So... some of you may know, a lot of you may not.
I just found a home for a beautiful 2003 GMC Yukon Denali a little over a week ago and I'm loving it. the best news is, I kept my 1995 Tahoe so now I can REALLY do whatever I want to it; no holds barred.
The Denali is nice, it's powerful, it's smooth, and all that fun stuff.
So here is where the conundrum is... do I still build up my '95 as a drag truck, or do I turn it into a mud beast with tall tires and a lift and all that fun stuff? Right now it is completely off the road and unregistered so the possibilities are limitess. I'm just a little confused as to what I want to do.
On the one hand, now I have the oppurtunity to tear that truck apart and REALLY give it a lot of balls; street legal or not. If I wanted to really race it out, I could gut the whole drivetrain out, or even make it a track-only truck and tow it with the Yukon haha. On the other hand, the Denali is powerful and with a lot LESS money, I could make it really really quick at the track. I figure stock the Denali already has like 3 seconds on my Tahoe, and with a tune, exhaust, and a couple other bolt ons it would be even faster... then if I really wanted to get fancy I could invest in better heads/cam or a s/c. It woudl probably cost less to get the Denali to run 13-12 than the Hoe. In that event, I could just build up the Hoe into a proud truck that rides high with a big block in it or something and a grille guard with a winch and whatever else.
What do you guys think? I'm not sure how much I want to modify the Denali, at least not this early in the game. It's still so new, fresh, and exciting to me I really don't want to do much to it atm but get some exhaust haha.
