Saw a Thunder Package Avalanche at the dealer last eve. Pewter.

Had a Whipple Supercharger, a Volant induction system, custom chrome rims and tires. Did not see the full equipment list, but it only had the cloth seats - it was not leather or N.F. edition.

The sticker price was $45K - I bet the sucker would haul some serious a** though !!!

Anyone have a Thunder, or know of one and what the full equipment list is?

Laterz...
 
Lars-

please accept my nomination to join the avy owners spy club - your first assignment is to take spy photos of the Thunder Av! and post them here of course . . :eek:

so we can replicate the package on our own without the markup, of course!

Heh heh heh! I think the General hired gandolphxx as a Product Manager...

;D
 
Xrover let the secret out on another post - since the AV line already had the "North Face" editon, this one will be known as the "South Bad A&&" edition.

It will come standard with SC or 150 shot NOX, cutouts and ET tires - all supported by local dealers, who are in training as we speak.

It will also feature:
1. Neon wiper blades
2. Large wing to replace hard cover
3. Your choice of 100 stickers that can be dealer applied.
4. Quad 8" exhaust tips under the rear neon lighting.
5. 5000 watt stero system with external woofers.

And since this is a special "edition" you get two surplus Army blankets, two Dukes of Hazard "T" shirts and an Uncle Booger Bumper Dumper.

This is a limited time offer - send large checks to me now to reserve your spot in the order line. ;D
 
Thats only availble as a dealer install if you get the 2/4 lowering option on the 4x4 version;D

BTW, did I forget to mention the Dukes of Hazard air horn? :rolleyes:
 
no, you didn't mention it... But I also heard they will give you a Vin Diesel haircut to go with the truck.
 
Yes pics would be nice....Let's see what the thunder is all about! :D
 
does this mean that we can go to the dealer and have them install this on our Av's? ?or certain dealers only? ?and if so, i should be covered under existing warranty or its own? could you possible find out larss-ss, pretty please?

:eek: wow :eek: and S/C Av of my own?!?! whew can barely breathe ?;D

Now this is how an AV sticker ought to look - $45K ;D
 
Anyone that would pay over 45,000 for that should be shot. There is know way that all the add ons they put on there cost 10k. Plus another 3k tacked on just for the hell of it. There's one here in California that has everything on the sticker, minus the supercharger and they have 46K on the sticker. The only reason they put these stickers on them is because there are IDIOTS out there that just have to have it and will pay out the a** to get them. Instead of buying it plain, having it all done and saving $3-6K. Go ahead and buy it, at least I'll have money to put gas in mine and drive it around. ;D
 
I think that the point of the post was the addons, not the sticker price which we all know is just the starting point in the negotiations. ;D

Ow, the violence. ?I don't think ANYONE pays sticker now. ?If so, they should be shown the light, not made to bleed from between their eyes!! ? Plus, it is not my money, but I sure would like to make that profit!!!! :)
 
lars-ss !!!!!!! Where are the spy photos. I did my part and found the sticker. Gandolphxx is getting prices for all the mods. Now Pictures are needed. SPY SPY SPY
 
I find it very useful to see which aftermarket performance mods Chevy corp. supports and thinks work well together. Also interesting to see where they went with wheel size - confirms what I found out - going with the 16 inch rims lets you put on more (and bigger/more aggressive looking) rubber without clearance probs, unless of course they tweaked the T bars a bit. looks like they started with a Z71 and they throw in the Z71 wheels/rubber. Would then seem to me that this is a Dealer-done job, right?

Gotta ask - why the cloth on their highest-end Avy?

Lars, you are doing great. We have faith in you . . .
