A Stock-Ish Version Of The Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Is Going Off-Road Racing

If you want to prove your off-road-friendly pick-up truck is a tough son-bitch, entering ‘Vegas to Reno’ is a pretty damn good way to do it. It’s a tortuous, 550-mile off-road race, taking on anything from dry lake beds to tough mountain passes, all of which will be taken on with a stock Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 this year.

Well, not quite stock: to be included the “stock production” 7300 class, it’s been necessary to add a roll cage, a 166 litre racing fuel tank, and racing bucket seats complete with harnesses. There are also racing lights - which look awesome - two-way radios and a GPS system.

The ZR2’s clever Multimatic dampers have also received unspecified modifications, although the 3.6-litre V6 and eight-speed automatic gearbox remain completely stock.

What’s particularly interesting is that Chevrolet says this particular ZR2 “acts a testbed for Chevy Performance and hints at a range of potential parts to be offered for ZR2 as well as the standard Colorado.”

The Hall Racing-modified vehicle will be departing later today with Chad Hall at the wheel, arriving at some point tomorrow morning.

It is illegal in most of the race classes because of its turbos. Most dont allow forced induction
