Most people just reveled in the way the overtly in-your-face Raptor tickled the funny bone of our collective truck-loving id; the place in our brains where unavoidable, Pavlovian, and instinctive impulses live. The Raptor is so id, it's Id. Meet mini-id, the new Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison, an off-roader fortified with the vitamins and minerals needed to tackle your Tonka-flashback dreams.

The ZR1 faced off against a class of strong contenders that included the Audi RS 5, BMW M5, Ford Mustang GT Performance Pack Level 2, and Jaguar I-Pace.

But you need to corral all that power and channel it to the pavement, and the ZR1 can't just be a track weapon that beats up the driver on the road. Would the ZR1 offer...
