There's a Syclone coming! Just kidding, it's a Typhoon. Just kidding, it's both. The Syclone & Typhoon are possibly GM's most iconic little pickups, so naturally they deserve their own Up to Speed episode. This is everything you need to know on the GMC Syclone & Typhoon.

The Typhoon was 25 years ahead of its time. If it came out today, it would sell like hotcakes.
Basically what the escalade V is, but a lil cheaper
There's a new rendering floating around YT about just that very idea.... re-releasing the Syclone
I'd buy it
I guess I am speaking for the whole community when I say;
Get well soon James, I hope you have a swift recovery.
God bless you.
Is he ok now?
Yeah
A rich kid at my high school got his parents to buy him a Syclone when they came out in 1991. He totaled two in 6 months. After he totaled his second Syclone that he got from his parents insurance after totaling the first one, his parents decided against giving him a third Syclone and he ended up with a full size Chevy extended cab stepside instead. That truck he managed to make last through the rest of his junior and senior year without wrecking.
Rest in piece to the two Syclones that died too early. 😭
Im looking at this thing from Russia thinking "See Americans are crazy people too!".
Was this thing even remotely capable of holding a corner at speed? 😅
Natilyi M surprisingly for the time it didn’t do too bad. It wasn’t like a Ferrari or Porsche in the corners but handled better than most cars did at the time.
@@porscheguy09 Very nice... I want oneeeee 😅 something about it just screams 80s Rock... Feathered hair, leather pants...
What a dick hole
The “Marlboro edition” syclone = “Trailer park Rolls Royce”
RC Maniac at that time, more like trailer park NASCAR
This is a VERY good comment.......thank you.
YeeeeeeeHuuuaaaaaaaaaaa🤠🏁🏎️
RC Maniac
www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/buying-maintenance/news/a25959/would-you-pay-80000-for-this-taiga-topped-marlboro-gmc-syclone/ and only 10 were made. This one went for $80,000.
I'd drive it
What's up with the audio? Sounds like James is in a bathroom next door.
mmhmmm
Surround sound babeh!
Hey when you gotta go you gotta go mid recording 💀
@@cookiehead2 yeah, but reversed. i'm hearing him from the "background" speakers and hearing the background noises from the central. :D
I thought It was only me
The syclone always been a favorite of mine, like a hidden gem of the truck world.
Ever since I first learned of these about 7 or so years ago I've really been wanting to pick one up. Really wish I had back then and been able to get it for a bit cheaper. Luckily they still really aren't that expensive.
I hope you are ok James🙏🏽🙏🏽 Heart attacks are scary❤❤
Up to speed: TVR
yes please
YESSSS
What is TVR?
Daniel Cannon British sports car company
@@TechDove oh alrighty then
The Typhoon is one of my dream cars. I will have one eventually
Hunt for a good one that hopefully hasn't had 10 owners living stoplight to stoplight ;)
Ive got a red 93 typhoon for sale with less than 30,000 miles on it. If anyone’s interested. And I need it gone!! I will seriously accept any reasonable offer. Hit me up for pics and info if you’re serious Steven!!!
I won't, unfortunately, these cars weren't sold outside the usa, i hardly doubt someone here in my country got one. And if somebody have, why tf are you going to sell it anyways.
A guy who goes to the local cat meets has a black Typhoon. Seen it race a couple times. Never seen a Syclone though
"Hey what are ya doing with that little truck don'tchu know?"
Anthony Alfrey best part
The amount of energy you all put into your videos keeps me building. Even when I wanna throw my car into a ditch. Get well James. We all want to see you get better.
I had a typhoon in the early 2000's. It was a blast. If you can get one, buy it!!! Youll love the attention it gets everywhere you drive it.
I was expecting this video for years!!!!!
MAN I LOVE THE SYCLONE!
lighting lighting lighting
Me too bud love these trucks! I got a 91 Sonoma sle that I had for 8 years now, not a syclone but the closest I can get
No Lightning allowed in a GM truck vid. They got a mention because it was a nod to the whole street truck scene. That is all.
@@PrydeWater901 Absolutely, without these two even brothers we never would have had "Muscle Trucks" like we have had
Sad face for so many that have died and been horribly modified over the years though, even film on here of a stock one is hard to come by
@@LucoreAuto here in Brazil there is some syclones but all original thank god
Thanks for posting this video. My uncle, whom I was very close to, passed away recently. He owned a Syclone back in the day. He bought it brand new. I can still remember the look of excitement on his face when he showed it off to me (I was 14 at the time). He owned Corvettes, Camaros, and Harleys, but I think this vehicle was his favorite. Thanks for all your videos. I have had great fun watching them with my sons and introducing them to cars. Now I must leave and get a 6-pack of NOS ENERGY DRINK!!!
Finally an Up To Speed on my favorite sleepers ever !!! My dream is to get a Syclone and perfect it in my own way ❤❤❤
I love how every company eventually becomes Minnesotan "Dointchah Knoeh?"
