Zo6 Vette vs 5.3 s10

[RHTbluetrokadriver]

Rootin for the s-10 all the way!

[InDaJeep4x4]

you can argue over what vett that is, its still a pretty impressive truck.

[MoreThanJackass]

Those rims on the s10 are sick!

[Dubstepper42]

i love that rev limiter sound

[mykulc]

My very first vehicle was a 1984 S10.......it wasn't quite this fast. :D ...Holy Monkey Shit, that's a mean truck dude.

[MrStreck]

thats how i race. hit rev limiter lol not!!

[dstrong1337]

Holy fuck that trucks mean whats all been done to her

[b00314194]

nice bounce off the rev limiter for 3 seconds...

[gmclark2007]

@b00314194 once it hits it sticks

[1QwkSC]

@gmclark2007 needs a shift kit. nice truck!

[alexrex20]

@gmclark2007 riiight. you almost lost to a pickup.

[76CloverLand]

great race keep up the good work the hell with them haters

[MPB3000]

the corvette looks like a c5 not c6!

[gmclark2007]

@MPB3000 yea it's a c5..no way a cam only 5.3 3500lb s10 would do that well against a c6 z06

[CaioSDMF]

@MPB3000 Nobody says its a c6

[ELpincheWEROdeLETHAL]

@MPB3000 it says z06 not c6 

[FoxRcr7]

s10 has some balls

[spuddud19]

@th3b34st31 looks like it did a pretty decent job to me moron

[trueX5]

the truck would have won if not for the rev limiter

[TH3B34ST31]

lol @ the guys in the s10 trying to race a z06!

[gmclark2007]

@TH3B34ST31 trying?? how about DOING!! take a minute to watch "Zo6 vs 5.3 s10 round 1 and 2" to see a s10 outrun a z06...

[AlchemistHawk]

baaaaaaaaaaaaad rev limiter. someone can't shift properly....

[gmclark2007]

@AlchemistHawk yea your right..the only time it ever happened is when I was running a ls6..kills me.

[pbee73]

Sounded like that vette is an automatic?!? If it is then it isnt a Z06!

[gmclark2007]

@pbee73 it's a manual z06..

[pbee73]

@gmclark2007 @ I will take your word for it but at 0:13 it shifted like an automatic, unless I was hearing the truck. Both have GM motors so its safe to say that both may have very similar exhaust notes!

[gmclark2007]

@pbee73 yea it's defiantly a manual..checked it out myself

[GunslingerGrim]

@pbee73 Sounded like he bounced it off the rev limiter to me.

[gmclark2007]

@GunslingerGrim sure did

[woodgrain18]

i got to give you props man excellent build all the way around but i think it would look fuckin awsome with black and chrome weld rts's 17 by 4's in the front 15 by 10's on the rear with race rubber BUT ANY EAYS MAN SWEET TRUCK dont be insulted by my opinion lol

[gmclark2007]

@woodgrain18 thanks man and I will look into those..been looking for a set of wheels for the track

[apocalypse2012x]

The fatest car in the world would probably be the v16 cadillac they may be slow at take off but when they get going shit nobody haves what it takes

[jortiz87gto1]

fuck that S10 is fast!!!!

[supraluvers]

gotta watch that over rev  haha nice

[wkeil1981]

nice dyme

[ephixful]

who ever is driving the vette just sell it please ur weak.

[TH3R4iNMAN]

@ephixful dude stfu the s10 is mad fast

[2stage90]

When you get a chance can you PM me the mods on the S10. Im starting a similar project and would like to know what all was done to the 5.3 Thanks.

[gmclark2007]

@2stage90 scroll down the page a little and you will see the mods listed with rounded prices next to them

[hambone155]

DANNNNNNGGGG!



[johnsonjeremiah74]

what did you think when that truck hung with ya hahaha i though oh shit hes gonna win lol

[canthony1019]

I miss my old ls6 s10 :(

think i might just have to get another one here soon & start myself another build thread on s10forums....

[gmclark2007]

@canthony1019 DO IT!

[canthony1019]

@gmclark2007 I'm thinkin on it.. I finished up my last one 2 years ago & had to get rid of it after doing $800 of work & swapping out heads I had it for 3 more days & some jackass broke into it, popped my hood, stole my battery, cut my wiring harness beyond repair, took my head unit, a 1 month old jl comp sub, smashed my windows, cut my seats, stole my tinted tail lights, but not my projectors & left the damn remote start -_-.. & "full coverage" insurance wouldn't cover shit.....

