I'm sure there is... I'm not too discouraged about the mpg's yet... the engine hasn't broken in yet, and I have had a case of heavy foot lately. Plus the cold starts and letting the truck warm up aren't helping matters much.
I'll see how she does down the road.

blue- 2000 SS
No one ever said that you couldn't get all kinds of performce stuff with the SS. it was just stated that the original ss option didn't automatically give the performance engines. And I wasn't talking about Nova's specificaly it just happened that those were the 2 cars I have seen in person and know of that I could use for an example. I agree 100% that later on it was a performance option that gave hotter motor's but that wasn't always the case. Any way its not that big of a deal so back on topic.
Wow 10.5 mpg how spirited is your driving and what are the 6.2 rated for?

I stated all that in my very first post, not sure why you keep going back to that.
I was only telling you the other bigger performance engines were another upgrade over the base performance engine that the SS already provided. Everyone seems shady on the whole SS ordeal, so I spelled it all out for everyone in the Nova line. That's just simply how it was.

blue- 2000 SS
Well I'm trying to not high jack this thread or start a battle . But you stated that " back then you got an engine package above the rest". 5.0 This replied that originally it had little to do with the motor and was gauges center console and trim. Then you replied " had every thing to do with the drive train" which is why I threw my 2 cents in about the 2 nova's not having anything special as far as the drivetrain goes to shed some light on the subject and back up 5.0 This. Originally it didn't have every thing to do with the drive train thats all I was saying, not talking about any specific car model just the SS designation in general.

I'm okay with that, we just need to be clear about the SS models. Saying a blatent statement that SS's didn't include any certain engine isn't entirely true so I broke it all down for you and everyone else...I felt that really needed to be explained.
I don't like to see or pass along false information. The internet has enough of that already.
I'd also hate to see someone purchase a classic collector car not knowing exactly what they have only to find out they've been taken. There is alot of that going on, clones are everywhere. Ya have to do your homework.

- 2011 Silverado CC 4x4 6.2
Anyway: I'm at 17+k on my 2011 Silverado crew 6.2/3.73/4x4 on 33s and I average 13.5 in town (I'm no granny) and I can do 17 on the freeway for a long trip. I am tuned with an Airaid MIT, drop-in synthetic filter, a glasspack and a leveling kit on the offroad rubber and that's my fuel mileage. I ran an S197 GT 4.6 as it sits and lost by a fender to 70. Beat a factory 5.7 Tundra twice. I would have no problem taking an SS prior to the mods and my truck is way more useful than those trucks, with the ability to drive it through anything I've pointed it at thus far, to include some pretty aggressive off-roading. I like the GMT800 SS trucks, but the 900 6.2 trucks surpass them in every metric. A new SS truck would be pretty sweet but they would definitely need to prioritize performance if they ever go that route again. A regular-cab would be nice as an option.

Ran my first tank of E85..... 10mpg with about a 50/50 highway/city split.
Had no choice this time but to put in regular, because I wouldn't have made it to the nearest e85 gas station!
