Anyone Watch Trucks? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Conundrum · 09-27-2009, 12:44 PM

I watched Trucks! on Spike this weekend and they had a 87 SWB on there called Miss Misery. It is a 3000 horsepower AWD (yes, all wheel drive) ORSCA 10.5 racer. It was definitely an interesting truck! And I liked it!
Though this may have been an old episode.

yea i seen it. just think how much torque steer that thing has lol

msgross · 09-27-2009, 03:24 PM

that was a HUUUUGE engine.. I really do mean the trucks engine too...

Chlsnk · 09-27-2009, 03:43 PM

It seems like with 3000 HP it would run faster than a 10.5.

10.5 is the class it runs in, they have to run a 10.5" wide tire.

3r!c84 · 09-27-2009, 04:27 PM

to race competently in outlaw 10.5 class you needa be in the low 7s to high 6s

LiveAnimals · 09-27-2009, 08:01 PM

After they got it dialed in, and hooken, it was a beast on that 1/8th mile track

This truck has had my attention since someone on here posted it up a few weeks ago. And to see it this morning...wow!!

yeah that truck is amazing....but I wanna know the name of that model

Funny, I tried an air dam that low on my truck. It slowed me down! The 4X4 air dam was too low. I could feel the drag on the highway. I noticed the difference as soon as a 4X2 air dam was installed. I wonder if they use it to cover up the AWD underneath?

Chlsnk · 09-28-2009, 09:16 AM

Ha didn't know that lol I figured it was running faster than what I thought.

CHEESE · 09-28-2009, 09:55 AM

That thing was all over the track!! It's noise was great!!

89-91 Suburban/Blazer/Crewcab I believe.

joe231 · 09-28-2009, 11:30 AM

I think to get the one piece lights you have to use newer van lights...I'm not 100% on that though....

Sniper X · 09-28-2009, 11:38 AM

I saw it. Thought the truck looked dangerous and cool. I also thought it didn't seem anywhere near it's potential....if it ever gets totally dialed in, I am sure it will be hard to come close to in it's class. His wife is certainly hot for just some dudes wife!

tvblazer78 · 09-28-2009, 02:00 PM

Very cool looking truck. I would love to see it run all the way down the track wide open.
