@@DocWolph I like cars and generally speaking don't like trucks. A Syclone is still absurdly cool, especially if one improves the handling. Those 5.9 litre Dakotas aren't too shabby either.
I don't think you could capture the magic of that truck again. It was made at a time when we all wanted smaller trucks anyway, and then you told us it's fast too and people loved them. They were basically useless, but it was the time when everyone was falling in love with trucks, not just those that needed the utility. Now what people want is big, tough, and fast. The light and medium duty trucks are nothing in the market compared to their bigger brothers, and nothing compared to the days when rangers, and S10s were everywhere
@@JasonGroom I mean it could be argued that people don't care about practicality when they turn heavy duty trucks into hideous pavement princesses. Plus look how many people want Raptors and all the high level trims/models only to use them as grocery getters. People that like speed build their own, but there's a rather large market for suckers who will pay 6 figures for something they will never push to the limit, let alone maintain properly, just so they can buy another one in a couple years.
GM was very good at making fast turbo 6 cylinders in that era, before that was the Grand National. They could be made even faster too. GM used low boost, what people used to do is modify the waste gates and raise the boost. Factory was like 8lbs and people would raise it to like 13 if memory serves correct. My father was a GM master mechanic, they were always replacing these engines that were under warranty that people modded then changed back after they broke them. I think GM changed their warranty policies after that, forget the details.
Yeah so the gmc syclone (1991) on Wikipedia 0-60 is 4.3secs but I looked on other websites and it’s 5.3 car & driver, 4.9 motortrend, and 5.4 motor week.
I'm actually impressed that you listed trucks I didn't know existed. I get cynical thinking I've seen it all and then get a refreshing reminder that there are new things to discover. Thanks for the hrsprs!
What helped it out was it being so lightweight and it being all wheel drive. It only produced 290hp which is roughly 90hp-110hp over stock 4.3 depending on the reference your looking at.
I’m sitting in the hallway at my school, and right as James said “facts don’t care about your feelings” A teacher walked by, turned around and said “Ben Shapiro, I knew it when I heard it.” I then awkwardly showed him the screen, and he just said “Oh my bad.” It was hilarious.
How did you find time to not only go to school but watch Donut and have this confrontation with this teacher while trying to complete your journey to the dark side?
It's crazy how a little (albeit ALMOST useless) pickup from the early 90s can only be beaten by modern-day, 6-figure cost specially-tuned MONSTER pickups. MAD respect for the Syclone!

A GMC Typhoon is still my top dream car, aside from an r34 or an s2000. The syclone is amazing too, but the Typhoon is just so freaking awesome. It looks rad, it's an amazing sleeper, has room for passengers, and you can eat corvettes for lunch lol. Last thing, even though it's obviously a ridiculous truck, the srt 10 is kinda rad too 😁
I had the Durango R/T with the same 5.9 magnum in it, and I can back up your statement. It was fast as shit....I could only imagine that same motor in those little Dakotas... I miss my Durango RT...wish i never would've sold it... It only got like 8mpg, but man it sure was mean!
I remember when the Syclone came out. What a way cool truck. What made it so stupid fast to 60mph was its all wheel drive launch. Many of the earlier trucks, including the original SRT may have lost the 0-60 race, but at the quarter mile would have pulled well ahead of the Syclone. Those were fun times. The Buick Gran National hit the streets. The Viper. Many cool changes were happening. I will never forget the first time I heard the supercharger screaming as F150 Lightening came flying by. YEs, the trucks now are much faster, BUT most are all financially out of the average persons reach. Gotta love the modern day tuners. Plug it in and add instant performance to your truck. Good times.

And don't excuse the Syclone saying that it's a truck, it's not a truck, forget the racecar supercharged V6 that runs on jet fuel, even the suspension setups aren't suspensions from a truck, it's just not a truck.

Hennessy customer service is SHIT. They were known for having customers vehicles for months and months and never finishing them. It was a shitshow, and their reputation as performance specialists has been permanently tarnished because of horrible customer reviews Had a buddy of mine who ended up suing them over some work they did on his Jeep Trackhawk
From what I hear, if you live outside of Texas good luck getting anything done from them. If you do get something done, you probably won't have what you asked for. I've heard stories of Hennessey parting out customer's (who live in another state) to finish builds for people who live in Texas. Then throwing what ever parts into the parted out car to get it "kinda" working and sending it back. Honestly, if it wasn't for the work they do with Ford and shit, they probably would have gone out of business by now with how they do things.
They have a warranty service now? What a joke. He can't even deliver new cars on time, good luck with any warranty claims. Yeah, he can build fast cars, at the expensive of customers he has no respect our accountability for.
Could you imagine if Hennessey had ever reworked in a Syclone?! We would have experienced antimatter. Lol That's pretty impressive, how it has held a respectable number for that long, accounting its body material, technology for the time and aerodynamic.

