Anyone heard of the Syclone? It is a bad azz truck.

Robb · 07-22-2006, 07:50 PM

Great Thread!!!!

mudplower · 07-22-2006, 07:55 PM

in a sense. it is a 1500, looks like an s-10 though. a local guy has one that has done 150

mudplower · 07-22-2006, 08:01 PM

not sure if it was on the 1/4 mi. up here its mostly county and state high ways and gravel (Yeehawwww)

sicj · 07-22-2006, 08:04 PM

I know a guy with one. Badass little truck, 4wd w/ 8psi of boost 6cyl = car killer.

Smokes hondas and yotas all day, mustangs and camaros for lunch and gets the launch and 2nd gear on WRX's.

He's got a misfiring problem he can't figure out, but no one knows what that little truck is capable of.

too late I think...

The GMC syclone and typhoon a bad arse when it comes to speed capability due to their turbocharged V6 motors. Powerful and great potential but cant haul heavy loads. I think only about 500 max.

But the Grand Nationals and GNXs. Now those are some cars.

Trike Kid · 07-22-2006, 10:39 PM

They aren't 1500's, they're modded to piss S10/S10 Blazer plaform. They're a sweet machine, pretty rare anymore.

Highmark · 07-22-2006, 10:57 PM

Yes they're baddass and yes they're fast.

I've seen one eat a STI alive, regergitate it, then beat it over the head with it's own corpse in the 1/8th mile. They also make fun auto X rides if you can get the rear to hook up

Anybody see that AMS tunning shop in Chicago just broke another record... An Evo maxxed out their Dyno software at 1000 wheel horsepower and was still climbing steadily..
Street car... For those who dont know, an EVO is a just a 4 door 4 banger like the WRX..I know these trucks are quick, but I wouldnt dare say fast. Defenitely nice looking though.

stock cyclone (awd) and a slightly modded wrx sedan which is about 300-400 lbs lighter then the cyclone of course it would out launch it.....both of them stock it would all come down to the driver.

K_B · 07-23-2006, 03:55 AM

WRX, Eclipse, Evo, syclone, blah, blah, blah... nothing beats my '99 TJ:

0-60 in 3 sec and 200mph top speed

(if I drove it off a cliff... did I mention the brakes??? 60-0 in the blink of an eye...)

S-Dog · 07-23-2006, 06:19 AM

the 1991 Syclone does 0-60 in 5.3 seconds and the quarter in 14.1 seconds

2006 STi does 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and the quarter in 13.5 seconds

all with 15 years of technology in between.....

not too bad for a "truck"

Trike Kid · 07-23-2006, 06:26 AM

Just imagine the kind of numbers a hotted up Syclone/Typhoon would spit out though. I have to say, a Syclone/Typhoon or a Grand National would be some of the select few GM vehicles I'd own. Saw a sweet street/strip GN the other day, thing was a set of full slicks away from being a track car.

FrankyRizzo · 07-23-2006, 07:43 AM

I am praying for a stray bullet.

This is painful. You guys Gator fans?

NorCal 2500HD · 07-23-2006, 01:14 PM

its comparing apples to oranges...... a 15 year old awd 6 cylinder pickup to a new awd turbo car.....

Cyclones/typhoons are now deep in the 9's.
