I have always liked these trucks. Clean, simple, and straight line quick. I was thinking about looking into picking up a low milage truck to play around with. They are so inexpensive for what you get.

I know its not even in the same league as the TT, but I wouldn't be giving that up, just adding another vehicle.

Any thoughts?

 

got one in the garage right now(syclone)! Just finished the exterior resto and building another motor for it to go in this spring...love that thing!

 

Do you have any tips or sites that I can get more info or possibly view enthusiasts selling?

My good friend has a syclone, cant beat the bang for the buck in my opinion. I believe jay leno has or had one at one point...

 

Wawa, PA - ha, you must live near where I'm from (I grew up in Washingtons Crossing and New Hope).

The Cyclone/Typhoons are popular with the GN crowd in Philly. Go down to Red Lion road in NE Philly (nr Woodhaven Road) on a Sunday night and you're likely to see a few rolling down Roosevelt Blvd.

As far as trucks go, that's the one I'd have.

 

S-351 had a 10 second typhoon.
I am sure he will chime in. It hauled ****.

Why not a Ford Lightning?

 

I owned a black Typhoon it was fun and a bit more room than the Syclone.

 

Jimmer, I am about 45 min from the New Hope area. Great town!

Shark, the only reason I wouldn't want a Lightning is because I already have a full size pick up as a daily driver. I wanted something smaller and the fact that they are fairly limited is a plus as well.

After reading more and more, I am leaning towards a Typhoon, strictly due to the fact it has a little more room.

But if I found the right truck with low miles and totally stock, I would consider either.

Thanks so much for all your feedback.

 

Actually it was a Syclone..And I have had about 9 or 10 of these...Not one had over 10,000 miles. Yes they are fun and yes they are fast, but only to a certain point...Once they get much faster then 11.6s or so they start to break a lot and require some money to upgrade the larger parts..ie engine, tranny, rear end. Not to mention...They suck to work on.

syty.net is a great place to find one.

 

I don't have either but I have a Trailblazer SS as a daily driver and this truck is a blast. The LS2 engine is great and like you said for the price these trucks are great.

 

I have a 92 38,000 mileTyphoon! Im the original owner i love my truck!! I believe its the fastest stock block AWD street typhoon in the country. I run a fully built stock block,72mm turbo, ATA front mount and a Stand alone EFi system. Runs 10s.
