[QUOTE="HAMMRHEAD, post: 37121, member: 602"] Everyone has they're own opinion, and I can certainly respect them regardless. Having purchased both of these trucks brand new I will say that the Gen2 is a better built truck, but for me the Syclone is simply more fun to drive. Sure, it has its problems, but so does the L. Wait until these Gen2's get to be another 5+ years older. Look at the problems it has already! My Sy ran 13.6's at 96 mph when new, bone stock, 70 degrees and super humid. Not to mention I wasn't launching anywhere near as hard as I could have been. The AWD is an absolute BLAST on the street! Nothing,so far, can touch it from a stoplight. Imagine how much quicker the Gen2 would be if you could stall out the converter & build 5#'s of boost or so with your left foot on the brake, then all at once, let off the brakes and smash your right foot through the firewall without repaving the road with GoodYear F1 rubber! Just 'chirp' the tires and you're G-O-N-E !Sounds fun eh? Of course smokin' off the rear tires once in a while is kinda entertaining too!:D Think about this. How do all of the rest of the 'performance cars/trucks' from the early '90's (save for the ZR1 & Viper) compare to these Gen2's - - They don't! Just the fact that the 1991 GMC Syclone is STILL considered a threat to todays 'fast' cars (and trucks;) ) says it all. Maybe it's not the fastest as far as top speed goes because the stock computer chip shut it down at 126mph , but it's STILL the quickest 'production' pickup on the planet when it comes to Zero to Sixty- hands down! Being as the majority of street races are over not long after 60mph, the Syclone will generally win.(There are always exceptions) I was actually considering a 'new for '92' 300 horsepower LT1 Vette just before I purchased the Sy, but the insurance was too high - Thank God! If I had bought the Vette and still had it today, Gen2's would be stomping me in a straight line! My L is a real cool truck that I enjoy every day. It's just not my favorite truck, sorry. Enjoy whatcha got. If we all had the same vehicles w/ the same mods and were all as fast as the next, this would suck!:-? [/QUOTE]
