Here is a little back ground on this truck.. It started life off as the standard GMC Syclone and was exported when it was new by GM.

Over the years, Robert has been a leader in innovation and low ET timeslips, the truck features a fully built motor and a 90+mm turbo, stock BW4472 transfer case and stock front axle.

Theres been alot of **** talking lately by the 'haters' in the crowd, always pointing the finger saying its NOT an NHRA track, the truck isnt NHRA Legal, blah blah blah... So Robert stepped up and said, "Put up or shut up.. I am shipping my truck to the US for the Annual SyTy Nationals.. "(keep in mind this is an expense IN EXCESS of $6000 US DOLLARS) to Robert. Some more **** talking ensued as well as some underhanded deeds tried in the 11th hour to delay Robert running his truck, all have been met and surpassed. This coming weekend, Robert is going to make an attempt to back up his World Record here in the USA on an NHRA TRACK so all the crybabies can stick it in their crack pipe and smoke it..

For the record, the truck has already run 2x runs of 9.11 back to back on Tuesday of this week at Bowling Green on a very slippery track.. (AWD SKATING through the 60' mark)..

Anyhow, here's the video of the Dyno Runs: (this were earlier this week)

Its difficult to understand what Robert is saying since alot of its in Swedish, but I can tell you, it was dyno'd here in the US on Wednesday night..



Keep in mind, this was a 2wd Dyno, but the truck runs AWD.. Can you imagine putting 750-ish to all 4 wheels ?? Its a handful on the launch, even with the front wheels on the ground they are spinning and steering input is futile.. And remember, this is from a V6 motor.. NOT an LS1 or SBC !!!

Here's Robert's webpage if you are interested: http://syclone.org/

There will be video posted later of the drag runs over at: www.syty.net

If you are bored and live near Kansas City you can watch it in person this weekend at KCIR, details here: http://www.sytynationals.com

I wont be able to make it this weekend, but I wish Robert the best of luck, I hope he hits his goal of another 8 second timeslip to shut up all the haters and crybabies.

 

I love that truck. It's awsome.

 

1st run tonight was 9.06 @ Unknown MPH.. I am not there so I am getting details but apparently the truck passed Tech.

More updates as I get them.. I know there will be video, I just dont know WHO and WHEN it will be posted..

 

i always loved the typhoon and syclone, just dont feel like dropping like 15 grand for a 15 year old truck

 

I had one of those when I was younger, I really miss that truck. I wish him all the best. Was the Syclone dynoed in Louisville, KY? It looked so similiar to one I recently went to.

 

I had one as well. Those trucks '60 like no other.
