The GMC Syclone Visits Jay Leno's Garage: Video - Motor Authority
If someone ever invents a time machine, we’re inclined to head back to 1991. The Cold War was over, the U. S economy was healthy, real estate still appreciated in value and the quickest car in America was a pickup truck. In 1991, you couldn’t buy anything quicker in a straight line than a modified GMC Sonoma pickup that the company misspelled as the Syclone, since Mercury still owned the actual Cyclone name. It was faster than a Porsche 928, faster than a Corvette and faster than even a Ferrari Testarossa, to 60 miles per hour at least. From a standing start, the Syclone could hit 60 in just under four and a half seconds, thanks to its turbocharged 4. 3-liter V-6 that was rated at 280 horsepower (but actually put out around 330 hp) and sent power to all four wheels.
