Talking Me vs S10 "extreme"

Im driving back to Gainesville from Jacksonville. Im cruising on 301 at around 55 (gas is to high to go much faster) I see headlights in the distance pulling up pretty fast, I get on it a bit still in 5th to see if he bites. He does three honk and we are off from 60 I start walking instantly. Rd 2 from 40 I start in 4th same result. So he says from a stop (good thing it was midnight lol). Three honks I floor it spinning all the way thru first Ive never spun that badly. Into 2nd still spinning but started to walk slowly finally got some traction and thats all she wrote. I had atleast two cars walking away by 60. I really expected to get destroyed. I know Im not fast but man those things are SLOW.
It was my first race on the streets so it was a lot of fun the couple mins it lasted.

Cliffnotes : First ever street race walked an S10 extreme from 60 and 40 and left him behind from a stop in my new edge sixer.

Around here we have a fair amount of v8 swaps into s10s. An ls1 would make a nice swap I tthink. Some of these v8 swap trucks are very fast,s10s are pretty light.

Was it a 4.3 Xtreme? I had a 99 SS s10 with catback K&N and a HPPIII and ran a 15.4 with it. Not sure what the Edge cars run.

If you drove a v6 mustang you wouldnt have very high expectations either lol. Im pretty sure new edge v6's run 15's w/ 4.10's maybe im down to low 15's. I have no idea what he was running. But yea you can easily spin thru 1st in a six banger. Hopefully ill start some serious modding after I graduate and come after some of you V8 guys

A stock new edge is a mid-high 15 second car. With your mods you're a dead heat for stock S197 V6's (low 15's-high 14's).

my buddy raced his mustang V6 agianst my friends s10 extreme 4.3 and beat him, but neither one of them know how to race they just flat out mash it. They think there hot ****, neither of them know **** about cars, and one just puts street glow and exterior **** on and some how thinks his X-treme is really bad. Now personally a 4.3L extreme like my other friends which is a regular cab short bed step bed i like it
