Default GMC Typhoon

anyone familiar with this car? all i know is that they're really really really fast. there's one for sale on a used lot near my house for $6000 and it only has 70K on it.

any comments?

it's really really really fast to about 120mph.

i believe under 5 for 0-60?

anyways you can modify it and get 11's pretty easily

if you're serious about buying it have someone who knows those cars and a mechanic look it over.

I'd imagine lot of those were "abused"

6000 is a very good price as long as its in good condition. theyre worth about 10k. have them do a compression test and check for any problems. check for documented maintenace history

awesome buy for 6k:bigok: fastest suv evar and fastest vehicle gm put out for several years.

I raced one when I was on a 50 shot...he got me out of the hole cause of the AWD, but I started reeling him on the top end..
