LS6 Tacoma Follow-Up

Remember the 2005 Regular Cab 2wd Tacoma with the Corvette LS6 we mentioned back on March 11th? It’s back from the paint shop.

The completed 05 Tacoma with the Vette motor.

We’ve done a little reckoning – here’s what we’re thinking:

• A stock 2005 Tacoma Reg. Cab 2wd weighs about 3300lbs.
• A brand new 2009 Tundra Reg. Cab 2wd with the 5.7L weighs about 4900lbs.
• The horsepower to weight ratio of an 09′ Tundra Reg. Cab 2-by with the 5.7 is 12.8 to 1.
• The horsepower to weight ratio of this Tacoma is about 7.2 to 1.
• A stock 09′ Tundra Reg Cab with the 5.7 will run a 14 second quarter mile (give or take).

Anyone want to guess how long this Taco needs to go 1/4 mile?

Check out the X-Runner hood and Tundra Racing grill.

Note the quad exhaust and the painted to match bumper.

If we said it needed 12 seconds, we’re probably being too conservative.

This is the definition of a fast little truck.

But anything faster than 12 seconds will put most production sports cars to shame.

Cool truck. Thanks to Tom at Tundra Racing for sending us all this info. If you haven’t done so already, read more about the specs and the upgrades on this V8 Tacoma.
