Love it! I have taken my Dakota on the road course and autocross course before and it always wows people left and right, what a blast! People are always dumbfounded by the fact that a pickup can actually handle well... Reality check most pickups have doublewish bone front suspension (better than the ever common MacPherson strut design and actually don't weigh a lot if its a smaller truck. Awesome Blazer man!
Yeah, def. As for the suspension, yeah, dbl wishbone is great and all, but I wouldn't be too quick to count out mac struts as people often do when comparing the two. Need to remember how many time attack evos hold track records...besides, in a track car, a touch of negative camber can fix most of the mac-strut issues. The live rear axle, though, is pretty funny. I'm surprised the rear doesn't get real iffy when there's bumps in the turns - it looks pretty stable!
6.7L, 2200 RPM redline, 8888 horsepower. double wishbone front suspension, solid rear axle with leaf springs. body on frame construction, probably an extra roll cage in the body on the frame. stock stock steering and balls of steel.
an exaggeration. i'm sure it does more than 2200 rpm and less than 8,888 horsepower. but for sure it has double wishbone front suspension (the most advanced suspension in the world short of F1 monoshock suspensions, better than a bmw m3) and a solid rear axle suspended by leaf springs (the simplest form of suspension that i know of, comparable to the suspension of a horse drawn cart.) this juxtaposition, combined with the insane power rating, is simultaneously awe-inspiring and humorous.
Badass Blazer!
This guy has balls! No guard rails anywhere and he is on it almost all the time. So much WOT WIN right there! LOVE IT!

Still a better story than Twilight
@FORDboy357 Amazing sound, isn't it?

Jalopnik brought me here. What tranny are you using? I hear some straight cut gears...
son of a bitch that was awsome
2200 RPM redline??
lol this is probably completely irrelevant but um.... is that the factory radio still in the dash??? haha ACDelco ftw...?
