Where did you get that 2700 lb. curb weight from?
I remember weighing my '86 S10 V-6 Automatic (with a fiberglass cap) and it came out to something line 3400 lbs.

Older S10s aren't that light, and the 94s and up are even heavier.

I remember a Dakota ad from the early 90s (around 94) where they compared the performance of the Dak V-6 against the S10's V6, and Dodge claimed the Gen II was almost 1/2 a second faster in the quarter. Experience at the track bears this out.

Allowing for the 300-400 lb weight difference of the Gen III vs the Gen IIs, it should be a close race, at best (assuming 1/10 of a sec disadvantage for every 100 lbs of weight added).

Also, Chevy's 4.3 is the most rough running, unbalanced V-6 on the market. That's why the had to put balance shafts in them!

Well, that being the case, someone is wrong. Go to this URL:

BTW, the weight listed is for an I-4 with manual trans and standard equipment.

'nuff said

Dude....the current S10 body style has been in production since the '94 model year.

The orginal style S10 was produced from '82 thru '93.
