at least i think it was a mazda,,,, it definately was a frontier though,,, 4x4 supercharged extended cab sorta deal... i was real impressed when i raced him off the light,, same color (silver just like me sure an L is faster, but i'll tell you the truth, i miss my off road 4x4 i would never sacrafice the spead i have for one, but maybe someday i'll have to go buy a fast 4x4 too. feels good to know you can drive over parking blocks and stuff and not worry about the truck

 

The superchargers in those trucks are pathetic. A paltery 30 HP gain over the stock 3.3 L engine.

 

Its made by Nisson

 

I guess i just miss my old 4x4 then still seemed pretty fast though for how heavy its got to be.

oh yeah,, thanks prince vega, i wasn't so sure who made it, it just had frontier all over the tailgate.

CanadianDriver: "Despite the supercharger, off-line acceleration is not that great. The Automotive Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC), in testing for 2001 Truck of the Year honours, recorded a 0-100 km/h time of 9.7 seconds, a full 1.2 seconds slower than the Mazda B4000 that was also tested. But the effect of the supercharger is more noticeable at full gait - the Frontier SC excelled at passing acceleration - 7.2 seconds from 80 to 120 km/h - faster than any truck tested this year."

They have conveniently not tested an L...

 

They are sorry excuse for a supercharged truck. Actually I'd say it's sorry for a Nissan, they have had some great cars and motors. And now they have throw a S/C on a v6 just to make as much power as Ford and Chevy v6's, whats wrong with them?

 

The VQ (3.5 or 3.0) won't fit, and the 3.3 L in the frontier is old (compared to other import engines), and the rest of the drivetrain will not handle more power and stay Nissan Level Reliable. Next body style expect class leading HP, from VQ base engines.

 

heehee they sure are cute little trucks

 

Just an fyi. Prior to my L, I had a 2000 Toyota 4x4 Tacoma and I put the TRD Supercharger, exhaust system, and K-N FIPK. It was a very nice running 4x4. I was about to put the TRD headers on when I got hooked on the L, and that was that. But it was a nice truck. I figure I was running about 280 hp (not rear wheel).

 

I saw one of those on the road the other day. What were they thinking with the big goofy headlights? I wouldn't own one even if it had 500 HP under it's hood.
