THE FINISHING TOUCH
There is a small one-cylinder, two-stroke 'Pocket-Rocket' engine under the hood.
Just imagine everyone's surprise when you pull into the local cruising hangout and pop your hood,
exposing this little engine sitting all alone in the engine compartment...
without letting anyone know that there's a 515-hp LS3 under the tonneau cover. There's even a small compartment for a Go Pro camera to capture all the WTF's!

The S-10 appeared in the RideTech booth at three Syracuse Nationals events because we incorporated:
