I pulled up where everyone else hangs out in my town late on the weekends. as i pulled up a buddy of mine said sorry but i've already lined you up a race... without any emotion i was like against who... he said someone who had a fast r/t... i said sure why not... (when i first got the ty i raped the 5.9 r/t pickup, i left him sitting there and about halfway down the track he pulled over. so i figured i had this kid) he pulls up little later that night, looks over at my truck and smiles, asks what i have... before i could even open my mouth one of my friends shot back with "just a 4.3 why are you scared?" he said no, fired a cap gun at one of his friends, who fired back........... :roll: i was like what the hell? oh well im sure you all know the outcome so ill make it short. we lined up, i boosted to 10lbs, rear end was slipping a little (damp out that night) and we launched (well i sat there for a sec spinning)... he must have had somewhat of a brain, because i think he launched in 4 wheel drive, he must have or else he would have lit his tires up. i pulled a good 4-5 lenghes on him and then shut down... only got up to around 75-80 (short strip).... oh well nothing impressive but its fun to their hopes up and then shoot em down in front of everyone.... not a bad little truck though it sounded pretty good.

Are you still streetracing?

With all the crap you have going on with your license?

Eesh! Big brass balls...

I believe the Durango R/T is All Wheel Drive. Dunno why though? Freakin' 'Magnum' V8 barely makes enough power to burn the rear wheels. :p

Never mind the driving record. You're beating on your Typhoon to the tune of 10 pound launches against Durangos!?! :( :( :( Gah!!! :eek:

Yeah, I don't get all these 10-15 lb launches especially on the street. My sixty foot times are about the same with 5-7 lbs and a hellva alot easier on parts.

If you have nothing better to do than tell us how you are beating your Typhoon to death, then I have nothing better to do than chide you for it. Long memories in these halls. Don't come crying when it breaks...and it will. :wink:

Serious about performance
Damn I can only boost my Sy up to 4-5 # at the absolute most before the rear tires begin slipping and I still managed a 1.68 60' on stock chip with stock size 245 Sears Viper tires. What is the point of these 10# launches? Do you pull better 60's than 1.6?

Mad Mike Pearce,

I never said what he did to his truck was right, I personally agree with you all, it was a stupid chioce to lauch that hard, but i just wanted to point out the fact that it is his truck to break, & fix. Not ours. I also wanted to point out how when one person says its stupid, 30 more people jump in to say, yeah, its stupid. Further more, I do have a trucks like yours, not turbo, & AWD, but a Sportmachine, and much rarer might I add too. When I get a Syclone, I will do with it, what I please. There is nothing you, or anyone else can do to stop me. NOt to say I would ever think of doing something to damage it. One last point I think I have to point out, that is, you can not tell me you never launched your trucks hard. I have rode with people, ones on these boards, that most times launch with 7 lbs, or less, but when I ride with them, they felt impaired to launch from 10+, just to show how close the tires are to almsot leaving the ground. In some cases, they did, but that is besides the point. Do also remember, just because you are 50 years old, & have no one to impress by your trucks, or have no reason to do so, some people like Rob want to impress people with his truck which he has worked so hard to build. So when he does something, maybe irrational, it is his choice, so don't give him shit about it. Before you start talking crap, just read this one more time, & absorb what you are reading, & you will relize what it is that I am trying to say. Also Mike, me making a remark towards your age was not meant to be dis-respectfull, but just to show an example. and please don't take any offence to that, or anything in this post.

One last thing, if I owned a Syclone, or Typhoon, I most defintly would not destory it. If you could see the condition of my GT, you would understand. I mean, do you ever change your oil way before its due? Or maybe change things that don not need replacing, just so you dont have to worry? I don't know, I can't really describe it, but I know some of you know what I'm taking about.

Robb, I hear what your saying and you should take your own advice and shut the hell up. Obviously, since your in HS and work at Taco bell your not the sharpest point in your class are you? Point, I was born in 1960 it makes me 42 not fifty. Can't you figure that out? Being 42 I am alot wiser and obviously smarter. So, Don't sit there and say "Shit on you guys" and in the same breath say don't be offended. As for impressing people with my truck. I own two of them. I take them to car shows (impressing people with the fastest trrucks ever produced) and the track were I beat just about everything on street night where my Syclone runs 11.70's. Think I'm impressing anyone? Who do impress at the track or on the street with your GT? Again, I don't think you have the brains to figure that out. As for Rob, that young little asshole comes to the board with ALL his truck and legal problems but we're suppose to sit here and say it 's oK for him to treat his truck the way he wants that he works so hard on. Blah !Blah ! Blah ! WELL, I have one thing to say. STOP FUCKING COMPLAINING!!! If he worked so hard building it he wouldn't be so fast to destroy it. If he or you don't want our opinion and advise than keep your mouth shut and stop whining.
Yeah, Ive launch my truck hard but you know what? I LEARNED! Can you or your little asshole friends do that? In conclusion, Go back to school, get an education, a real job and hopefully someday you'll wake up to the fact that people like me are trying to preserve Syclone/Typhoon history not destroy it.
OH ROBB! Don't take offense <---correct spelling) to any of this. Remember it's MY right.
