My 16 yr old stock truck that gives C6 Z06's fits...
At least stoplight to stoplight... :D
It's 100% stock right now and I'm debating whether or not to upgrade. It's under 30k miles and in very good condition. It was neck & neck with a C6 Z06 on the street from a stoplight up to about 80mph. He started to pull away and then we ran out of room. I also had to brake much earlier than him because of my 1991 Chevy S10 brake pads and rotors. :p It is the 1st production truck to have an ABS system though. :cool: http://www.streetneeds.com/uploads/t...40(Medium).JPG http://www.streetneeds.com/uploads/t...38(Medium).JPG |
Very cool. I remember wanting a Typhoon so badly when they first came out.
|
The turbo syclones are sooooo sick, I remember driving my GF dad's syclone and being amazed at the raw power and traction.
|
What does the Syclone do in the 1/4 stock?
|
The turbo's are about a 13 flat and the non-turbo about a 14 flat.
|
The best part are the 1.6-1.7 sec 60' times on stock street tires. The other guy is always playing catch up. :D

The Syclones typically do 0-60mph in 4.3 sec and 13.1-13.3 @ 98mph in the 1/4 mile in stock form. The 'famous' 13 flat stock Syclone was actually run without it's exhaust connected. Typhoon's (the SUV version) are about 400lbs heavier I think and they run about a 1/2 second slower. For about $900 you can shave a full second from the 0-60 and qtr mile times with an intake, boost controller, ecu, exhaust and injectors. Yes, all that is under $1000! To go lower than low 12's is where it gets $$$ (relatively speaking of course). To get into the 11's you will need to beef up the tranny and into the 10's will require some engine work. |
Very nice Sy and great job on the Z!!

This isn't me but thought it was funny for all the 996TT owners... :p

Damn those trucks are sweet. Especially with ZR-1 wheels on them! :)
|
Always loved the Syclone. There was one parked in front of my work last week. I hadn't seen one on the road in 10 years!

I call a big BS on the Z06
That said, I absolutely love these trucks...my brother had a syclone back in the day...till he wrecked it :) |

I've only had the Sy about 6 months now and this has been the only memorable race so far. It made me rethink going the upgrade route. If you have more hp than a Syclone, it's not if you're going to beat it but more like "when you're going to catch up to it". :cool: That may not apply to certain AWD or drag radial vehicles though. ;) |
i'm just saying, you are trying to say your 13 second car stuck w/ an 11 second car.
I'm very familiar w/ the syclone and it's abilities, but same goes w/ the new Z06 |

I'm very familiar w/ the syclone and it's abilities, but same goes w/ the new Z06 The funny part is I feel like the guy in the NA car racing a turbo car. You start out ahead and get blown away on the top end. Only my truck is turbo and the other cars are NA, LOL. I used to only want to race from a roll with my previous 501rwhp 300ZXTT. Now I only want to go from a dig! |
