Right up to the point the turbo bearings went bad OR the electronics failed. hell GM couldn't even work on these cars unless they sent an Engineer from the factory cause the meatfisted eggheads turning wrenches never could get it right. And if it is out of warranty, Hope you know a Mechanical Scientist ............ THAT'S why they never sold well. Hell Buick did the same thing with the Grand National in the middle 80's that is a living legend to this day. GM tried to put that into a truck AND an SUV, both great smash hits for tech, but no sell in showroom.

@@anonimous2451 These didn't sell that many units due to their price point as most people back then purchased trucks to do the kind of work you need a truck to do and no one wanted to buy a truck that couldn't do what all the other trucks could do at a cheaper price. GM had to ultimately lower the msrp just to sell the stock they had and that wasn't profitable. Had absolutely nothing to do with mechanical or electrical problems.

And of course the other problems evolved after some months of ownership.

There was another problem caused by greedy dealers adding surcharges to the sticker price . I went to my local dealership to look at a new 454SS when they came out in 1990 , they had tacked on an additional $10,000 ( 10 K ) to the MSRP . I told them " good luck with that " , and they sat on it for almost two years before selling it .

Just found this. I'm in love.

This video was a time machine for me, I actually sold the syclone and typhoon out of Hallett Pontiac in Miami now closed. I always took the Typhoon out for lunch and not the Syclone because it was roomier. That Typhoon would whip on 911's and be comfortable at the same time.

Really curious to see a Ford lightning video. Once a legendary truck known be a top race truck now converted to a eletric truck

I truly miss my Syclones, they were the most bang the buck little trucks/vehicle you could get, I drove one cross country a couple of times and it never disappointed. Low maintenance and always ready to jump. Great vehicles, initially they were to cost $45,000 , but when they didn't sell (only 3,000 made) prices dropped and people got lucky to be able to afford a quick little race truck. Great video, thank you for making and posting this , it brings back some great memories! Liked and subbed!

It didn't sell well because the dealers were putting $15K premiums on them because they were limited production vehicles. I know this for a fact because I tried to buy one in 1991 when I was back from the ME with 6 months worth of combat pay in my pocket.

Now that’s a legit cold air Intake! I absolutely love straight 4, v6 and v8 NA motors making big power ! Currently my mustang 2 has a crazy sounding 2.5lima 4 cylinder making 400 NA. Can be pushed up to 450 ish with race fuel and a high 50 degree day! It sounds so badass !! Back in the early 2000s and still today in the Marine world, there is big blocks based on Chevy motors making 750-850 NA HP out of a 510 cu motor.

Bro there huge on tiktok, go check them out there

Growing up my good friends Dad had this vehicle, Cylone, Typhoon, Grand National, 1994 Suburban 454 with a whipple supercharger. Split window corvette, and a 1967 GTO Judge. He loved GM and used their engines in various racing teams.

Damn, the Banks 5.0 N/A stroked 4.3 V6 made 30 more horsepower than the Ford 5.2 voodoo V8!!! That’s crazy! With an N/A pushrod V6 that made 140hp stock, an engine with zero aftermarket support at the time!

I had a 92 and 93 Typhoons. Both were modified with several Kenne Bell parts, but the 92 had a different turbo, injectors and cam. It would make my girlfriend lose control of her bladder on a boosted, braked start. It was wicked. Sold it to a college kid in 97. Kept the 93 until 2000. Sold it to a guy in Colorado Springs. Enjoyed both of them.

Proof that GM can build anything they want when they want to. I'm not big on GM, but I do very much admire their research department and it's accomplishments. Legendary would be putting it lightly.

As a kid I was obsessed with the syclone. It wasn't until I got my license I was able to experience one sorta. 1st generation eclipse and talons were the first turbo cars we tuned then on too vr4 3000gt. As a kid mom had a Shelby Daytona. So I had been rather into turbo configuration of all kinds. My buddy traded a 3000gt vr4. For a typhoon. And when it was running it was legit street machine. When being the key word.

