well my friend has one stock and i raced him but i lost i dont knoe i have cold air and exhaust. just wondering
thanks

 

they can be pretty fast.. i kno an extended cab 5.3 with the shortbed fully loaded will do 0-60 in 8.2
if he had a lil more weight in the bed and a regular cab he could break into the high 7s the biggest prob for those trucks is hooking up when there is no weight in the bed

how bout a Lingenfelter Silverado 4x4 Extd cab doing 0-60 in 4.7?

GM makes kick *** quick *** trucks

 

Yeah I tried to race one once, he had a head start, and I tried to pass him, but he just floored it and I could hear the V8 rev like crazy, bottom line is, I couldn't really get ahead of him, it was pretty even (I'm a 5 spd). Maybe I can't shift too well, it was like my second real race...

 

I raced one from about 60 - 90mph. It was all over by about 70 but I kept going...

There was a Silverado that looked stock running 12.7 at the track last time I was there...

 

well once they hook up they are DAMN fast they have 285hp a V8 and plenty of Torque at all rpms, the LS1 based truck engines are truly a sweet set of engines. a 5800 pound Escalade does 0-60 in 7.4 and a 1/4sth at 15.5@88.2
alll day long haha

 

Something about a pickup just says white trash

 

hmmm I have to disagree with that

If someone dropped a '01 Chevy Silverado dropped and on 20"s at my door, I would take it, I'm not white but i'd be

a lifted pickup for the most part is white trash, a ford pickup is white trash a Dodge Ram can be both, Chevy GMCs are just slick and pimped
take a look at Truckin magazine, a pickup is anything but white trash

 

A lifted truck would be more of a redneck thing and me saying that isn't tring to give rednecks a bad name b/c of what they might drive. Hell I have a lifted Explorer with Mickey Thompsons and I am anything but white trash or redneck.

I think you have the wrong idea about what "White Trash" is!

 

I agree. I mean poeple could say the same thing about lowered sedans or anythnig else. Gotta be carefull how you throw it around.

sorry... i know i was being cruel... but remember i b one of dem city folk

 

Uh-oh! My dad just bought a '99 Silverado 1500 5.3 V8...better not race him!

I have an '00 Silverado A4 and a '95 Maxima SE 5-speed.
The silverado feels MUCH more power full when just cruising around at low (1k-2k) rpm. It has a whole lot of torque- and it's almost all readily available right off of idle.
If for some reason- a maxima and silverado were forced to race, but have a rev limiter set at 2-2.5k rpms- the silverado would romp on the maxima.

However, at WOT running to redline- it's not even a contest. The maxima would toast the silverado hands down. I have CAI, flowmaster cat-back, a jet performance chip, and a jet transmission shift modifier on my silverado. My maxima is stock except for a FSTB. I have my friend drive my truck and I drove my maxima- an I probably had 8-9 car lengths on the truck by 90mph!

My truck is a standard cab, 2WD... I've raced several silverados that were extended cab- and beat them up by 3-4 car lengths @ 100mph, and the 4WD silverados, it's not even funny- they get beat down HARD. So if you are going against a 4WD extended cab silverado, your going to embarras them badly, I promise you that!

 

I didn't know Silverados were that fast. And by the way, people have to be more careful about using "white trash". I'm sure the guys in those pickups look at us and say "asian rice" (Well, atleast I'm asian so it applies to me). And both the fields of trucking and sport compact are affiliated with all races, from asian to african, to spanish, to american. Let's not be too critical...

Ok, maybe I don't have to worry. My dad's is a 4WD Extended Cab. I drove it today...It's pretty nice. Like Threxx said, they have awesome low-end power.

I just got my 1500 2 wheel drive short bed single cab V8 with 5-speed on monday. With 270 HP I knew It was going to be quick but I was suprised when I got it. The Thing hauls. If anyone in the CT area wants to try me at the pike sometime I'll throw down. I'm pretty confident in my 0-60 times against a fourth gen with a stick. I've driven both and would have to say my truck will pull to sixty. On problem though: the rev limiter on the silverado kicks in at 6500. So the truck does 60 in second and then the limiter kicks unless you clutch imidiatly. Where as the maxima will pull to around 70 in 2nd. So I'll pull a 4th gen untill I have to shift to third and then I'll be lokking at it's tail lights.

 

If Motor Trend's best time in a Silverado 1500 was 8.2 seconds, there is no way a well-maintained and well-driven Maxima would lose to it. Plus, I've never seen a pickup truck driver go fast anyway.

 

Well i have a 96 z71 and it has the 350 vortec and it gets up pretty good. I think against a stock Max i would get it to 50 or 60 but after that its over. The truck is geared for hella torque so the low end power is there. The new ones are amazingly fast tho, it will surprise ya .....Maybe

 

Yeah, but 8.2 seconds is 8.2 seconds. That'll always be more than 6.6 seconds. My dad thinks his Durango is fast, probably just because it makes a lot of noise, but it's still 3 seconds slower than my car. I'm gonna have to race him one day to make him understand.

 

yeah you have a point, maybe just all the low end torque you feel would make you think it would be faster when its not.So nevermind that if its 8.2 seconds- BTW, the durangos are pretty quick for a S.U.V rght?

 

Go to www.fullsizechevy.com and you'll see that there are many guys running in the 14s with boltons in their 99+ 5.3 Vortec standard cab shortbed 2WD GMC/Chevys. Bonestock, with the 5.3 (270-285hp depending on year) is good for low 15s@90-91mph. These trucks are fast and I've driven many of them for work. The Chevys are worlds quicker than the Dodges and Fords I've driven. I've watched a 4WD shortbed standard cab 00' GMC go 15.1@89mph with just an intake and exhaust. That's pretty damn impressive for a 4500lb 4wd truck. There's a 2wd 01' standard cab with a Whipple Charger that's running low 13s. I'm seriously considering a 00-01' Chevy/GMC shortbed standard cab 5.3 for my next ride.

I used to drive a 95' Z71 silverado, ext cab. That thing was slow as hell. It had the big engine and everything. I measured the 0-60 once, and it took 15 seconds, on a downhill slope. And no, it was not in 4wd or anything like that. I did have 3 other peope in it at the time, but it still should not have been that slow. It had 125k miles, I think one or more of the cylinders may not have been firing.

 

Hehe, you havn't seen me driving to work in my 89 1500 Silverado. I like to drive fast no matter what I'm in.

 

That post by MILANO was by me

 

That post by MILANO was by me. I didn't realize he was logged on my computer and I wasn't so When I posted It came out in his name. But anyways. I'm not talking about 4WDs and extended cabs and long beds. I'm talking about About a 6 foot bed rear Wheel dive V8 with a manual transmission. Year 2002. not a 95 or any other year. Witout a doubt the truck is running a 6.9-7.1 second 0-60 time.

 

well i raced my friend 3 times everytime off the line and he beat me i was kinda close but he still won. and i drove the truck like 3 days ago and dam it is fast. The gas pedal is so touchy. i think off the line everytime the truck will win but while driving around 30 mb the maxima will win.
thanks

 

there is a HUGE difference between 95 and 96 and up. 95 didnt have the vortec, the vortec started on the 96 model and is approx 65horses added. Big difference..

 

I raced an older one, maybe 93? We were waiting at a red light. He floored it on the orange. I easily passed him and had him by four or five car lenghts by 80