[gmclark2007]

@canthony1019 damn hate to hear that..this truck was stolen from the shop I had it at about three years ago..they ran it through the gate and left it three blocks down the road luckily

[wolfman5494]

Was there any clearance issues when you put this engine in the truck? Also what transmissions does it bolt up to? I'm not sure if my 5 speed is the same bolt pattern.

[gmclark2007]

@wolfman5494 I notched the cross member to run the truck oil pan but you dont have to if your running a slimmer style pan..im running a 4l60e trans

[wolfman5494]

@gmclark2007 What aboot the powersteering pump? I've heard you have to notch the frame where the pulley is.

[gmclark2007]

@wolfman5494 I switched over to a 08 vette steering pump

[autigers2010nc]

That is a fst little truck, damn!!!

[YouSoundButtHurt]

Nice run... vette smoked you though.

[gmclark2007]

@YouSoundButtHurt thanks..yea he got me on this run but check out "zo6 vs 5.3 s10 round 1 and 2" and you will see vice versa

[YouSoundButtHurt]

@gmclark2007 I just watched it... you killed him on round 1 but round 2, though close, he beat you.  Strong truck though must be fun to drive.

[supers0viet]

if your truck didnt hit the rev you would have opened about 1.5-2 trucks hah

nice build... any times on this little monster?

[gmclark2007]

@supers0viet yea for sure..best time was a 12.33@110 cam only with the 3.42s..now running a 3.90

[gmclark2007]

That right there is $20,000+ in PARTS alone. And that's not even all of them!!! Just what pops to the top of my head. Not including the drag rims and tires(1000+), new dash etc....

Point is don't call me a liar. I have three folders with receipts poring out of them specifically for the truck that I know will add up to $30,000+(Shop fees and Advance Auto receipts included / truck NOT included).

[gmclark2007]

This is a rough list of PARTS and what they cost. NO labor or small things that defiantly add up to large amounts included.

So get out your calculator and get to work.---------------- Memphis mids(100) Infity highs(100) Rockford amp(300) Pioneer head unit(300) TRZ control arms(1000)

[ckelley63]

@gmclark2007 Sorry to hear you have all that money into a plain Jane S-10.



[gmclark2007]

@ckelley63 don't be sorry man it's not your money...to me it's money well spent as it puts a smile on my face every time I hop in the truck...it also makes my day when I spank the shit out of some $50,000+ car in my pickup that's loaded down with shit from lowes

[CarefullySleek]

This truck is gorgeous. Haters are always going to hate. What made it stay it the gear?

[gmclark2007]

@CarefullySleek Thanks man. and they damn aure will, more fuel to the fire! The anwser to that question is ME. It's very rare that I let it hit the limiter but we were going from a 30 roll and I needed to be at a high rpm on the jump for great results but I didnt realize just how quick the rpms climbed and by the time I manually shifted into 2nd it was to late..she caught the rev limiter and I lost the race like a dumbass..

[CarefullySleek]

@gmclark2007 well that kinda stuff happens.. i occasionally miss shift when i'm in a rush to hit 3rd my truck. again cool truck. i don't care what someone drives. if they deserve the props i give it to them.

[CarefullySleek]

@gmclark2007 Have you run it down the track yet?

[gmclark2007]

@CarefullySleek yea man the best run was 12.33 at 110 in the 1/4 mile with a 1.74 60ft all motor..since then I have removed the 3.42s for 3.90s and should run a little better

[CarefullySleek]

@gmclark2007 yeah the gear change should make some difference on the time. just now it will have a little more torque.. not that it didn't before lol.

[wolfman5494]

How did this bill come out to $30,000? Did you do the work yourself?



[gmclark2007]

@wolfman5494 subtract 8 grand off of the 30,000 as that included the price of the truck. I did most of the work myself but somethings I had to let the shop handle as I'm in college and don't have the garage and tools needed to do everything like I had back home. these high end parts add up real quick. I just dropped another grand on a set of control arms(TRZs). only the best on this truck!

[wolfman5494]

@gmclark2007 alright, cuz i've seen what people have done on s10s and 30 grand is the highest reported i have seen.

[mjakaa]

Regular cab s-10s are the number 3 cause of suicide. Try riding in one for more than 30 minutes. Too cramped but that is one sick ass truck. Keep it up man!

[gmclark2007]

@mjakaa I made sure to put those fat ass leather blazer seats in for a good ride, but yea it can be quite cramped sometime. That's why I have the Yukon for a daily driver;)

[gmclark2007]

@mjakaa and it doesn't hurt that im only 5'10" 150lbs... I make three hour trips all the time with perfect comfort(on the drivers side, passenger side is a bit more cramped) while getting 27mpg

[ztwntyn8]

a lower shift point mph into 2nd and would have been even closer.... impressive

[corvette199924]

very impressed by this truck! very fast to be able to keep up with a vette for a bit. good job

[LimitlessAeon619]

only s10 I've seen that I like more than this one was a drag truck with a 602 on Pinks. Sick rides

[Bfiorvante1]

Impressive

[bloodynuggets]

5.3.... I like it!

