With the relatively light weight it should still do pretty good. However,
I would have liked to see the LS1 engine and 6 speed transmission. Have
you seen the specs on the new Chevy Siverado SS
(http://www.chevrolet.com/ss/) - 345 horsepower 6 liter V8 and a good
hauling/towing capacity, probably no more money or even less.
On Chrysler's V10 bike, even they have said that nobody has taken it over
100 mph yet, so I don't know if it would actually hit 300 mph.

Fellas, GM announced the price of that new SSR retro looking truck and it's
$41,900 retail. Oooops! What happened to the 6 litre engine? Now has the
5.3
and what about target price of $30 to $35,000? Big dissapointment.
I'm sure they will still have customers lining up waiting for them, they
bought those $60,000 Prowlers! Truck sure won't be very "useful" cept for
"looking cool".
OR, how about that new bike X-ler could make with V-10 engine and sell for
$250,000!! What they thinking? Top speed of 300 mph! Can you
say......Lawsuits! Another "killing" machine to make cycling seem like
even "dumber" experience than what some people already think!
