I would probably go with the 4.7 if it was available with the R/T package.
But since its not.... Another fear is durability. To me the 4.7 hasnt proven
itself yet. I'll admit the thing run like a champ, but it doesnt have 30+
years under its belt.
One more question... Where do you get the chrome R/T wheels?!?!?!!
p.s. oh yea... (ducking) Avalanche