Literally did the exact same thing too-
Same
Guilty aswell☺
Yep Yep 🤣
You missed that early 2000s dodge Dakota RT🤷🏻♂️
The GMC Syclone and Typhoon were the two best vehicles they ever built as far as speed. Legends.
Let's give dodge a round of applause for making the top five and not needing Hennessy
solid point
I give it to syclone for being on top for 20 plus years needing no help
Comment above this one... Hennessy lol
Careful, they are listening
@@allencharles14 Thats not really a truck; its more like a coupe with a bucket welded on the back lol. More of a cop-out in my mind. I think its more impressive that a crewcab can beat it.
Nolan talking about shaving balls is my favourite youtube promotion ever 🤣
At least he’s not embarrassed about it anymore haha
Donut makes ads cool to watch
i get the vibes that nolan isnt the kinda guy who goes full bruce willis
The Syclone is the real winner for keeping its crown that long.
GMC Syclone is my dream truck.
Yep 💯%
@@savagesock3598 I passed on one for 20k awhile back... also passed on a Grand National... I regret
Yo it’s absolutely BANOODLES that a truck from the 90s was so fast for so long. That Syclone is nuts.
I feel like all the shrimp references were just so Pumphrey could share that he learned shrimp had 10 legs recently.
In any case, mo’ likes for mo’ Donut babeh!
No one:
Shelby and Hennessy: More! MORE!! M O R E!!!
*M O R E*
Dodge: hold my beer.
Like fkn porn stars 🤣 GIVE ME MORE!!! MOREEE MOOOOOREEE 🤣🤣🤣🤣
GM 4.3 Vortec V6 had insane torque, that's why the Syclone was so quick, people often fail to realize that horsepower is nothing without good torque.
Particularly when you're talking 0-60 times. Even moreso with heavy pickups.
@@wanderer397 bro. Get some help.
That was such a sincere "I love you" at the end my heart melted a bit. James's wife better watch out.
Manscaped is the raid shadow legends of commercials.
My friend cut his nuts up with there product 🤣🤣🤣
@@lavellthomas9490 isn’t that exactly what they market their products for?, to be Knick proof/you won’t cut your sack while shaving?😂
"There is no way a manufacturer is gonna beat this." Dodge, Hennessey & Ford: "Wanna see me do it again?"
And then chevy comes out with a second gen syclone just to take the status back
@@oliverthecool8329 and by that you mean GMC.., highly doubt it.
@@oliverthecool8329 quit clinging to false hope. GM's on its last legs. Ford and Dodge are taking over.
@@oliverthecool8329 not happening, if its not a Silverado they don't care and they care more about towing then going fast in a truck
@@ooozooo7333 you tell him to |quit clinging to false hope" mean while you out here tripping balls.
chevy still has the camaro, corvette, and silverado all 3 of which are selling just fine and thats not to include some of there other cars that are selling.
and don't clap back with bullshit, i work in the auto field the company i work for just had a meeting 2 weeks ago going over numbers showing what is selling from everyone we make parts for including Chevy, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Subaru.
mostly SUV's are selling which Buick owned by chevy/GM ownes and they are doing good.
also chevy just released a new truck in china that is also selling.
The dodge little red express actually looks really cool, genuinely might be my favorite looking old school truck.
I just discover this channel , and due to this dude's power and style I am just watching all of their video . Although I was not into cars before but after seeing him I am in 😂
tell me why i genuinely enjoyed that tiny Kero Kero Bonito reference at the beginning. donut's got taste
I feel like the KKB/Donut overlap is really small, but here we are.
@@BuffMyRadius I think more of us are blasting Flamingo than we think.
Flamingo automatically played in my head when i see that Shrimp
I still need to know how many shrimp I have to eat before I make my skin turn pink...JAMES TELL ME HOW MANY
Some say people are still waiting for Hennessy to finish their vipers...
Hennessy customer service is SHIT.
They were known for having customers vehicles for months and months and never finishing them. It was a shitshow, and their reputation as performance specialists has been permanently tarnished because of horrible customer reviews
Had a buddy of mine who ended up suing them over some work they did on his Jeep Trackhawk
They sold zr1 packages and had customers waiting over a year 😂😂 hennessy is a joke
Hennessy is sketch as fuck. Idk why anybody would go to them
From what I hear, if you live outside of Texas good luck getting anything done from them. If you do get something done, you probably won't have what you asked for. I've heard stories of Hennessey parting out customer's (who live in another state) to finish builds for people who live in Texas. Then throwing what ever parts into the parted out car to get it "kinda" working and sending it back.
Honestly, if it wasn't for the work they do with Ford and shit, they probably would have gone out of business by now with how they do things.
They have a warranty service now? What a joke. He can't even deliver new cars on time, good luck with any warranty claims. Yeah, he can build fast cars, at the expensive of customers he has no respect our accountability for.
I feel like Clarkson needs to teach him how to slap the times up lol
Its good to see that the one that started the sport truck. Came out on TOP as the finisher. 😎
James- “At home, probably on the toilet “
Me- 👁👄👁
Can we get a sleeper sedan tier list? Like speed and sleeper-ness rating, like basically what seems more normal.
Happy Friday my dudes don’t forget to call your moms on Mother’s Day
What if your mom is dead, in jail, or you just don't particularly like her?
@@JulezWinnfield call her to tell her she sucks
Edit I forgot about the dead
whats that
@@JulezWinnfield
Dead - visit her grave
Jail - visit her cell
Dislike her - kiss her on the cheek :)
What should I get her
Trucks are the real original hotrod.
Can't go wrong with a hot truck
The "Shrimp" at the end made my freaking year 😂🙌🏻🙏🏻
11:20 "but that AIN' ALL" I can't be the only person to have heard something different lol
I got an ad right as he said it so I was just sitting their wondering about wtf I just heard lmao
They hold a ton of shrimp 😂
yeah but not the ones in water
@@_--__- 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can verify.
insane, more than 2 kilos every week.
Whatever! You’re hot! We get it!
I love how James is just losing his mind over these powaa stats 😂😂
I like how the Monolist ran out of space so James have to taped the rest of them and some of them even fell
Donut spares no expense.
I love you Donut Media!❤️
Could you imagine if Hennessey had ever reworked in a Syclone?!
We would have experienced antimatter. Lol
That's pretty impressive, how it has held a respectable number for that long, accounting its body material, technology for the time and aerodynamic.
It’s still a very respectable number
I find it amazing that the syclone built in the 90s held the fasted 0-60 time until 2014 or 2016 when they made the ford raptor turbo.. that's sick!
Donut Media is the spiritual successor to the original Top Gear's humor and James Pumphrey is the pre-death reincarnation of Jeremy Clarkson (in personality). Thanks for existing guys.
Car Throttle would like to know your location
Donut Media's contents are actually very different than the Top Gear ones, but I see your point and I give thanks to them for existing and making everything we see possible
Yeah no
Mmmmmmmmm, no. Tough the comparison is beyond hilarious, considering the how the trio feel about 'muricans, maybe the Hamster......seeing his affinity for mustangs.
Hard to imagine that there is someone on earth that is this naive but here you are.. cars + camera = top gear 🤣🤣🤣
Damn made it here 9 seconds after uploading, new personal record lol
Congratulations lol
The KKB reference at the beginning!!! Your editor knows what’s up
Silverado SS was best vehicle I've driven. It was fast, it soaked up Michigan potholes like butter. Kicked ass in snow (AWD) and was comfy luxury inside.
My #1 vehicle.
"Go back to the 90's where Clarissa is still explaining it all" - DONUT KEEPS PROVING THEIR 🐐 STATUS 🤙🏿

