Your blazer was truck of the year and that has said a lot even without words. You were and are still an inspiration man. You gave people on here a lot of ideas.
But I have to disagree with you on one thing. The blazer nor any other suv was meant to go fast. It has power yes to pull stuff or to go somewhere. But that is all it needs. If you want more power or to go faster, go get a sports car. Trucks were meant for torque anyway. And since the blazer's 4.3 is essentially a 350, that should tell you it wasn't meant for speed. The 350 is slow yes, but like what you saw on topgear america, it is bulletproof. By saying the 4.3 has no *****, you are also knocking the 350 that it is based off of. I think both engines are strong and are meant for durability. They have flaws like okay gas mileage and a bit slow but they will hold up. Just had to get my .02 out lol.
