Raced an S-10 Extreme, Farely Proud of Myself Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I raced an Xtreme today and barely beat it. I thought this was pretty good considering I could here that he had an open exhaust and intake. And also considering the fact that I had 3 of my buddies in the car with me. Just wondering what people thought about these trucks.

Never liked em, always ran over them

What mods do you have ?

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

They have 175-180hp at 4400rpm, and 240-245lb-ft a 2800. They weigh 3500lbs. And the 0-60 time is 7.9. That doesn’t sound to bad. I checked these numbers on a couple sites. That’s for the V6.

My ex has one. I don't like them much at all.. they seem cheesy or something. I dunno..

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

For mods, I don't have to much really. I've got a CAI, and exhaust work done. I've also got a lightweight flywheel. Mostly I just keep really good maintenance on my car and always put the best on it whenever I replace any part. I put in synthetic everything, and 93 octane in every tank. There are a few other things on the engine that make it go, but nothing big.

I'll mess with anything that pulls up next to me. Seriously, both me and my dad will race anyone at anytime. We both have our fare share of tickets though. I've never raced for money though, I'd like to. And dude, you look just like my brother. But obviously your cooler than he is, he's the black sheep in the family. He hates cars, my dad and I dissowned him.

What is barely Beating you mean ?
Ive been in a race Before vs an Extreme truck and they are very quick.Even stock they are.

I got him by about 6 feet at around 100-150feet before a quarter. I've heard they are quick, that's why I was proud.

thats awesome,bro... btw.. whats an xtreme?.. just curious

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

The xtreme is the sports package on the s-10 pickups and blazers. It adds the 4.3 vortec (read above for specs) and a body kit. And I think it's a little lower to the ground too, maybe some supension upgrades.

Street racing is weak-sauce... any fool can push the pedal to the ground... I'd go on more... but then again... I have to cater to a lot of these "fools"... Hey, whatever floats your boat brotha...

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

You have a good point Kwanza. I'd love to get on a track. Drag racing isn't really my thing either, I like Auto X. I've always loved to race. Since I was 5-6 and I raced mini bikes. Most important things in life are going fast, and the occasional chick.

Sometimes its all someone can do with their car, not everyone has access to a track or money to spend on dragging constantly or auto-x'ing. Most all of these peoples cars are daily drivers not meant to be beaten like that and they dont have 4, 5 or 6 other cars in their back yard.

I know what your getting at but man, cut some slack.

Of course bro... I do cut slack... but really now... some people are not cut out for fast driving and that's why there are a lot of street racing involved accidents. That's not saying anything about bigmeanie... but just in general you know? Better before an accident or something than after. I go on about the sorts of stuff at the shop... and I've seen a lot of aftermath results from poor drivers trying to street race.

Don't worry bout it. So long as you have fun... that's what counts. Just try to do it safely...
