If you’ve ever felt the desire to absolutely blow the doors off the fastest hypercars available on the market today with a street legal 1990s Chevy S10 drag truck, then you’re in luck. Larson Race Cars is selling its famous race truck that has earned a reputation in street-legal drag racing competitions.

This was the first vehicle to ever run 5s with license plates, and is currently said to be capable of running 5.70s in the quarter mile and an astonishing 3.90s in the eighth mile. They also claim it is the only street plated car to ever qualify #1 and win an NHRA national event. Yeah, this machine owns.

, the Missouri-based hot rod shop confirmed the full specifications of the race truck, which includes a 620 cubic inch Brodix block and a pair of 98mm (!!!) Precision Turbo air movers.

This truck was built to own the Hot Rod Drag Week competition back in 2014, and it’s been a pretty successful drag truck since then. Every year it gets a little bit faster.

There is a little bit of contention as to what constitutes “street legal” in that there is no way this truck is 50 state legal, but I’ve always been of the opinion that if it has a license plate and can legally drive on American roads, it’s street legal. Sure, you could never get this truck to pass California smog laws, but in Missouri they apparently just don’t give a shit. It’s basically a funny car with license plates, but because the lax laws of that state exist, we get something awesome like the Larson S10.

It doesn’t matter what Lamborgotti Fasterossa newfangled machinery you’ve just spent millions buying, it will get its pants blown off by this American-made machine. No, it certainly won’t corner as well on those balloon walled tires, but in a drag race everything else may as well go home. I mean, this truck will sprint from 0-244 mph in under six seconds. That’s mind bending speed.

If you’re ready to pwn some noobs with a Chevy S10, . It probably won’t be cheap, but it won’t be Italian Hypercar expensive.

For $950, Could This 1974 Mazda RX4 Wagon Be The Barn Find Of The Century?
The seller of today’s Mazda RX4 says it has been in storage since all the way back in 1982. Let’s see if its present condition and price are enough to warrant waking up Rip Van Wankel. Peas in your carrots are okay, right? Just as is peanut butter in your...

For $3,500, Could This Crazy 1979 VW Rabbit Cabriolet Make Everything Okay?
Whether it’s rabbit season or duck season, today’s VW Rabbit is one loony car-toon. Let’s see if the price on this bold mashed-up mid-enginer could make you even carrot all. Ah yes, the good old days; back when Three’s Company asked us all to knock on their door; you could...

It sure seems like Russia has been winning a lot of late. If you want to get on that winning team then maybe today’s Lada VFTS will be the way to go. That is, if its price isn’t a loser. That’s what I’m talking about! Yesterday’s may have been down,...

Lynk & Co Won't Do Model Years, Dealers, Or Maybe Even Sell Cars At All
Lynk & Co’s philosophy is, in many ways, the diametrical opposite of gearheadom: they feel that people who will want their cars won’t care about what’s under the hood, how fast it will go, or even if they’ll actually own the car or not. , so there won’t be, say,...

I’ve always had a love hate relationship with the . Long before I was old enough to start a 911, let alone drive one, I had dreams about racing them, the monster 935 slant nose turbo ones being my favorite. Years later, driving license in hand, I got a chance...

The 2017 Lexus IS 200T Is Way Better Than Just A '3 Series Fighter'
Stop calling a compact luxury sports sedan that isn’t a BMW a “ fighter.” There really are such things as sports sedans that aren’t from Bavaria, and the current is one of them. Here’s why it’s more than just an also-ran, and why its new-for-2017 turbo four-cylinder engine makes it...
