Is z56 an urban legend?

those z56 tahoes are cool as hell

in 2000 chevy made the Tahoe Limited, it was a z56 with a "ground effects" body package.. It was the Tahoe SS they never made. You could only get them in Onyx black with gray leather interiors. I passed on a nice one early last year that needed an engine, and I had zero play money.

They sat lower than the others, too.
No idea on how they went about that.
H/O alternator. Upgraded brakes.
IIRC, but don't hold me to this, but seems to me that they also had dual batteries, the bigger C2500/3500 Fr/Rr sway bars & 3.73's (?) in a 10b. with a G80.
It's been a while since these were brought up. #memorybad.

Where's Dave? 88GMCtruck. He'd know.

I don’t need a certified 130 mph cluster to go that fast, says I am certified drive on that plastic card the police ask for when I’m stopped for doing 130mph.

The off road shop that has the Monster Burb, has a Tahoe Limited behind their fence that I saw today, too dark to get a picture but I have to go back by there Saturday so I'll try to get some. It's beautiful, looks very clean, has the original wheels, and it's not black. Pewter,as a matter of fact!
Too bad I can't breed it with my Burb,get lotsa nice parts...

I wish I could find the center For the Z56 to put on my rims maybe repaint them too. When I was talking about the Tahoe limited ones I mean the alloy ones those look snazzy. But I guess the steelies look good too on those kind of trucks

To be honest if I could own another vehicle which I wouldn't because of budgeting and the idea of owning another car more responsibility. I know I'm acting like an adult in the blandest way possible yet. I know the suck part of living in the city lack of parking. Trouble is I might become a car hoader if I live in the middle of nowhere having a rusted out junkyard say yep I will restore it someday. But I do wish I could have a Z56 Tahoe so I could put my indoor conversation piece on top of the roof for shows only of course.

I got to say the WT style grill on the Tahoe looks pretty cool to be honest little different from the usual composite headlights split grill
