It's time again to test out your automotive intellectual fortitude by figuring out what car this is before you click through. Sure, you'll say you got it right in the comments, but only you'll know the truth.
A storm rolled into the bay today, so if you guessed either the GMC Syclone or Typhoon sport trucks you'd be correct. The S-10/Blazer's 4.3-liter V6 was modified with a Mitsubishi-sourced TD06-17C/8cm2 snail and a Garrett water/air intercooler, forged pistons, high-flow exhaust manifolds and a 48mm twin-bore throttle body from the 5.7-liter V8 with which the 4.3-liter shares its architecture. All the go-fast goodies gave a (at the time) competitive 280 HP and 360 lb-ft of torque, good for 5.3 seconds to 60mph and 14.1 seconds at 95 mph through the quarter mile.
