I had a '92 Cyclone - the S-10 truck version. It was stupid fast.
It got stolen
Insurance paid me for it - I made $8000, so not all bad.
I wish I still had it. I'd upgrade the turbo & such.
Car & Driver did a test on one putting it up against a Ferrari. Under the right conditions (cool dense air) it would chap the Ferrari in the 1/4, but shortly after the 1/4 it was getting chaped because of it's boxy shape & poor aerodynamics.
It basically was the drivetrain from a Buick Grand National with AWD & a 400 turbo auto tranny.
I saw one once in Texas that the guy had taken out the V6 & dropped in a 400 small-block.
I can only imagine how wicked that combo would be cause I had an '82 S-10 with a 350, but it wouldn't hook-up off the line, but it had hella top end. I was clocked once in it @ 165. :naughty:
