S10's are cool, I had a 97 GMC Sonoma GT. White, Extended Cab, Stepside. Think S10 Xtreme without the body kit but still factory lowered sport suspension and 16x8's with 245/50ZR16's. 4.3L High Output Vortec V6, 5 speed, 3.08 Zexel Torsion limited Slip. That with a CCAI, 5.7L Vortec TB(no restrictor plate and bigger), Shorty Headers, ORY, and 40 series Flowmaster split dual exits with 3" chrome tips, MSD 6A, MSD Blaster coil. I was up to 200rwhp and could suprise some 4.6L mustangs, and still get 30mpg+ on the freeway in 5th. I vote no to the prerunner 2wd...
