Chevrolet has been a part of the Best in the Desert racing series with the help of Hall Racing and modified Chevy Colorado ZR2. Chevrolet and Hall Racing have spent around 10,000 off-road racing miles validating and tuning ZR2 performance parts that make the truck quicker and far more capable for high-speed desert running.
Chevy Performance is now offering these parts for anybody to order either via a participating Chevrolet dealership or online under chevrolet.com/performance
In total, Chevy is offering 15 parts and most of them can be purchased separately. In total, including the race-spec DSSV spool-valve dampers all of the parts together cost approximately $23,000. Adding all of these parts to your ZR2 makes it the exact truck that is participating in the race series. Naturally, the actual racing truck also has a full roll-cage, communication radio, fuel cell, additional lights, spare tires, and tools.
