    Not very fast stock. They've had 10's with many a bolt on though.

    Yeah, there were a couple that ran at Red Rock. I was big into the S-truck stuff for awhile, still will be if I can get mine running.

    In 99-01 I was running down there quite a bit with a '93 S-10 w/350, 2wd standard cab, dark green. Got to meet quite a few people there, it was definitely a good time.

    Ya, and when I say the good old days, I am talking early 90's. Back when there was 8-10 SETS of cars waiting to run.

    Why would you get rid of the auto tranny?? Those things launched so hard out of the hole, your head was smashed against the headrest. Thats why those things where so fast, it took everyone else the rest of the 1/4 to catch it.

    the limited would get spanked, and if the typhoon had maybe 500 in mods, an absolute blowout, ive driven the 5.9, not really impressed.

    twin turbo 4.3 > nearly everything

    i believe that's what fastmark was rocking before his cobra. I saw one at my buddy's dealership a year ago they had traded in. It was a good 15 footer, but once you got close the thing was trashed. Someone who didn't know how to paint or install body panels worked on it and it was horrible :emo: . I'd love to find one for a winter driver.

    They're still going for a ton. here's a newer craigslist of one with under 80K.

    lmao @ $12.9k for a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD gmc Jimmy on steroids.

    I'd totally rock one but not for that kind of cash.