There are a lot of narrators who just phone it in and rely on snippets of stupid clips to flesh out their vid but this guy is next level with great narrating and really good videos. Good work mate respect from the UK

This and the Buick are pure magic.

SO excited for a new series! Would be cool to do one on RUF if it isn’t already planned

Man this is a legit series. The accurate information is greatly appreciated, and respected. Much love from Abbeville/Erath 💯

This is hands down the best car series I’ve ever watched on KZread please keep going man this series jus earned you a subscriber.

Hands down, your best video to date! But, as a SY/TY enthusiast, i'm kinda biased on that opinion, LOL! Keep up the amazing videos brother, your fan base is growing exponentially. (Edited for my fat thumb writing SY/TU instead of SY/TY 😂🙈🙈)

It’s crazy just the regular 4.3 vortec was a pretty stout decently quick motor for the time, I had an opportunity to go for a ride in both the cyclone and the typhoon, very nice interior and insane acceleration, also they sounds pretty dang good for a v6

We had one of these for sale in a showroom here in the UK in the early/mid 90s. I knew exactly what a weapon it was.

I just assumed that people thought "Christ, if you can't even spell the name right there's no way you can build a decent truck".

This and the Typhoon will always be a couple of my all-time favorite not-cars ever made.

Bruh you and the black car guru been going crazy lately and I’m fucking here for it keep at it brother

My S10 was manufactured in Ohio.

I had a 93 Typhoon many years ago. I could keep that truck on the line holding the brakes and building enough boost that the front wheels would actually start spinning before i even let it launch. The race was over in the first 100 feet for almost anything that dared to try. Forest Green with Grey cladding, Concept Neeper Neptune Chrome wheels and four 12s in the back - and was still beating Grand Nationals at will.

That article about the Syclone vs Ferrari in Car & Driver, was one of Patrick Bedard's best.

So glad I found this channel. Even if it’s something I know about the presentation makes it worth a watch. Super solid

That outro was perfect. Such a good video. Keep em coming

not forgotten, I have three Typhoons in my garage right now 👍🏻

Man I love the syclone, wish I could afford one

dude your videos are so well made. this is talent

Lol….I was in my 67 gto on my way back from a club get together. Somewhere in the early 90’s. Sitting at a light and a cyclone pulled up at the light next to me. I’d heard about them and thought I’d see if the hype was true. Yup! That thing took off like someone stepping on a bar of soap! Impressive! That’s the only one I’ve ever seen too. I imagine they’re all tucked away in collectors garages.

On the semi-legal street scene we had a cyclone crushing everyone back 20 years ago here in Sweden.

The Dodge Little Red Express Truck was extremely fast for a mid 1970s truck as it was equipped with the Dodge 360 engine which was extreme overkill for a step-side truck. I do believe the car magazines that tested the Dodge Little Red Express Truck said that the truck ran low 14s stock, which was even faster than the Trans Am that same year.

I still remember when I was young and seeing 2 full lanes of Syclones and Typhoons. Thanks for the videos

ANOTHER great episode! You are definitely on a roll. More please.

Those were the shit when I was younger. Always kept an eye out for a syclone or typhoon.

My best friends has a black Syclone with 8,500 original miles. Previous owner installed a beautifully fitted 150 N.O.S. kit. And,..... it is flawless. They look so wide and fat when its in front of you. All-wheel-drive bliss too. The very first time he let me drive it,....I got pulled over. If your rolling about 45 or 50mph,.. and you fkn mat that S.O.B.??? You better be strapped tight. Its beyond impressive. I've never seen that truck take an L on the street. And that 4.3,....0-60mph is BS. That thing got to 60 and even more impressive,....100mph in a flash. So good.

Funny I was just thinking about these few days ago!! With all the old school pickup craze lately, these size old school pickups are going to make a HUGE comeback very soon!! I’m not surprised if their are people already restoring and building their own 🛻

Saw one back when they came out. It rose up on all fours and took off like a scalded rabbit on a rice burner!

Total badassery these trucks were head turners back in the day. I remember wanting one of these when I grew up... well it's nice to have dreams. I have seen a few (probably knock offs) in some fields here in the south just rotting breaks my heart. I still want one
