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.

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.

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.

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

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...

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...

Street racing will always be a bad idea. Not because its dangerous to you, cuz frankly IMO you can do w/e you want with your body and your property, but because it endangers other drivers lives.

I'm plenty guilty of doin it on several occassions, but its either because i'm prevoked (and have a short temper) and I gotta show someone who thinks they're soemthin their not (fast) but above all you gotta know when its too risky to do it, or its just plain too stupid to do it.

Is it REAL racing, no but probably 2% of drivers are real racers. The point is, be a sensible (as much as possible while racing) driver. I think alot of ppl's pride is at stake when they race and quitting isnt an option but you gotta know that theres a point where you need to stop.

I was wondering how long it would be before someone said something like this. I'm suprised it took as long as it did.

Cool, thanks for the info

I'm am always willing to learn anything about any car that I can. As for the whole street racing thing, I would have to take back my previous statement of "I will race anyone any time." I only race when I know the road and I can clearly see that there's nothing infront of me. There is a way to race safely, or at least safer on the street. Especially when I'm just racing a GT celica, and stopping at the quarter or before, there's not to much in hitting to high a speeds. If you do it, you have to be really careful and don't try to pull that F&F crap in and out of traffic, that is stupid.

guys, i think street racing is lame too, but usually the kind of street racing that people say causes accidents is not really street racing its like cat and mouse driving of swerving and passing, i dont pull that ****, the most i do is punch it at a stoplight or what not and that seems like what this guy did.

just fyi a lot of "street racing" accidents are classified that because it was a group of teenagers going really fast with a friend or two
