Huh? What's that S-10 doing? I just had to post this up because it was just too funny when it happened. I was riding with my brother in his car down the highway. He has a N/A 300 ZX with no more that 240hp. Anyways, we are just cruising when a white S-10 with a missing front bumper TRIES to fly by (it kinda just rolled by). It was loud as hell and I could tell it had no exhaust. He wanted to race my brother so bad. He even did a burnout behind us while we were stopped at a light. The funniest part about this whole situation is how slow it was. He would downshift and floor it next to us as we just laughed our asses off. We were doing about 60 and his engine would scream but the little truck wouldn't go anywhere initially and would finally INCH away. There were two other kids in the truck with him and they were laughing at him too. Finally my bro just left his ***. He still didn't leave us alone until he turned off...

My little brother has a V-6 S10 and it is a fun little truck to drive. It is in one of my videos. That is a (single) tire roasting machine. Has decent pep for what it is. He wants to swap a LS1 into it later. That ought to make a little difference.

I worked with a kid for a little while that had a brand new engine put in his S-10 (box-body). Still a V6 but he said it ran a mid 13 in the 1/4. He had nitrous and said it went 12's when spraying. It's a light truck so I believed him. I did see the engine. Very nice looking. Lots of MSD and Eddlebrock parts. When he started it up it sounded like a cammed V8 for a few seconds until it found its idle.

Dude, I used to drive an '88 cherokee 4.0 I6. I guarantee it would smoke the **** out of any stock four banger S-10.

I have a V6 Sonoma, and I don't see the problem here. Granted I make about 380 torque stock, but people don't know that when I pull up to em. When I take my cladding off I look perfectly normal except the whole lowered thing. Don't take our little trucks for granted
