Description for GMC Other 1991

You are bidding on a 1991 GMC Syclone #0159 of 2995 made with 27 573 original miles. This truck has all the original equipment and is not modified. It has only had 2 owners including myself and is always garage kept. I have all the original owners manual with it. For those of you who don't know exactly what a Syclone is all about:The GMC Syclone is a high-performance version of the GMC Sonoma pickup truck. Produced in 1991 the Syclone spawned the similarly powered 1992-1993 GMC Typhoon SUV. Another vehicle the GMC Sonoma GT offered less performance but was seen as a companion model.

At the time it was introduced the Syclone was the quickest stock pickup truck being produced in the world. Auto magazines compared its acceleration favorably to a variety of sports cars including the Corvette and - in a memorable comparison test in Car and Driver magazine - a Ferrari. Featuring a turbocharged 6-cylinder engine all wheel drive and 4 wheel anti-lock brakes the specifications had more in common with a Porsche than most other pickup trucks.

Both the Syclone and Typhoon trucks featured a Mitsubishi TD06-17C 8 cm² turbocharger and Garrett water/air intercooler attached to a 4.3 LLB4 V6 engine with unique pistons main caps head gaskets intake manifolds fuel system exhaust manifolds and a 48mm twin bore throttle body from the 5.7 L GM Small-Block engine. All Syclones and Typhoons had a GM 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. A Borg Warner all wheel drive transfer case split torque with 35% forward and 65% to the rear wheels.[1] Both trucks featured sport modifications to the standard suspensions. The Syclone was the first production truck to receive a 4-wheel anti-lock braking system. Output was 280 hp (209 kW) and 350 lb·ft (475 N·m). The Syclone when new was capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds and could do a quarter-mile run in 13.6 seconds at 93 mph (150 km/h) according to Car & Driver's comparison test.

In 1991 Syclones were available in black only. 1992 models were to be offered in a wider range of colors before they were canceled. 2995 Syclones were built in 1991 and 3 in 1992.
