i really dont understand why you and vicious are so threatened by this thread. i know several Z owners and they dont act like this. you both should re-read this thread, the original poster was not trying to talk down to Z owners he simply stated an isolated experience. actually, he repeatedly stated how much faster and better Z's are in comparison to his truck. if you are a car lover you should be able to respect a 16 year old truck that can run anywhere near your modern Z's.

Threatened? For the record I don't have a Z.... but the point is he beat the driver, not the car. And for him to continually state how he would smoke me, this and that.
I can run with a 750 sport bike... why would I bother with an S10? seriously.

Now, if the title would have said "My 16 year old truck that gives 911 GT2's fits"....who do you think would have chimed in? ding ding ding...yes, 911 GT2 owners.
I'm not theatened in the least by a 16 year old p/u. I think its just outlandish to compare it to a modern day performance car. Now, If the OP just wanted to showcase his p/u (and well he should...it looks like a nice truck) he would not have said what he said in the title. All that does is solicit the responses that have been posted.
I'm done with this idiocy. I have a guy in a 1932 panel truck that wants to race me from my mailbox to my neighbor's mailbox.

I should change the title of the thread to "16 yr old stock truck owner that is giving Z06 owners fits on the bulletin boards". Seriously, I love the Z06. For the money it can't be beat as an all around performer. Of course, for the money you can get 5 Syclones.

Thanks for your input, come back when you have something valuable to add.
BTW, I designed the half-shafts and driveshaft on your ML350. I also set up the manufacturing processes to produce them.

My final point being:
On the street, stock vs. stock, there is virtually no difference between these two vehicles in acceleration from zero to any posted speed limit (outside of Germany).

Yes, I drive fast on the highways, but I don't drag race from "stoplight to stoplight" which would imply racing on on arterial roads. The former is having fun at a reasonable level of risk, the latter is stupidity.
