Turbos are ceramic. I think there's something there.

IDK about you, but my truck warm's up really quickly. Once you're on the throttle it warms up quick.

Whole system's gotta weigh at least 100 lbs each. That's just dead weight. I'd rather be a little cold in winter. Just let it warm up first. Better for the engine, anyways.

It'd be "towards" center, but still forward of the center of mass. And usually 1 ton trucks get a beefier rear ends than their half ton counterparts. I'd presume because the cheaper rear end is more prone to failure.

Still front end weight. Only thing I can imagine balancing it is a Dana 60. At that point though, you've just fucked yourself with unsprung weight.

As someone from the North, why does anyone need this? Only advantage I can see is drying out wet pants.

The diff and tranny don't weigh significantly more than their stock counterparts, though.

As a Chevy fan, and a fan of custom engineering, and a fan of Hugh Jass motors, I regretfully must CP this. Owner would be better off just ditching the entire bed for weight savings.

Kraftwerk, you say?

If you cut out half of GM's sales, of course Ford's going to dominate. They love the fact that GM splits their trucks into both full size and compact models as well splitting their sales again between Chevy and GMC.

That's exactly my point. F-150 w/ Ecoboost competes with the Colorado, yet it isn't counted. Not trying to argue, just pointing out facts about the graph.

All top 40 on Classic Rock? No, all top 40 everywhere. Or maybe just really deep cuts. Don't expect to recognize most of the artists, and the ones you do, suck.

Your graph fails to show Sierra sales and doesn't take into account that GM also offers a compact truck.

>LS3 with an even SLIGHTLY more modern transmission, and THEN it would be worth $8k+

Yes, if you like your truck to be painted with bloody shit.

74% (as of now) have no idea what they're looking at. Hell, the drive train alone is worth it. Coupled with body that clean and an interior that tidy. Wish I had $8k laying around, I'd definitely drop it on this.

Looks like 4WD, high ground clearance and a low gear you could go straight down.

I had a 94 Century. Damn thing had "ODB 1.5", some proprietary thing that GM used for two years. The only tool compatible with it was $1500 and no shop had it. Mid 90's GM sucked

Reminded me of this. Make it big enough to hold a family and you got some safe and easy commuting. For the cheap price of expensive as hell.

230 HP in an STi is a lot different than 230 HP in a N/A 4 banger. The "Honda engines of yore" have very "peaky" power curves. Put your foot down, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, POWER!, shift immediately. A turbo "smooths" out the power curve, so you have a large window of power before needing to shift.
