Just out of curiosity...

Some info I just found:

An absolutely exceptional and beautiful example of this original southern California rare, coveted and extremely collectable completely stock 1991 GMC Syclone AWD pickup with it's original matching # 4.3L turbocharged V6 engine with only 35K original and babied miles - obviously never abused! No history of any accidents and absolutely no rust whatsoever! Imagine what this 3500 pound truck drive likes - how about better than when Porsche builds a car with an intercooled turbocharger and four wheel drive! This truck must be seen to be believed and driven to be fully appreciated - the engine is as new, unbelievably responsive with excellent oil pressure and no oil leaks and which sounds absolutely magnificent, the 4 speed TH700 R4 (same as found in the Corvette) transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the engine temperature always remains cool. #2,503 of only 2,995 Syclone trucks produced by GM in 1991! If you are unfamiliar with these beasts, go to www.google.com or www.youtube.com and check out "GMC Syclone" and see for yourself how this truck achieved the distinction of being the quickest and fastest truck ever produced - an absolute wonder of engineering that produces 0-60 in under 4.6 seconds and a top speed of over 160MPH and burns up Ferrari's (see Car and Driver magazine - in 1/4 miles test the Syclone beat a Ferrari 348TS and at the Bandimere Speedway near Emich, Colorado the Syclone beat a Ferrari Testarossa with a 385 HP 12 cylinder engine in two 1/4 mile tests hands down!), alos will rip Corvette ZR-1's and Porsche Turbo's with ease!! Weighing only 3500 pounds, the Syclone was the first production truck to receive a 4 wheel anti-lock braking system and featured sport modifications and a lowered beefed up suspension and full time AWD which help keep the Syclone planted on the pavement meaning that these fastest production trucks in the world handle pretty good too! The Syclone has a liquid-cooled intercooler and although unconfirmed the club support sites rate the engine's actual horsepower at around 330HP. Capable of 0-60 in 4.6 seconds (Stock!!) and a quarter mile run in 13.4 seconds at 98 mph. 2,995 models were produced in 1991 and were only available in black.

Wish I had a bigger garage!

Yep, The 350z V6 was designed by Renault.
The 4.3 was a GM 350 small block V8 with 2 of the cylinders cut off. Tuff little v6.

PS: what do you mean a French engine in a 350Z???

[Bieredalsace]

Well I'll be French-fried!!

[kodiak]

lol! It’s still a good engine.

Well I'll be French-fried!!

OK,after all this i'm not impressed by the SRT-8 grand cherokee with his 6.1L & 420 HP any more.

If this syclone is capable of making 0-60 mph in just 4.6 seconds with a 4.3L then JEEP SRT performance team should be fired

GM is probably still sorting out the litigation brought on by the terrible twins....Typhoon and Syclone. They went in a straight line just fine....the excitement started when you turned the wheel...and seemingly nothing happened. The vehicles both were tin-cans with crazy drivelines, and were marketed straight at 16 year-old males (think STI/Evo advertising) The 6000 or so vehicles built resulted in a few hundred deaths and a ton of maiming. Virtually all kids, hence the lawsuits. The GM "Deathtraps" were a story as big and as damning as the Explorer rollover episodes. A childhood friend, Jeff Day, had one for a few months when we were kids. He burried it in some trees on Marianburg rd. one nite. Mangled his little brother pretty good in the process. They were fast pieces of crap, and about as safe as a pair of rocket powered roller skates.

I had a Syclone with 20K miles and as you just stated the problem happened when you turned the wheels, i got in a car accident when i was driving it, luckily it was against the sidewalk, no body damage just the front axle bended and driver side rims broke, i didnt feel the ABS working, the brakes locked and lost control in a curve, at the end with the steering wheel straight the right tire was straight and the left front wheel was turned right.
nobody was hurt and no property was damaged but my syclone, got it fixed and sold it after i bought my VX my dad is still planning on getting another one

Ahh, more dreams of the demented "talkers and never doers... "All ya gotta do is.... Have a freakin' clue! There are so many things to change on the vehicle (besides the ENTIRE electrical system) that like Coach Reed's project, it becomes too overwhelming. Seems those who DO, post their projects AFTER they are done, others just talk about gonna dos... I'm pretty sure Alaska VX would be boasting and posting if he had completed the project....

Dreams are great but you MUST take action to make them happen.

[kodiak]

Amen, talk is cheep.

I remember reading a car and driver article when these first came out that said they would beat a 308gts (Ferrari) in a 1/4 mile drag race.. but don't race farther..

Awesome Vehicle..

8000 would be a decent find

Well I'll be French-fried!!

Shhh! Don't say those words! Our VX transmissions are French!
