uh...are u aware that a regular cab automatic ZQ8 S10 is the same exact truck as a 98 SS except for i believe a leather wrapped steering wheel and SS badges and bowtie??
You can also get them with the G80 LSD and as far as i know all automatics come with the 3.42 ratio with the 4.3 liter
And as far as a regular ZQ8 S10 is a second to a second and a half slower than an SS...unless its the 94-97 which may only be at most 2 tenths faster...
