What's "twin stick" refer to?

It had a manual 5 speed and a separate shift lever that change the gearing. It was pretty quick off the line.

I am the minority here and have to agree with the 13 year old, I'd rather not drive either if it came to that body style. As a former owner and also had several family membera of a GMT400, I would NEVER own one of these again. I had a 96 suburban 2500 that was nothing but problems. The 7.4 was nice when the fuel injection wasn't messing up, and the 4L80 was nice. The rest was garbage. My family members had Silverado's and Tahoe's with the 5.7 and those were total junk. The spiders always went out, brake lines were cheap and rusted out several times, that ****** ass variable steering ******** sucked, working on the front suspension sucked, and I could go on and on. From my experience as a former owner and GM tech, the GMT400 was one of the worst truck/ SUV platforms GM ever made.

P.S. please don't hate on me too much, this is my opinion and some of the worst times of my life revolved around the time of my experiences with them, so maybe that's why I'm extra butt hurt over them, haha.

Fyi the brake lines (and electronic throttle lag )on the GMT800 sucked too much lag to even be usable(I had a 2004 GMT800 truck before, a Silverado ) the 2006 still have the issue of too much lag time they fixed it in the GMT900 though..


my grandpas 06 stalled out on me 5.3L .
brakes were slightly weak as well it was a awful drive and only got 12MPG!

Sorta like a 2-speed axle ??

Do want. Not as much as, say, a Datsun 510. But an oddball/rare factory turbo AWD manual pocket rocket would be cool.

Those little cars don't need to win a drag race.......

These little tykes out turn & out brake due to the weight ratio. FUN to road race!!
