The black truck
 
I know some of you have already seen it. But here it is. Just a normal s10. Truck just sounds fast that is all. I believe it will run in the 9's. 1/8th mile

THis stuff weighs next to nothing. Had to keep the heat out from inside the truck.

MAde a gauge pod/holder where the hvac controls once were. Had to bring them more in site of driver than on the floor

ANd here is the shot of the DOO DOO brown speedmachine

It did have a parachute on the back, but I had to remove it because I was afraid that the law would deem the truck "TOO FAST FOR CONDITIONS" all the time

OH and I guess since I have a 2:1 ratio of chevy to ford than I can say

Man I love the way that thing looks! Im not a big fan of black. Just because it to hard to keep up. But it looks good on that truck.

slowgreen99 07-07-2008 07:57 PM

superunknown 07-07-2008 08:46 PM

Damn jr nice looking truck !

LXtasy 07-08-2008 04:28 PM

Thanks Guys.

Well brad. That is why I am trying to find a posi and maybe some sticky tires. I doubt I can do that anytime soon. But would be nice.

Truck has a ways to go before it is "fast", don't get me wrong it moves pretty good. But there is some things that need to be changed for the performance side of things. But until than, it sounds fast.

wheres the Nawz ??

LXtasy 07-08-2008 04:50 PM

I drank it all.

WTFWSAT 07-08-2008 05:56 PM

Ha....Good lookin truck for sure !

Chris

LXtasy 07-08-2008 06:55 PM

I hope it can run at least half of what it looks like.

WWhittle 07-08-2008 09:02 PM

i like it

LXtasy 07-08-2008 09:11 PM

Thanks. If I had the cash, your motor would go great in it. :D

perm102 07-09-2008 02:49 AM

How many lengths will you give the bird?

LXtasy 07-09-2008 06:09 PM

NONE. You need to give it up for the black truck. Dude, its a freaking one leg wonder s-10 that gets no traction. I mean hell, you own a s-10 you know they aren't fast. SO you have to give it up.

slowgreen99 07-09-2008 08:40 PM

Lets see, bigger motor, lighter vehicle against my heavy v6. I may have a s10 but your motor is a little different than mine.:shock:

Yeah, he don't have a huffer on top of it. :hysterical:

Come on, Jimmy, set him out. Have a heart, man.

LXtasy 07-10-2008 04:30 PM

what displacement is your motor? What displacement is your S/c. You have drag radials even. Weight over the rear tires, and a hell of a lot more aerodynamic. I need to be set out. You have raced your car before. I haven't raced the slow mini farm truck. Just because it looks fast, doesn't mean it is.

Small v6 with a baby eaton. Drag radials are nitto so I am sure they won't hook great. 4k pound without driver. :bigthumb:

LXtasy 07-10-2008 09:27 PM

Drag radials are drag radials in this chat. lol

You got a posi? Forced induction and sit lower to the ground with more aerodynamics. You have more seat time than I do.

I want atleast 4 and the break.

4 and the break? :hysterical: A worn out diff. One wheel peel anyone?:roll: and I have seen you drive. Every stop light is a tree at the track for you.:twisted: Also, I don't have the tires on yet. I hope to have them on by this weekend.

I know you will beat me but I am tired of losing to the picklestang .:cry:

LXtasy 07-11-2008 04:29 PM

Thats all I have is one wheel peel. Street tires. At about 35% throttle it will smoke the one tire. NO TRACTION. So 4 and the break would give you time to go around me and slam on brakes.
