Kyle, it's true the S-10's are slow, especially because I drive an R/T.
However I wonder if you or anyone else saw the Motor Trend Magazine show
on TV last Saturday? They had the GM engineers take a stock S-10 and
totally rework it into a BADASS, V-6 and all! They lowered and
re-suspended, put HUGE wheels & tires(20"-45/35), and a motor
enhancement (no SC or N2O) to the tune of 300 and change REAR WHEEL HP.
They actually showed the Dyno pull, useing a chassis dyno. The rear
wheel wells looked almost like a dually flare, yet this truck smoked the
tires! Big deal you say, can't buy one anyway, right? Wrong, it's called
S-10 Xtreme. I doubt you'll see many, or even ANY, the price has got to
be way out there. But I thought it was very interesting. Alan S.

Those 4.3's in the S-10's arent anything fancy at all........I spanked a 97
S-10 ZR2 4x4 bad with that 4.3L and he asked me at a stoplight, further down
the road after the spank, if I had the V8 318....I laughed and said nope, the
3.9L V6! Even worse he had an exhaust system and 25,000 miles on his....while
mine is bone stock with 95,000 miles(at the time).