But then in the end... you still have a retarded sounding horn :p

[irocdreamer]

@bloodynuggets and its still an S10.

[Ho88e5]

GOOD GAWD MAN! That truck caught me off guard!

[gmclark2007]

if I wouldn't have hit the rev limiter I would have beat him...watch "zo6 vs 5.3 s10 round 1 and 2" and you can see me pull on him the 1st round

[evilsnake213]

not a chance lol but hey its a vette lol but the s-10 kept up better than i was thinking it would

[gmclark2007]

the rev limiter is so i don't pop the motor...trust me you don't want to rev past what your setup can handle

[XBOYZ45]

that s10 has balls 

[gigantamos]

NICE, I own a 2000 S10, it's my goal one day to eventually do what you did. How well did the 5.3 fit in there?

[I6PWR]

Regardless of the fact the vette won, that S10 runs hard...perfect sleeper without forced induction...nice job!

Granted the LS6 powered Z06 is an entirely different animal from thre LS7, the fact LS6 had to work for the win is still impressive.

[ml4confuse]

wow hahahahaha i prefer that s10 ,,, really : O

[virvejcb]

Nice Truck! Did you floor it right on the honk :(

[I5ZQ8]

i believe that was the revv limiter lol

[gmclark2007]

good job on the build but 5k couldn't get you close to what i have in this truck..hell Ive close to that in suspension

[PBPsexMACHINE]

in my mind, i was like..." the vette is obviously going to smoke this truck whats the point of rac-...oh..."

[718ss454]

i did my ls swap s10 for under 5g including the price of the truck

[gmclark2007]

you can build a budget s10 with a LS motor for right under 10 grand, but this was no budget build. I've used only the best of the best for this truck. a lot of time and research was put into EVERY part that was place on this unit from the best Yank stall convertor, FLT transmission, ThunderRacing cam and valve train...the list goes on and I have over 30,000 in receipts(including the 8,000 for the truck in 2004)...you can take a look on my channel and find a post where I listed some of the mods

[ls12690]

@gmclark2007 you shoulda put in a 6.0 liter, same external size but more power

[Ben762x51]

I'm much more impressed by the S10. He actually did something to his car, and apparently can drive better. haha

[GKDSoldier]

wow how much does a z06 cost? an u barely beat a 5000 dollar truck with lets be so very generous with 25000 in the motor swap included? z06 loses its ass in the long run as far as money is concerened

[DwnNvr]

@GKDSoldier Well you can get a used Z06 of this age for under 25,000..

[GKDSoldier]

@DwnNvr but i was bein very generous on the swap an amount of money in the motor an i aint the vette expert that would be my little brother

[DwnNvr]

@GKDSoldier Well lets be honest. That truck probably cost him at least 10 grand, and spent another 10 grand for the motor and all the work putting it in. It's probably more like a 20-25,000 truck. Right there with a used Z06 of this model. Now, for the same money i'd rather have a Z06. It's much more "tuneable" than the truck.

[GKDSoldier]

@DwnNvr ok but lets say take a bone stock 5.3 an a bone stock ls6 or what ever is in the vette (cause i sure as hell dont know) an lets do a heads an cam swap with the dyno tune to make it run right which one would be cheaper? my bet would be the 5.3

[67mustangreg]

@DwnNvr ..dude what? $10K? No. That truck stock is like 4 or 5 tops. the engine is like another 1,000 and a few more in upgrades and custom work. I';d say $10K total, tops.

[DwnNvr]

@67mustangreg No. Lol. The engine is 3-4K cylinder heads is at least 1k if not 2k. For my old ford focus for ONE head I was going to spend at least 1k.. The cam is 200 not including new retainers/springs. Lets not forget there is many more pieces to do a swap, I just don't feel like getting into it that deep. The cheapest 1500 i could find that was in good shape such as this truck was 6,500. And i'll say a good 2,500 to have it all done. This is dare bone.

6,500

3,500

1,500 200

2,500

=

14,200

[miniimoto95]

@DwnNvr LMAO 1k for a OEM f.o.r.d. head? that's ridicules, for a DSM you can get a nice built head for around 2-3k... or on a subaru you can get 2 COSWORTH heads complete except cams for around $4000

used 5.3 out of a 1/2 ton should run you $1500 with the wiring and ECU... then figure $1000 for a completely forged internal rebuild

2WD 2nd gen reg cab SB S10--- $1500-3500 here in colorado

only lazy cunts pay for shops to do their mechanic work for them...

