[JROD©™®]

i once came across an Xtreme with 335/35ZR17 in the rear...how wide can you go in the back?? cause thats pretty wide isn't it...

:D

[Lvtrucks2000]

I hope you meant 235 and not 335. I belive in the rear you can go as wide as 255

[Mattrodomus]

I was told at the tire place 255 max. 335? dang isnt that like corvette. Youd have to tub it

[JROD©™®]

probably was tubbed...it was a concept xtreme...the same one i always blab about... :D its the one that got away...


335...thats what...just about 13"s...now thats traction...

[96BlkSLS]

When did they come out with that concept Xtreme? I remember seeing it at a Super Chevy show back in the mid 90's. I have pictures of it kicking around...it was a copper color, if you're talking about the same truck.

[JROD©™®]

yeah that was it...called the xtreme force s10...i really need to download the article and the pics...every now and then it comes up when i search for it...but not always...

[Mattrodomus]

hey gimme a link guys if youve got one. ive seen a xtreme with a v8 dualies in the back it too was concept.



is it this one http://autoreviews.com/Detroit/s10xtreme.jpg

Here's an article on the Xtreme force S-10 (http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/concept_cars/1267926.html)

[Mattrodomus]

wow your fast thanks, it says here : The beauty of this package is that the extreme hormones needed to transform any stock S-10 2-wheel-drive pickup into the nasty X-treme Force version you see here are available at any Chevrolet dealer parts counter.
Ok what are the part numbers id love to have a v6 4.5 with that much power

Erm, you mean 4.3 v6, not 4.5, I think. :)

[JROD©™®]

no he means a GM Motorsports 4.5L V6 with 450hp...for the dedicated v6 owner. i'm sure GM PP has the parts...I've seen the 4.5L components, but it would appear you would have to build this one from scratch no crate engine... :-(

[flyinbryan06]

nope..pretty sure the article say 4.5. :)

[eriks98s10]

that looks clean as hell with those fat rear tires...

[Rob]

What I want to know is how they got 450 hp out of it. It appears to be naturally aspirated too. It's hard enough to get that much power out of a s/c'ed 4.3L now days.

[steve]

Damn those are some impressive trucks. I would sell my left nut for that Xtreme Force or that DaKota Sidewinder.

[JROD©™®]

i've got the specs on that motor...its quite a piece of work..should i share..or keep it to myself...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

its a plethora of go fast goodies...and this thing was made prior to 2000. might be possible to be a better faster, more powerful v6 today...

[Rob]

Where did you find all of that info? That is a whole lot of stuff. I see why it is making so much power: very high compression, really high lift cam, and large valves. Still very impressive.

I think it might be a little difficult to make that much power with the new Vortech 4.3L. Pretty sure the 2 bolt mains won't hold, but if you used that block and like you said with the new products out now, that would be a sight to see.

[Ron]

Here's another pretty sweet S-10.......ZZ4.3 Xtreme (http://www.pickuptruck.com/html/stories/gmtoys/toys1.html) Too bad it was only a concept. :(

[Dimemaster]

That ruck would suck on the street, unless you were doing the big-bucks street racing. Then you'd make a lot of money.

[s10mafia50]

HUH, i think i may get a new clutch and make a dyno appt in indianapolis. Anyone know where i can get 6speed manual for dirt cheap??? Like under $500.... Then maybe I will have something close to that awesome truck. BTW, why did they need to use the brakes on the zz4.3L?? I mean all i ever did was pop the clutch at about 3k, and as long as you keep the foot on the gas it'll keep turning them. At least on street tires. Awesome trucks though.
Andrew

P.S. Anyone know the closest dyno to evansville,IN...I mean in like Louisville or St Louis...Thanks