Yah goh packers...
Honda Civic with flames: I can Beat anyone in a race!
Typhoon and Cyclone: *Angry GMC Noises*
Usually we were sitting quietly at the light waiting to AWD launch without a tire chirp ;)
General Motors: falls apart
Scotty Kilmers Toyota Celica: nyooom
Max Beech hahahah go the civic
@@Whiteandsonsgarage
Hell nah
josh h I can like a civic but I want it to be built
For decades one of the Prototypes was used as a shop truck by a ex Buick Engineer here in St Louis MO. I drove by it everyday on the way home from work. He Had a shop that was well known for working on Grand Nationals , t types and gnx's. When I dropped my th400 of to get built there I got the grand tour of the place. Tons of prototype Buick racing parts everywhere. It was awesome!
This episode brought to you by the integrated microphone in James' phone.
You guys need to make an up to speed episode with one of the most underrated car brands of all: Suzuki!
Swift ftw
Hell yeah... My Chevrolet powered Forenza is a beast. 👊
Well they just released the hayabusa motorcycle, so that is a little bit of suzuki.
I got a Baleno GSR - can see it on my channel... Only got the one vid xD
jimny, swift, sx4
The Ram SRT10 has got to be one of my favorite cars I have seen
SRT was crazy enough to take the 8.3 L V10 out of the Viper and stick it in the Ram 1500 and the Ram SRT-10 was born. My spec Silver 04 to 05 regular cab
Actually pretty affordable these days
@@Jeff-uq7iu We just sold one for 18k with 130k+ on it
I test drove the shit out of that truck when it first came out lol
The day you guys posted the original S10 video in December of last year I had found a 94 2nd Gen S10 with a 4.3 and was flip flopping on it. About an hour later you guys posted your video. 5 days later I bought it and have been dailying it ever since. I'm planning on turning it into a sort of Syclone 2.0. A sort of tribute to what could have been if the conversion company had lasted just a single year more. And a tribute to all of you at Donut for helping me pick one of the toughest little trucks I could have asked for. Thank you all for making the car scene amazing and fun!
I've been waiting for this episode!! Good job guys!! I hope they bring back the Syclone someday
they have a $80k extended cab version that they can make for you out of the GMC Canyon...just not the same, but it looks nice.
WTF is going on with James sound? i thought my headphones were dying!
me too, gave me a mini heart attack
Coming soon Donut Media ASMR
Same
Me too
Jack Daniels not sure, very strange
Hey, i recognize that notepad from Blue's Clues!
3:23
Thought I was the only one 😅
Jeep up the good work, I never miss a “Up to Speed” episode!
You've done it James!!! You made me cry this is my favorite vehicles
DID WE JUST LEARN WHO JAMES’ DAD IS OMG
Who
SalmanZazaBacaGmod Jeremy clarkson
No this is the 2nd time he has said Jeremy Clarkson is his dad. I think the 1st time was in the koenigsegg up to speed.
some say, that his girlfriend jessica wont let him buy a bigger turbo, and that his main source of nutrition comes from an energy drink called nos, all we know is he's called james pumphrey !
Avenir Music You could’ve guessed who his dad was from his older videos
"Conceived by Buick, shunned by Chevy, and brought to life by GMC"
Sounds like someone has Multiple Personality Syndrome.
@@kjh4112 Care to elaborate?
Αντώνιος Πάσχαμυλωνάς-Ecord Hahahaha definitely
Considering they are all the same company.
Sounds like the Father denies his babies because they looks like the Weatherman, therefore it was named after the Storm routes ^_^ #2-4
And gauges out of a Pontiac Sunbird minus the red backlighting when switched on.
Proud of you guys for the anti-smoking plug! I was diagnosed with early onset COPD at the age of 17 due to years of second hand smoking
Get better soon james!! We're all routing for you!
The Blues Clues notepad! 3:20
The Nostalgia bois
I noticed aswell good eye sir
Hello everyone....
We need Cosworth, Transits, and Jensens. The Brits can do a thing or two right
Dont forget mg, austin and lotus
Although I am an American, I second this motion.
And abarth!! (not british either but this needs done as well)
Yep, I agree with you!
What is Jensens
Best of wishes to Pumphrey, I hope you can recover fast and safely. Your energy makes up to speed like no other car video on RUclips. You are a legend, Pumphrey.
Looking back these were so cool... ahead of their time! Bring them back!
Back when the 2nd gen lightning came out, my uncle and his friend pulled some strings to race their trucks at an airfield near where they worked. My uncle said when they took off, the syclone had him off the line and had him for about half the run way. I would have given anything to seen that sweet race
From a standing start these things had truly brutal acceleration especially for the time. No tire spin, no drama, just hooked and booked.
Love my ‘93 Ty! ❤️ Thanks for spotlighting us James!
Man... cheer up. Glad you are ok and recovering quickly. Looking forward to watch your videos in no time.
