typhoon launch

[jipi0001]

impressive

[oohklu]

is there a way to make these trucks fully rwd ??

[skliros]

@oohklu yes, but they will slide all over the road, unless you got some big sticky tires in back.

[IcabodCrane]

@oohklu

why would you want to make it fully RWD? It's an AWD platform and puts power to all four wheels with two 3.20ish Corvette limited slip axles.

RWD would increase top speed but it'd lose a lot of acceleration, AWD's always out accelerate a RWD with the same power stock. That's why Ford Lightnings suck against the Typhoon stock.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@IcabodCrane true. but AWD is a bit of a parasite. in races longer than a quarter mile the awd would slow it down. but launches in this in RWD would suck. hell you wont lose MUCH with awd , but a lil bit

[IcabodCrane]

@yamahonkawazuki

It is slightly parasitic, yes...but in terms of overall driving if you live in an area like I do the AWD comes in VERY handy. Granted the RWD limited slip styles will still do better than open though.

@IcabodCrane

Stock Lightnings are in the mid-high 13's with traction. Stock for stock Lightnings and SyTy's are actually quite close. All three are badass trucks.

@oohklu WHY?

[AbaddonsAnimosity]

@oohklu Remove the front driveshaft. Not hard to do if you know what your doing.

[brapboys503]

@oohklu You can make any RWD vehicle RWD by merely removing the front driveshaft.

[scroungecat]

@brapboys503 do you mean awd or 4wd for the first rwd lol

[JSprayaEntertainment]

sluggish

@JSprayaEntertainment 20 yrs old scrub

[kkage2]

@JSprayaEntertainment 6 sec 0-60 is sluggish for a truck?

[Jaygeta1]

@kkage2 thats fast for a truck even for today MF

[kkage2]

@Jaygeta1 yeah i know..

The guy i was replying to doesn't seem to think so..

[jkm0687]

ive looked at tyhoons for a while i wouldnt pay 8500 for 171k unless some rebuilding has been done. Then i would till call 8500 top dollar, 6 to 7 would prob sell well.

[davek12]

You gotta love how it starts going and then spins the tires. Real beast.

[RidX4Ricers]

@davek12 Lol it's called turbo lag.

[naboba]

Hey guys , I just picked up a 93 typhoon today from the auction. It has a 171k on it but it still runs really good with great exterior and almost mint interior , is it possible to sell this for 8500? I have never bought anything this old but once I saw it I knew they are really rare . what do you guys think?

[Blooddrunk16]

@naboba I've seen them go for 10k+ still.

[sumthing4me]

NICE!!!!! I liked it so much

[weewoodeal]

tight ride

[Yoyo81828]

it's actually 5.3 seconds.

[gmctyphoon1992]

its actually rated at 5.3 secs but known to do it in less than five stock

[SuperBundie]

yeah without a boostlaunch.

launching with 6/7 psi and it will go under 5.

[rotaryturbo88]

well the syclone was rated at 4.6 0-60 and if it is only .2 seconds faster than the typhoon in the quarter then i am sure the typhoon is either a 4.7 or 4.8 at slowest

[junkyard12320]

cause its turboed. 0-60 in like 4 seconds stock

[MaidenKing17]

wow great acceleration for a stock motor
