Marlboro ZR1 and GMC Syclone!!!

[442typhoondude]

Just wondering if any of you ZR1 fanatics would happen to know of this car. It was given away through a Marlboro game. Anyone know any info about these wheels?

Just for the fun of it, here is the Marlboro Syclone they gave away shortly after that. The paint schemes were very similar. Can you guess which one is quicker?? ;)

HMMM, that's a tough one ;)

You closed minded ZR-1 owners cannot fathom that something (especially a truck) could possibly be faster than your mid-life crisis mobile?
Yes, the 1990 ZR-1 pictured is faster, but only by .26 seconds in the quarter mile. The Syclone was actually faster in a quarter mile than all production ZR-1 corvettes except the 1990 ZR-1 in tests done by auto mags. Even if these numbers are not a perfect representation, you guys still need to broaden your horizons once in a while and realize that there are other things that can go fast besides a corvette.
1990 ZR-1 quarter time: 12.8
1992 ZR-1 quarter time: 13.9
1993 ZR-1 quarter time: 13.6
1994 ZR-1 quarter time: 13.1
1995 ZR-1 quarter time: 13.1
1991 GMC Syclone quarter time: 13.06

Easy Tex.

LOVE the Syclone and all that it can do!

Because this is a ZR-1 forum, yes we do brag about our beasts..... Just like you guys do on the Syclone forum.


:cheers: to an awesome truck :thumbsup:

I don't even own a syclone, I was looking up some rare cars including the marlboro syclone for a friend and came across this forum. I just thought it was funny how the OP said 'Can you guess which one is quicker??' and Z factor said 'HMMM, that's a tough one' I was blown away how anyone could be that closed minded and just assume that their 'king of the car world' ZR-1 is faster than anything that is not a sports car. Sorry for being as abrasive as I was. I actually do like the ZR-1's. They were nice cars, and the new ones are even more badass. Brag all you want, its your right. Just tell these guys to find out the facts before they 'brag' about their car being quicker than a car that is actually quicker than theirs ;)

:wave:Theres always a bigger fish. Welcome to the forum we are proud of our cars here but we appreciate all fast vehicles. We try to keep in perspective that the "king" was the car in 1989 a true worldclass car faster than the lambo, ferrari and a few others at the time. Technolgy moves one just like the new ZR1. If you looking to pick a fight lol may I send you a link to the *************.com?

Welcome aboard and the truck is a nice truck as well. As this post is truck specific I have moved this over to off topic. :hello:

[RICKYRJ1]

Thanks for taking the time to check out our forum. If you stay awhile you will see there are a great bunch of guys including Z-Factor lol.

Believe me, i don't think ZR-1's/LT-5's are the greatest things since sliced bread:cool:, as you indicate. i build more power than they have everyday of the week. that's not the reason i own the cars i do. i've ported lots of heads for Syclone/Typhoon people. shortly there after they more often than not take the transmissions right out of them. they can make some jam. V-6 or not, it's still comes down to boost, they have it Zee's don't:dontknow:. hope you wake up on the 'other' side of the bed tomorrow:icon_scra

Can you really call it a pickup when it can't haul anything.

Quote from the linked Syclone article:
"Syclone is the quickest American production vehicle, short of a ZR1 Corvette, and those ZAls had better be in top shape before they square off with a Syclone."

The facts as I see them: A stock Syclone on average is a mid 13 second truck, a stock ZR-1 on average is a low 13 second car. Close enough to be a drivers race but generally the Syclone is going to come up short.

Lets see here... pulling up a four year old thread, creating an obnoxious username, insulting the websites members and using a smattering of magazine ZR-1 times against a single best ever Syclone run in a lame attempt to prove superiority... Yep you need to get a life!

P.S. I need to get a life as well for bothering with this silliness.

Now fast forward to the now..........there are handful of clones in the 8's and prolly about 20-25 guys running low nines in these. The aftermarket for syclones is of the chart these days since the awd/turbo rides are gaining numbers on the streets..............gotta love aftermarket go fast goodies!:cheers:

What I say is first one to 150mph wins. ;)
