Blacked out z71

[Black71]

Yea lemme see if
I can dig that up somewhere I know the dealer said it was a 6.2 special edition when it was bought and my freind has a z71 2009 and in a drag he stands no chance against me il call a dealer and find out for sure. Maybe the dealer was tripin on acid when I bought it il get back to y'all and yea my rims should be in by next week so il post somepics

IM not a fan of the new z71's but blacked out might look good. Be careful about lowering a already lifted up(more than other tahoes factory) 4wd especially a 3/5. Thats a lot and im sure you will see drive issues in the future...i did with my 03. if you do the red around the rims they will look a lot smaller...

first off im not acting like an expert but in all honesty i have seen one and it just had black rims iv seen a bunch of last gens but not new. second look up a few "And there is no such thing as a 6.4 liter Vortech. Its a 5.3.'' and last off to the guy that quoted the most powerful a stock z71 will **** up any yukon or escalade it keeps up with my dads supercharged rover sport. Yea any thing with a supercharger will beat it but who the **** is dumb enough to put a supercharger in a tahoe or yukon ? i was just posting this for the poll so every one should vote... heres some pics anyone with a new z71 thats blacked out like this please link me to i wanna see what youv done and the fact that there are a bunch of you like everyones saying

I think my Denali might give it a go

A 295-hp 4.8-liter V8 engine is standard on the 2WD Tahoe LS. A 320-hp 5.3-liter V8 is optional on that model and standard on all other Tahoes, except the Hybrid. Some versions of that engine can run on E85 ethanol fuel. Newly available on rear-drive Tahoe LTZ models is a 380-hp 6.2-liter V8. Tahoe Hybrids have a 332-hp 6.0-liter V8 that pairs with an electric motor. These models can run on one or both of their power sources, depending on driving demands, and require no plug-in charging. The 5.3- and 6.0-liter engines have GM's Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation. All Tahoes have an automatic transmission. 6.2-liter versions use a 6-speed. Hybrids have a continuously variable transmission (CVT). All others have a 4-speed. Maximum towing capacity is 8200 lb. (( Okay heres where i was saying mine was limited on my vehicle specs sheet it says LTZ Z71 2007-2008 they offered a limited edition that now you can only purchase Z71s as the basic LT package. Witch is a 5.4L dose that answer your question i can post a pic of my specs sheet if you would like me to ?

With the 6.2L in your truck that makes it one hell of a sleeper for a tahoe. No one would expect that. I think blacking it out is a great idea. Maybe you could paint the chrome around the hi's and low's.

Yea I was disappointed with the 380bhp too my dads platinum f150 left me in the dust today lol and I think blacking out a z71 will look sportier cuz of the more masculine body kit it has. I'm scared to lower it tho just like u said I'm lowering a ready lifted 4x4 ? I think il see what it looks like after rims and then decide if it's worth it drop it. How's the tahoes resale ?

While I have nodded and a fw others checking this thread .. Is there a legal limit on the tint on the reflectors on each side cuz I wanna go like color matched if I can

Hey Black71, there isnt' a Z71/LTZ package and even based on the description and link, the 6.2L is only available with 2WD (your truck is 4WD). If there is such a package, the truck should also have the autoride rear suspension just like the LTZ. I also saw the other pic of your truck, and the resonator looks like the one off the 5.3L not the 6.2L.

Too bad, I guess I will wait for future Z71 models and hopefully they will offer an upgraded engine package or just upgrade the existing one as time/budget allows.

Thanks any way.
