Maybe I just forget how slow a stock Honda actually is?

I will give the Vortec chevy motors credit where it is deserved. They have nice power.

i test drove a v6 s10. it was quick. after a while of driving a honda with a CAI you start to think its fast. but its not. trucks are faster than them.

Man Get your head out of the civics and start to think, I'm not a big guy and I can lift the rear end off the ground. When we did that 120km it was with regular tires on a wide open track, I was lucky it didnt go side ways, or start doing donuts. I'll see if I can get out there and get a picture of the road. I dont remember the tourqe spec it was higher than the hp but I would only be guessing.

So you were doing 75MPH. That sounds more believable. Where do you live?

kinda but not really. that is a GMC sonoma i believe. thats what a syclone is based on. the typhoon is based on the GMC SUV of the time.


syclones are AWD too.

syclone was a 4.3L and was the fastest production truck built to date, back in 1991. 13.0 !!!
One of the many reason I hate the corvette..

Syclone smacks the **** outta the corvette, then GM axes the syclones..

Vettes suck ( gotta give props to the Z06, but its still a "mid-life crisis" car ).
