I had a ‘92 typhoon for about a year. They are a lot of fun when completely stock, as well as heavily modded. Mine ran 13.8s with no mods. Really important to launch properly. It would run 14.3 if you launched at idle. The Syclone is lighter, so it is faster. Pretty much nothing faster off the line. I think it did 1.60s-1.70s 60’ time. I sold mine because the paint was all starting to peel.

They have rust isuues, as well as paint delaminating issues. The body cladding is getting very hard & expensive to get. The motor is a time bomb a tickin’. Wheels are very weak at the rim, so most are bent. These trucks are basically a heavily modded S10, so they have other issues (wiring, poor suspension, noises, squeaks & rattles, no room under the hood, etc).

I knew a guy with a Syclone running 11.90s, but it was always broke. He sold it while it still ran.

This being said, I still think they are sweet trucks. If I had extra $$ & a place to keep it, I would get another one. Sy or Ty.
