LS6 Tacoma Follow-Up
Jason Lancaster | Apr 17, 2009 | Comments 4
Remember the 2005 Regular Cab 2wd Tacoma with the Corvette LS6 we mentioned back on March 11th? It’s back from the paint shop.
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?
If we said it needed 12 seconds, we’re probably being too conservative.
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.

He will need to fill the bed with sandbags to get any traction.
I wouldn’t mind a hood like that for the Tundra.
I agree with both statements above. Truck is very sharp. Love the Nautical Blue look. Naturally I have that color too.
Yes, yes, and yes. I found a company that’s making a similar hood for the Tundra, but they’ve never responded to my email inquiries.
