Who would win?
 

Who do you think would win, my 96 SE, or a mid 90's Ranger with a 4.3 Vortec in it. A friend I work with thinks he can blow me a way, but I say differently. I just don't know, a truck, es. a Ranger. What do you guys think.

You. Bigtime. Put some money on it.

Do you mean a S10 with a 4.3 Vortec, or a Ranger with a 4.0 V6?

I was assuming someone dropped a 4.3 vortec in a ranger, which isn't a bad idea. I've owned 3 of those 4.3's. Either way, it's hands down to the bonneville.

That's what I'm thinking. He's said he's had it up to 120 plus, he could'nt tell cause he had the needle pegged. I thing he's full of crap. He also owns a Escourt which he thinks is bad. He said I would have him in take-off but in the long run he would beat me. I'll have to race him and show him up. I mean it's a Ranger for pete sake.

120 would be pushing it. The gearing probably wouldn't allow it. This is still a truck. The gearing from the S10 or the Ranger would probably top him out under 120. You'd beat him to 100 easily (by about a mile or 9), but your 108 top end could bite you unless he's still factory limited. GM limited their trucks to 100. I know this from experience. If he's running a stock OBD2 PCM with that 4.3 drivetrain, you have him there, too.