[DwnNvr]

@miniimoto95 Your ignorance is amazing. To prove it, try to figure out what i am referring too. Btw 1k for the head is not oem. It comes with port polish 3 angel valve job cam and cam gears. <--- is not what i was referring too.

[miniimoto95]

@DwnNvr why would you waste money trying to make a zetec/duratec(assuming) engine into a performance engine? just because SVT did doesn't make it one, the motor was built so you could get 30+mpg and be more reliable then any prior ford engines(like the POS 4.0)

and by the way "port and polish" is bad, polishing the intake reduces fuel atomization, hence less complete burn causing worse gas mileage and wasted potential.

[DwnNvr]

@miniimoto95 Simply stating the facts. SVT did a poor job on the focus. The duratec can become a performance engine much easier than the zetec, however there are 400+hp zetec engines out there being DD. Also, when you port and polish the head it obviously varies with eah type of head because you don't port or polish the entire head because of what you said. However, throwing a number out like 75% of it being PP the remaining 25% would allow for atomization would still cause a desired effect.

[psmTARDCORE]

@miniimoto95 or we just have the money to do so... what an ignorant comment.

[miniimoto95]

@psmTARDCORE trusting some random mechanic with your life? say the motherfuck is doing some suspension work, forgets to put a cotter pin back in, a week later your cruising at 75-80 and boom, your front driver side collapses and pulls you into the oncoming lane

[psmTARDCORE]

@miniimoto95 lol how many times has that happened with major shops? I have a 370z and if I wanted to get it supercharged I would go to Stillen. Haven't seen any issues with their kits yet. If I had waited and bought a C6 Z06, I would take it to Hennesy for their CA smog legal kits, haven't seen issues with those... You don't take your car to some mom and pop shop, you gotta pay to play...

[miniimoto95]

@psmTARDCORE true enough, i would trust performance shops like Hennesy, or STM who have great reputations.... my problem is with just normal shops and stealerships..... i have only let anybody else work on any of my cars once(stealership mechanic... temporary plug the coolant lines to the heater core so i could drive home and replace it without worrying about overheating) and i looked over everything, before i started the engine.... i don't trust random fuckers nor do i pay them.

[audioinstaller2004]

Hey bro get ya a Jet computer programer and turn that rev-limiter an speed limiter off!

[LandoFresh22]

sickest s10 ever !



[gmclark2007]

i am..and i would have kept pulling if i didnt hit the rev limiter and lose that momentum

[MrChriskenser]

@gmclark2007 LOL i love the tags for this video hahaha made my day car sounds sweet tho

[jhiggi28]

@gmclark2007 why do you have a rev limiter? a simple chip or cheap software for a dyno tune will solve that.

[scottfree6]

@gmclark2007 yeah you would that thing is a beast but better safe than sorry, i heard it kick in just as you were gettin past him and you definitely would have kept on passin brother :) i have a z-06 myself thats just about at 600hp on just engine, i NEVER used the nitrous only cuz i never had the occasion to, but i think i'd be hittin the DO NOT TOUCH button if you were to the right of me:) that is one nasty truck my friend, well done, well built and designed, it sounded like it had more. nice!

[xGODLYxSKiLLeDx666x]

@gmclark2007 u put 30.000bucks in a shitty s10 way what a dumb ass. and another thing when u reply to people hit the reply button on the side of there name so they will get the message ass

[MrBriggsie]

@xGODLYxSKiLLeDx666x Why dont you quit being a dumb ass and appreciate this truck? it would kill anthing you own. plus is probably worth more then your house. Im sure you dont even know what a 5.3 is or what an s10 is for that matter you should delete your account because now everyone knows what a worthless piece of shit you are.

[xGODLYxSKiLLeDx666x]

@MrBriggsie go fuck your self

[MrBriggsie]

@xGODLYxSKiLLeDx666x No thanks man i have women fuck me i dont have to have a man to hand relationship anymore but obviously you do.

[gmclark2007]

@xGODLYxSKiLLeDx666x man you sure are a sad guy..go get some and put a smile on your face and stop looking at all the negative in life..and the reason I put 30,000 into a s10 is because it's what I got when I turned 16 and wanted to have the baddest s10 out there. once I graduate college with my engineering degree I will own one of the sickest z06s you've ever seen. just don't have the money to do it yet.

[mrgreen386dls]

that car was espcially fast so gotta give props to the s10

[jlostrander82]

you around south ga by chance?

[gmclark2007]

@jlostrander82 sure am
