Myke Johnson the typhoon was slightly faster than the grand nation stock but they were pretty damn close and I’m sure it came down to the car/conditions/drivers. So yes they were very close stock I’d say, but on the street I’m sure awd would have an advantage.
@@McBeakerson Wow where did you get your source? that would be awesome as Buick (the American counterpart) needed this for a very long time! i wish you had word that Pontiac was coming back.
Juan Jimenez Save up before you have bills to pay and rent. Do ever give up on your dream ride ever. Still see old men driving vetts right?. Some day bud u will be rollin.
What top speed has the typhoon? 348tb is 170mph. I dont believe the typhoon is faster. Also the acceleration is 5.5 0-60 from the 348tb and i am sure it is faster/better accelerating in a rolling start compared to the typhoon. Just a little awd advantage. Note: I love Typhoons
When this was first aired, I was 8 years old. I still remember it. Someone down the block from me had one of these and I thought it looked and sounded so cool. Still do.
lunaazul the supercharged Ultra was pretty fast for what it was (I've had two, a '94 and '95), but this drivetrain would have truly created a hot rod. The Regal would have been even better, though.

My uncle has one of these; he had a Syclone and wanted more space so traded for the Typhoon a year later - last time I saw it, it was in a heated garage on jack stands to keep the tires off the ground. I would think it probably has less than 10k miles on it. He was a Corvette and El Camino guy back in the day, but his daily driver is still a 1993 454 SS.
Freaking amazing numbers in 1992 for any vehicle, let alone an SUV. These trucks could and did slay all the performance cars from across the pond. Still impressive numbers today 2021 with all the advances in tech.
Ok that's unreal... While watching the latest vid on the 93 525 BMW wagon I was gonna post and ask if you had already, or would review the GMC Typhoon and you just did. Haha many thanx.
+Cyota Corolla Did you notice I said "the Z24 model between the years 86-90, and 91-94!" You have the model years correct, but the Z24 model didn't arrive until 85-86 (the citation X-11 was the sports compact then). So you may want to read the comment in its entirety before posting a sarcastic, and critical comment when you failed to read it properly. Have a great day though!
remember as a kid you'd look inside car windows at their dash and be in awe when you saw that it went over 85? haha oh and look closely at the Lethal Weapon films, you'll see GMC Typhoons and brand new Z71's, pretty nice GM vehicles
Lmao, you're confusing the impala SS with the Buick Grand National. The car dubbed Lord Vaders was the GN. And not a precursor, the GN came before both the Impala SS and the Syclone/Typhoon.
I dont say this often about '80s and '90s GM products, but that's an awesome truck. I would love a mint condition one today, but I'm guessing they are still pricey!
CamaroAmx the original vectors were very reliable. Workmanship was too notch, it's only when Weigart lost control of vector in a hostile takeover, to an East Indian company called Avertech(or something like that). They made the different body style, and used a lambo engine. Went to shit from there.
I love this so much. Reminds me of the Trailblazer SS. So much fun driving a small SUV with awd and enough power to beat most cars at a spot light. No one ever expects you blowing past them in a heavy SUV. The weight and awd really hooks on the street. Trailblazer ss came with 395hp but this being turbo 6cyl would be even quiter than a modern ls2 v8 with a modern exhaust. I love werid powerful sleepers. More fun than most muscle cars for laughs.
GMC should consider a new Typhoon or at least a Typhoon performance kit, because some people can't forget this original Typhoon. 4:27-4:30-Michael Bolton's cover of Percy Sledge's classic "When A Man Loves A Woman".
To say the GMC Syclone and Typhoon were quick is such a massive understatement... I'm surprised they came with drum brakes in the rear, though. Oh how times have changed for performance-oriented vehicles...

A unicorn. That early 1980s platform (GMT 330, 1983-1994) needed a new look, and the Typhoon was it. I would have taken this over the 1992 Explorer.

That platform began in 1982 and ran through 2005... The Typhoon is a lot more common than the Syclone.
