Typhoon vs. Syclone

I drove both (back in the day...) and the Typhoon was only a smidgen slower than the Syclone...the Typhoon simply weighed more. I sold one to a friend that drove a Porsche Carerra four and after he studded the Typhoon, he said it was a much better car for winter roads; the AWD, weight distribution and power made for an awesome little car on icy roads, great fun! I always wanted to get a Typhoon/Syclone chassis and stick it under an early 50's Chevy pickup for an awesome street truck! Wheelbases were almost identical and it would've been a neat/fun project....built a 4WD custom van instead.
