  • Chevrolet Reaper from Lingenfelter and Southern Comfort Automotive

    Big fan of Chevrolet's Silverado pickup but just wish it was a little more exciting? Lingenfelter and Southern Comfort Automotive might have the answer, in the shape of the recently-announced Reaper. The steroidal Silverado matches Lingenfelter's tuning expertise with Southern Comfort Automotive's styling wizardry to turn the regular Silverado into a dune-bashing, high-end performance pickup. It's the styling tweaks you'll notice first, the Silverado's usual upright chrome grille replaced by a shark-like nose whose edges shade the headlights in a menacing-looking scowl. In addition to the new...
