He came up next to me and threw a couple of revs. It was a nice looking truck with a chevy badge. Looked like an S-10 but from the looks of the headlights I knew it wasn't.
Told them to go and I let them get a 1 car length jump on me going around 50. I quickly reeled them in and got them by 3 car lengths when I slowed down at 90.
Gave them a thumbs up and made my right at the stoplight. They proceed to follow me so I figured they wanted to talk to me.
Rolled to a stoplight and we exchange a friendly conversation. I asked him what he had under the hood and all I heard was inline 5. I was like WTF? I asked him AGAIN just to make sure. Then I thought to myself that it had to be a swap.
They wanted to go 1 more time and I agreed. I counted to 3 this time and I was not about to give them a jump. From a 20 roll I destroyed them.
Not sure what I just race so I figured I'd post it on this board to get more info. I'm not here bragging cuz that race was pretty sad
EDIT: Found out it was Colorado Sport after some searching...

Here's the numbers for the I5 engine:
220hp @ 5600 RPM
225 lb-ft torque @ 2800 RPM
Maybe he thought you were stock?![]()
My car still has the stock muffler on it for the sleeper look. The only thing that might've gave it away this the hissing sound from my turbo, which is a notable difference compared with the stock's.
Those trucks look good. Never ran a S-10 before so I'm not sure if they've gotten better or worst. Either way it didn't stand a chance against our car even if the wrx is stock.
I sort of wish i had the stock exhaust look. No one ever wants to play with me except cars that will totally destroy me.......z06's and 03 cobras.
Although i guess i raced a 1G Eclipse the other night. I was going down the freeway in the left lane doing 65 in a 60 and passed him then he gained speed to pull next to me. I floored and put about 2 cars on him by 90 while talking on the cell phoneLove my auto!
Not bragging or anything cause i know what the results of 1g eclipses/talons and 2 grand in your pocket can be.
