Would You Dare Take This 3,000 HP Chevrolet S10 Out On The Streets?
This Chevrolet S10 drag racer is road-legal and capable of running 5.7-second quarter miles..
An insanely quick, 3,000 HP Chevrolet S10 pickup truck is currently up for sale in the United States.
This S10 is unlike any other in the country and is well-known in drag racing circles. In fact, it was the first-ever street-legal car to join the five-second quarter-mile club and remains one of the fastest road-going vehicles on earth.
Built by Larry Larson, this S10 set a personal-best quarter mile time of 5.89-seconds at 244 mph (392 km/h) back in 2015 and the seller says that it is capable of running times in the 5.7-second range.
Obviously, a plethora of modifications went into making it a three-thousand horsepower rocket. The drag racer is fitted with a massive 620 cubic-inch V8 coupled with a pair of Precision Turbo 98 mm turbochargers. The car also includes a bespoke intercooler setup, Rossler TH400 three-speed transmission, Gear Vendors overdrive and driveshafts, Kinetic Engineering struts/shocks and numerous other modifications.
While the car only ever drove on the drag strip with huge drag tires, it will be sold with a second set of wheels and tires that make it a little more suitable to road use. Not that we'd advise it, but if you're brave enough, you might want to give it a try.
Larson's Chevrolet S10 became famous when it starred in Street Outlaws and went through a number of different configurations over the years. At one stage, the twin-turbo setup was ditched in favor of a single turbo measuring an incredible 136 mm.
No asking price has been mentioned on the Facebook post regarding the vehicle's sale, but it certainly won't come cheap.
