I have the reverse problem when driving my Syclone. I get the little Civics with shopping cart wings and buzzy exhausts trying to mess with me. Had a riced Accord screw with me in the rain the other day. I was minding my own business, as I rarely get tempted to street race. Had to abuse him for a second, though. I was actually ashamed of myself for bothering.

I've got a Syclone, GTP, and a 350Z, so I'm like Russ, either a redneck or a ricer. Not sure which

Ahh, the unifying concept, we all have trouble with underpowered ricer grocery-getters!

How many Syclones were made?

There were somewhere around 3,000 of them if I remember correctly. There may have been a handful made in 92, but there were very few 92s built.

I've owned one in the 700s (stolen with 2K miles) and my current truck which is 2874 (I think). This truck only has 18K miles on it, and is a garage queen that makes the occasional Home Depot run (quickly ).

There were many more Typhoons, probably around 10K.

yeah a pulley is $500. low 12's is a far stretch. i'd need like an 8 or 10 # lower pulley for low 12's hehe i'd never do that on a stock block, although some are brave and do. the temp has to be real low too so it'll be effective. the superchargers HATE heat. i always run .3 to .5 slower than i normally should just from the heat.
