  • Wanted one, got one. Love it! - 1992 GMC Typhoon
    By -

    In 92 couldnt afford it, got an S-15 SLE Jimmy instead. In 97 missed the opportunity, to get a bank repo. In 09 I found one, with under 60K and running sweet. Everything Ive read about this vehicle is true. It launches itself forward and its a rocket when compared to the 92 Jimmy, same engine but w/o that Mitsu turbo. It not only looks good it feels good, those leather seats are so comfortable and Ive also always wanted a console floor shift, no disappointment here. I let my friend drive it back to work after we dropped off the Jimmy. He was aw-struck at the power and speed, and hes owned a few performance cars in his time, Corvettes, Camaros, El Caminos, etc. Get one!

    Fast, Somewhat reliable, needs spark plugs at least every 12k. Most parts are obsolete or cost a fortune, or both. Fast fun, if you have lots of time to maintain it.

  • Sport Car In Disguise - 1992 GMC Typhoon
    By -

    The Typhoon is fun to drive and deceptively fast. It can run head to head with a same-year Vette and this thing is definitely not a fiberglass sports car. It launches like a rocket and sticks to the road like glue. It may not be the fastest production SUV anymore, but thats OK when you take into account that it took 15-16 years for the rest of the automotive world to catch up. If you have the opportunity to buy or even drive one, dont pass it up. They are becoming increasingly rare and a definite collectible. I will leave you with this: I was looking for a turbo import, LS1 Trans-Am/Camaro, C4/C5 Vette, and I adamantly refused to buy a truck/SUV and now I couldnt be happier.

  • Sweet Ride - 1992 GMC Typhoon
    By -

    I purchased my 92 Typhoon about a year ago. The vehicle is 14 years old and the rest of the SUVs are just starting to catch up. I have 124,000 miles on mine and the engine, turbo and tranny still run like new. I have one small leak and it certainly doesnt effect performance. This SUV is the ultimate sleeper. The mileage is painful, but then again thats a more than fair exchange for the performance!
