My buddy dan had syclone for a few months it was a sick ride . Then some drunk driver totaled it when he ran a red light. Now he has an S10 extreme

 

The only rarer race SUV I can think of is a Saleen Explorer XP8. The GMC Typhoon are awesome to.

 

here is a super rare factory s10 cameo

 

One of the best looking trucks to roll out of a factory.

 

Yea but the XP8 is a supercharged 5.0 with AWD if your lucky. lol

 

hers the ford Saleen f150. I like the sonoma better.

 

How modified are we talking? What kind of HP?

The Typhoon/Syclones have a turbo 4.3 liter putting out at least 280hp and 360lb-ft and it is also AWD. The Typhoon was as faster than most sports cars of the era, and even some of the sports cars that are 10yrs NEWER. The Syclone was almost a full second faster in both 0-60 and 1/4 mile than the Typhoon.

Typhoon: 0-60: 5.3 seconds, 1/4 miles: 14.1 at 95mph
Syclone: 0-60: 4.6 seconds, 1/4 mile: 13.4 at 98mph

I don't think a modified XJ could keep up with this SUV.

 

With everything done to it(cam, high flow horseshoe intake, header, bored tb, tuned, everything and anything you can think of) but stroking or f/i... It could definently come witin a few mph of the trap speed of the Typhoon through the 1/4

 

As long as it does not have o turn a corner..lol

 

It was the fastest production truck until the SRT10 came out wasn't it?

 

I think so. GM pulled the plug on it bc it was faster than the corvette

 

To be fair though. The vette from that time period was slug slow.

 

A decently modified xj could. Back in 04' my 2door/ 2wd, 5speed xj ran 13.8's at 104 mph on 225 street tires.

BUT, it was a bottle fed xj.

 

? My friend's 4.8 Silverado can get a 101 trap(good for 12.9x run with perfect traction) but only get 14.4-14.7 on 100 shot.

104 mph trap: ~ 125-150 shot = Very very risky

I believe it though... The trap seems awful high indicated that it was a stronger shot...

 

About a year ago, driving through San Francisco, I saw a Syclone that someone was using as a work truck. Paint stains, dents, scratches, the thing looked beat to hell. It even had a lumber rack on it. Now, Im all for USING a truck, but this dude either did not give a single **** cause he had money, or he just didnt know what he had. Makes me sad sometimes
