ShoMeSomeFun Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Not sure why but I love ugly trucks from that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 They are fun to drive even stock as the come from the factory. You constantly have people confusing it with just a body kit on an S10 or Sonoma which is rather annoying. Searching through Youtube you can find all sorts of crazy builds for these things, every one that gets hacked up and turned into a race beast means one less valuable super rare car I AM glad to see he stuck with the stock v6, from the quick look at the engine bay though that looks about the only thing he didn't replace. Makes me wonder how much of that stuff was needed though for a hill climb truck....they have MASSIVE potential just from the factory.

Forrest Gump 9 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 That's classic, blows up during the shoot. I loved my Sy/Ty when I had them, but it always scare me when I run them hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC K9 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Very good friend that taught me a lot about DSM's when I first got into them, older guy and his wife out in blacklick have a red Ty. They bought it new in '93 I think. He wont driver it, only his wife drives it. It probably gets 1000mi/yr on that thing, if that. Spends most of it's time tucked away in a garage. He won't mod it for anything. I tried getting him to put a test pipe on a long long time ago and he said, "nope. staying stock." I have to respect that.

99StockGT Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 It's a constant battle on to mod or not to mod. There's so much potential out of the thing with just a few basic bolt-ons you constantly have the itch. However as Mr. Gump mentioned you are constantly worried about breaking something whenever you trash on it. Unfortunately/Fortunately a vast majority of the trucks have been heavily modified over the years, stripped down into drag trucks, or have 100k+ miles on them. So every year there are fewer and fewer of them. Saw one last year while out doing a lap that all the body cladding was beaten up, doors dented, came flying by with exhaust screaming... *pours one for those we have lost* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Speed S4 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I'm a huge sy/ty fan. That truck is sweet. I was very close to buying a 93 typhoon but I didn't want an automatic . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99StockGT Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 First time I ever got in it I was pretty disappointed to see it was an auto but trust me there's not much you are missing. Definitely not a slush box even stock it shifts pretty hard and fast. And of course there's always shift kits and such to make it even more so. Two foot break boosting while driving is kinda nifty also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger1647545502 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 There was a guy down the street from me who had a GMC Sonoma GT...it was basically a Syclone, but N/A and RWD. The odd thing was that the GT was actually RARER than the Syclone....which has to be a first for poser cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
