CONGRADULATIONS, kyle! By making an attempted bash on daks by replying to a nearly 5-year-old post, you have shown that your brain is just as quick as your truck is! Maybe a new s10 could comp-wait. Oooh! That's right. They don't make the s10 anymore...for being so superior, that's rather curious; Wouldn't you say, kyle?!

Well at least my transmission holds up and your's is crap!! My S10 with a stock V6 would just walk all over and out pull your under rated 5.2 V8! The only reason they replaced the S-10 is because they needed something better and even more cabable like that bad AZZ I5 (here dodge b!tches) 242 Hp (and whats your HP??) and jst as bad 242lftlbs of toruqe. And guess what?? Along comes a V8 right up your Arse!! Yeah! Can you say Vortech 5.3 baby yeah budddy!!!!!!!

Kyle - sorry to hear that you are so far behind the 300 foot pounds of torque or more that most of our Dodge v8s have. My condolences, sorry for your loss...

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

i also think he fails to realize the 318 hasnt been in a dakota since 99
what was the #s for a 99 s-10?
prolly same old same old 185hp
the new dakotas have 300hp or so
and the new colorados are going to be what? 300 as well?

won't matter how much hp/ torque you give the Colorado. it won't touch a Dakota. i've ridden in and driven both of the latest model years and the Colorado isn't much. i don't care if it is faster or can tow more because it will never, ever outlast my Dak. no wonder GM is going under.

I test drove a 4 door colorado, just to see what it was like. I really tried to stay open minded when I did it.

It was smaller, cheaply made, a whimp on power, no manual-at least they didn't have one to drive, I don't even care if it's offered not.

What a POS!

Sorry we hi jacked this R/T speed post.

Well not bad. But lets see if the rear end will hold to the extra power.

If this truck has a anti slip diff. then I'm sold on it.

Hey SuperBee,

HP=300 Toruqe=320

But its a larger V8 5.3 VS 4.7L and the mopar out toruqe's it by almost 10. So if you think about it those ratings should be comming from there GM's smallest V8 option (4800 Vortech).

I'll have to test one out to properly give a my thoughts on it.

Be back latter :)
