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

u my friend are mistaken 90 present of the ppl on here run iron 5.3 or iron 6.0 motors they both only come in trucks
as if it even matters

the GenIII motor was orignally designed for the cars, all the technology came from those platforms...Thus why the motor is labeled a car motor no matter what platform its in

[slammed98gmc]

Yup, black x is 3900 with no driver. Full weight single cab xtreme with iron 408 and rear mont 91mm. He actually ran a 8.8@153 ish last year.

so 3500lbs on leafs and caltracs on a small tire vs a 3800lb truck that is backhalfed on a huge tire

small cubes single turbo vs big cubes and twins

interesting battle of comparison there

A s10 is still lighter than a full size regardless the argument lol.if I put my setup in a mini i would have a single digit truck as well but I rather try and get there in my heavy full size show truck

[Frenchy]

Plus the S10 chassis just plain works. But you guys sound like a bunch of whimpering Lightning owners.

[George C]

are you aware there are fullsize trucks that are lighter then some s10s that are racing? what makes it any different?
