SmokesGTP Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 only a 2.2? o gees, you need to upgrade to the 4.3 vortec, stat Exactly what I was thinking. Anyway, congrats on the purchase and get some ponies into that ride immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 it isnt THAT bad with a manual. It can sure kill half of the cars on this board! My dad has a '96 with the same powertrain, and has the 8 ft bed and the truck still moves nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomFE3 Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 BTW i didnt mention this before but that is a nice truck, i like the style of those newer s-10s and sonomas, i have a 92 sonoma with the 4.3 and that hauls ass, and my cousin had a 98 sonoma with the vortec 4.3, didnt get a chance to drive it but he had that truck lookin nice, bigger tires, chrome bumperguard, flared fenders, ventshades on the sides and covering the windshield wipers up front, tinted windows with cowskin seat covers, lol, that was a nice truck..

topless94style Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I like S10s nice trucks. I like the 4.3 better though with the 5 speed! my dad has a 95 vortec 5 speed it hauls. Cant take my car though. Atleast i dont think so. And i doubt he would race me anyway. I still love S10's with small blocks in them though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99RegalGS Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I have an S-10 also. Had it for two months now. Got it for $400 + an 1982 S-10 (sold $90) and a bed cap (want to sell). Only problem is the syncro is going bad on 2nd gear so I try to skip 2nd whenever possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJB Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I had a '93 S10 and now Ive got an '89 and both have 2.8's and 5 speeds and are slow as shit. I cant imagine driving one with a 4 cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99RegalGS Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I think 2.5L 4 had 95hp. At least the 2.8 has 125hp. One thing that I thought was wierd. Why didn't GM upgrade the engine to the 3.1 like the FWD cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme_style21 Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I really love those ZR2 S-10's. If I had the cash, I'd seriously consider one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimp19 Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I'd rather hae a fullsize truck or a V-8 Dakota, S-10s are big or powerfull enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 it isnt THAT bad with a manual. It can sure kill half of the cars on this board! My dad has a '96 with the same powertrain, and has the 8 ft bed and the truck still moves nice. I raced a newer 2WD S10 5 speed with my Jeep. I embarrased it, and he even chirped the tires into 2nd. And my Jeep isn't exactly a rocket, probably slower than my Cutlass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
