zero-to-sixty time, and a 13.8 1/4 mile at 99.43 mph for the Silverado.

Both models come with a full host of upgrades and amenities including a tuned suspension, Gibbs/Baer brakes, DVD entertainment, logo-emblazoned mats and seats, and many extras.

More information about the Gibbs' vehicles can be found on the company's web site at www.joegibbsperformance.com or by phone at 1-800-JGP-CORP (1-800-547-2677.)
