Looks very good. I'm impressed with how well the exterior and interior look for an almost 10yr old car.

Good job!

I couldn't disagree more with the typhoon styling naysayers, with some 19's and the right color I'd take that over 95% of the cars on the road just for it's styling alone. :rolleyes:

typhoon-

i would so love to have a typhoon or syclone. my buddy has the 1990 454SS and i am so jealous of his ride. he has all Edelebrock shtuff done to it and that thing will hang with me till about 50 MPH then i walk away and walk away hard. as you say aerodynamics do not help you guys out. block on wheels but man what a beautiful block it is. smile dude your ty rules.

Those trucks are bad ass cool One thing though that I noticed in a previous sig, it runs 13.8 stock, how is that possible when the Syclones run 14.6@96 mph stock? I read about the one that Duttwieler had and thats what it ran right off the showroom and then he took it into the 10's eek Not trying to start a flame or anything, just trying to figure it all out. Now all that being said, its too bad that GM didn't take the AWD, turbo and suspension to the next level shocked I've had some experience with turbocharged vehicles, heres my 120,000 mile, original engine/trans/rear end, modded 1987 GN....damn I miss 22 psi of boost :p Oh by the way I made 50 passes with the car in the 5 years I owned it and my best was 12.68 @ 109mph w/ 1.90 60 ft times, I knew I should have gotten real slicks instead of those BFG drag radials :rolleyes:

Speaking of boxy and ugly.. I saw a black first gen Lightning at the used car dealer next to my barber shop on Monday. Those F-150's weren't exactly beauty on wheels, but they haul ass. Good thing I'm broke, or I woulda been awfully tempted to trade my car in.

Actually the numbers listed straight from PAS in 1991 were as follows:
Syclone
0-60: 4.6 seconds
HP: 280
1/4: 13.5@98

I am not trying to do anything, but if you check it out, the Sy is a mid to low 13 second truck off the assembly line. Here is some info.

and THANK YOU ALL for the comments...makes me feel like waxing her while my frijoles were receding into my body was worth it today :p
