Marlboro ZR1 and GMC Syclone!!! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

442typhoondude · 05-08-2004

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??

Any information would be very appreciated guys. Thanks.

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
syclone best quarter run time
list of chevy's including ZR-1 quarter times

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.

to an awesome truck

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.

Believe me, i don't think ZR-1's/LT-5's are the greatest things since sliced bread

, 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

. hope you wake up on the 'other' side of the bed tomorrow

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