Dodge SRT-10 Quad Cab

[sUn]

What kind of powerplant does the Syclone have? I'm sure it can't top the rumble of a 8.3L V10.

 

[Klostrophobic]

It's got a 4.3L V6 that pumps out 280 HP and 350 ft-lbs of torque.

Doesn't sound powerful, the only figure that looks powerful is the torque figure. Even in the look's department, it loses.

SRT-10 = pwnage. 👍

The Syclone is better looking, infinitely more efficient, and about 13 years old. Plus it's an SUV, so it's probably more useful.

If only it had a Viper engine. VIPER!!! ENGINE!!!

The point you missed was, Ford and Chevrolet do not, and have never tried to bill their truck as being the best thing on earth.

Dodge claims they have the fastest production truck ever with the SRT-10. Top speed maybe.. But all out fastest? bull****. The GMC Syclone (which was built over a decade ago and only has a V6) is faster to 60, faster in the 1/4, faster in the 600ft slalom, you get the picture.

Then again, maybe you don't.

Dodge hasn't claimed it's the fastest truck ever in all categories, it merely set the Guiness record for fastest top speed set by a production based truck. The point is the Ram SRT-10 is still FAST in all categories. Not FASTEST, but still FAST.

There is a difference between quickest and fastest, Monster. Fastest refers to top speed. Quickest refers to acceleration.

I should probably let you know now that I completely made that up. But maybe it's true anyway!

By the way, the GMC Syclone was a pickup truck based on the GMC Sonoma; the GMC Typhoon was the SUV based on the Jimmy. GMC didn't know it at the time but with the Syclone and Typhoon they were producing revolutionary vehicles that manufacturers are only beginning to catch up to now in terms of everything. The GMC Typhoon is still the second-quickest SUV ever produced, behind the $88900 Porsche Cayenne Turbo. It's quicker than the BMW X5 4.8is, Infiniti FX45, Porsche Cayenne S, and even the Saturn Vue V6. The Syclone, I believe, is still the quickest truck of all time, and one of the fastest. And these were vehicles that saw limited demand in 1991 and 1992 - imagine if they had a Typhoon today based on the Envoy with a Corvette engine.

The Envoy? I'm not so keen that it would be that badass, I wouldn't mind a Yukon with a 'vette engine.

You made that up? It sounds true to me.

A 350bhp Envoy? The current one does 0-60 in about 7.7.

You made that up? It sounds true to me.

Same, so I kept saying it. Can't one of us look it up in the dictionary?

 

[TsLeng]

OMG! And I thought all we need is a toyota landcruiser diesel with less than 100hp!!!!

 

[McLaren]

I said it once, and I'll say it again. Anything with a Viper engine needs to stay 2 doors. Even if it is a truck. The Quad Cab just makes look a little ugly.

I know, but 85% of the general public and 98% of teenbeat kids who read/hear Dodge shouting:

"THE FASTEST PRODUCTION TRUCK EVER!!!!!"​

automatically assume that the SRT-10 is the quickest/fastest/most bad ass truck ever.
(based on my experience with other people)
Its real claim to fame is a Viper motor/trans and the capability to go 155 mph. WOW. Call the people at the Guinness World of Records! (which they did)

Realistically from dozens upon dozens of dyno charts, the Syclone makes around 300 whp and 400 wtq on average bone-stock. That is roughly 400 crank hp and around 500 tq. Match those numbers with a 3600lb truck, All Wheel Drive, and I shouldn't have to say any more. Other than, stick to playing video games.

The only thing that the SRT owns is a record for mph, largest grill, and lowest mpg. Bottom line: An old ass $10-12,000 GMC Syclone will TEAR up an SRT any day of the week.

Just what we need: another pickup that can't get over 10 mpg if its life depended on it.

I saw a Syclone two days ago.

Some old guy was driving it.

Looked great.

The truck, not the guy.

Reminds me of what happened to me a long time ago.

Any of you youngsters remember the 1990(?) Chevy 454 SS? That was a nice sounding pickup, but it wasn't much with 'go,' or 'show.' It was a Chevy P/U with a 190HP 454 engine. Pretty weak, uh. But I had a friend who loved them, and was saving up for one. I told him it was an old ladies truck, so he shouldn't waste his time with it.

One day while out driving with him, we had an argument of how crappy/awesome the truck was, and I again said what a crappy "Old Hag Mobile" the thing was, and he made the following pact with God. He said, "Oh Lord, please give me a sign, to this trucks awesomeness right now, or I'll never speak of it again!"

Just then, the light ahead turned green. The vehicles from the opposite directions started down the street, and what was coming down the street? Some old hag, with curlers in her hair, a cigarette dangling from her mouth. driving by in the same very P/U. I laughed so hard, I forgot to go when the light turned green, and he never spoke of it again, even thought I did bring it up on occasion.
