Same set up (car or truck engine setup) will be totally different in a full size vs a mini truck. Power to weight is what any time boils down too. If I wanted to win the shootout every year, I would have an S10 or El Camino built with half the money the Full Size guys spend and win every time. Anyone can take it as trash talk or whatever they want, it is the simple truth. Obviously I could care less or I would pour ALOT more money at my truck and it would not weigh a ton.

old blue ford with the 6cyl runs in the 8's I'm pretty sure. And to say that an S10 can be built for half the money to keep up with the big boys I woulds say is a bit of a stretch. The S-10 arent really that light. They do make way more stuff for them in the Drag race dpt.

Well that's funny, my truck weighed 3675 when it was new and stock! And it still weights 3475 with me in it now. That must be a 4cly 5 speed truck or something with 14" steel wheels.
Still doesn't matter, it's a run what u brung competion brother.
you are right on the dot right there bo. s10s are stupid light the 80s s10s are in the 2800 lbs range
there is no way on this gods green earth that a s10 is 500 lbs lighter stock for stock.

You are right, the first gens are crazy light, not the second gens though.
I have a time slip at the house from 1999 when my truck was bone stock that has 3675 written on it which was the weight at the track.
weighed my s10 back in 01 and wasnt no where near that light...4100 with me in it 4wd truck....
farmtruck isnt much heavier then this LT1 s10 difference is what 200 lbs?
then you have that black xtreme that was known to have a rear mount was 4200 race weight and was a low 9s truck