I hate her stupid brother Ferguson.
Finally a Ram R/T gets a little bit of recognition. They're hardly ever talked about almost as if they didn't exist.
I'd like to see the Dakota R/T you don't hear of those anymore
Because there is only like 5 on the road anymore 😂

This show literally brightens my dad. U gotta love James
I want Pumphrey to play Thor. Just to hear him scream lightning in full outfit.
“Rarely are you ever like dang that’s a fast truck” homeboys never been to Texas lol
That ain’t no shit
production trucks, lol
There are 4-banger Tacomas here that will slap your shit and your Hellcat's shit, and laugh at you afterwards.
@Black Dad I’m talkin bout fast STREET trucks, Daily driver trucks not track
Hell yhea texas still choppin truck scene so big out here get clapped by a crew cab on 26s and youll just be like dayum
Having been alive in the 90's I'm surprised they didn't call it the "Psyclone" because that speed back then is NUTS!
Everyone is getting so out of hand, that out of hand is the new normal.
It's like having an ace, then another ace.. then another! Like what do want.. diamond studded aces?
Well actually that doesn't sound so b-
Ok ok
8:05 I was literally on the toilet at that moment! 😂😂😂😂
Damn dude, you should probably write a book.
I spend enough time on the crapper to write 12 books! Especially when I'm at work 😂😂😂
James is the best show host, don’t tell nolan
James is super energetic and unpredictable
Nolan is more calm and is a better teacher.
Both are awesome
The guy with the Miata not bad. Saw an old donuts video (top mod cars) with a guy never saw before who was pretty good also. But James is my fav
I have to be in the right mood for a James video. I can watch Jobe, Uncle Jerry, or Nolan any time though.
Nolan is a God at selling ball trimmers.
Be kind to Nolan guys. Love you.
