I am a FoMoCo guy 99% I would say 100% but I love the Syclone's and Typhon's. They are basicly the only non FoMoCo I would buy and drive! That is awesome!

 

[ipozestu]

Yup that's damn fast. The other guy even red lighted and the Bow tie blew it away. Wow

 

[Magicfan25]

damn thats movin! he made the camaro look like a Honda. Gotta love that AWD launch!

 

[williecume]

Agreed. Which is why when it comes time to get rid of the unlimited after out of college and getting a job it's in my catagory of vehicles to look at. My three general topics are the vehicle must have a V-8 or forced induction, 4x4 and new w/ warrenty or exotic. Hopefully I can get picked up by a dept after graduating and I can get a new vehicle, that'll get me around quicker and safer, as the limited isn't the quickest or sportiest!

yep, sure are. the Cyclone was an AWD S10 that had a turbo 4.3 liter V6. ran a mid 13 1/4 mile stock. the Typhoon was the S10 blazer counterpart, and ran low 14's stock. in its day, the Cyclone had one of the fastest 0-60 times of any production vehicle.

I knew all that, I think I just forgot. I thought they were 2wd, but I do remember them saying it could out corner a testerossa (shouldnt be too hard to do) back in the 80's when they came out so I knew they were AWD back then...

Thanks for the info....I want I want, would love to drop the stock turbo setup on my Mercruiser 4.3L.... but I think nitrous will be easier.......

No reason ya can't have both

 

[james t]

boost loves nitrous, and vise-versa. CompCams has a nice little blower/nitrous cam for the 4.3 that would be killer for yanking someone's @ss up out of the water. and while you're at it, get some Vortech heads and have them ported.