The cyclone is my dream car. Thank you for posting this🤙
Plz next time up to speed on: smoky nagata's Top Secret or Mines' (skyline tuner)
Mines did a few Evo's too I believe.
Yes. Just what I've been hoping for, one of my favorite overlooked vehicle badges. Thank you Donut and thanks to Nos for helping keep this show going.
All these Years and I haven’t seen these series. 😮 Better then 99 % of the stuff out on the Media rn. Up to speed. Love it❤
So glad to finally get a GMC episode :)
Oh, the supercar killer from the 1990's
Can confirm, these things still abused supercars well into the 2000s ;)
In a straight line for sure
@@landonmc98 realistically even the handling isn't THAT terrible considering most 90s supercars were also terrible in the turns
ThE SuPRa !
@No Nope future episode? 90s super cars on an autocross track?
I’ve had the pleasure of riding shotgun in both a Syclone and Typhoon. Great video 👍🏾👍🏾. Up To Speed: MG.
Comfy place to be aren't they? Even with a neck snapping launch off a stoplight!
I saw a Syclone drive through the parking lot at work today and decided to revisit this video:)
I was a professional test driver for GMC in the early 90's at the hot weather testing grounds in Mesa Arizona. I drove all of their prototype and concept cars i.e. Cadillac Allante, Saturn, Corvette, Camaro, Opel and a few others. Well the mechanics and engineers built this runabout truck they would use to go from building to building on the grounds, it wasn't street legal and they drove it like maniacs! It was built using an S-10 Blazer, they removed the rear windows on the sides and back and chopped the roof off of it. It looked like a mini Avalanche. They fitted an LT1 in it and mounted C4 Vette wheels. It was a beast and its my belief it was the accidental concept for the Syclone and the Typhoon. That's my story and Im sticking to it!!
Typhoon is also my favorite move with Storm on X-Men vs. Street Fighter
I feel a STORM coming! 🔥🔥🔥
@blackandgold51 haha just got me thinking of:
_Up to Speed | Lister Cars_
I saw one syclone as a teenager and touched my soul, still think about that thing of beauty. Would love to own one someday, but a teal typhoon also screams early 90’s😍
I still have the Syclone I bought new. 9000 miles on it.
Awesome dude but come on man they are made to be driven not just parked and sit there.
Everything u need to know on the Ford Ranchero!!!
El saco rojo de Osvaldo subdito de Jose Miguel YES PLEASE
still waiting on the Ford SVT up to speed
blackandgold51 he mentions ss when he does the up to speed on the Silverado but barely....
RAID3R63 Still waiting on that DODGE CHALLENGER UP TO SPEED!
@blackandgold51 They did an up to speed for silverado.
I enjoyed this video a lot. I never realized they were that rare though. That's like an exotic car almost. Only from good ol'e 'Merica. Gotta love "Merica. (:
The Sycoone and Typhoon are both legends.
2 pretty and decent sleepers I would like to own.
6:45
HOLD UP
Finally I've been waiting for you guys to make this
Yes sir lol I'd love to have a cyclone
@@derekv275 S ... Syclone ;)
@@LucoreAuto yes
Just want to say thanks for the laughs 😂. I recently stumbled across the channel and I’m glad I did, you guys are f’n awesome. Stay safe
Hey man, hope youre doing good. Wouldnt know what to do without these videos. Youre an absolute g. Take as many months as you need. The pumpster lives on baby.
I don't know what Source Attribution is, but that's my Syclone at 4:46
it's a beautiful machine my friend.
Well then you should do something about it. Speak up to Donut
I bet they could add a credit at your request.
GMC Syclone there are the channel names in the top left corner
@@edgiestofcars I know, source Attribution is what it said over my clip.
Get well soon James, now you need to cut back on the nos
And the cheese curds, and hamburgers, and McDonald's, and other fat guy vices.
I've been waiting to see this episode for forever
Mostly background laughs and then James's jokes entertains me most in the show.
too much nos energy drink.
For those that don't know james had a heart attack a few days ago. I pray to see you come back soon but please take your time. Hope to see you laugh and smile again soon!
No views, 15 likes, 18!comments. Good job
Thanks for sharing these a blast from the past. Guy lived across the street from me had a Syclone. I have also seen a few Typhoon around town. I went to Sears Point Raceway (Sonoma Race way now) and they had the prototype Ram SRT 10 truck, It was in the blue and white paint scheme of the Viper GTS, then a few years later they released the production version.
Sorry to hear that you had a heart attaque, hope you heal fast and get better soon man, take the time needed bro.
Great vid, stillll waiting for my Thunderbird vid.........
So the mystery is solved. James dad has been reveled. Go Kentucky boi! 502 for life
One of my favorite videos
Hey James, get well soon buddy! My family enjoys every video!
The syclone at 4:49 is for sale on Portland Craigslist right now 😂
You know if still aviable ?? Hw much?
@@agvazquez4331 idk but it had no motor or anything. I saw z typhoon for sale the other day at Eldon Robbins Auto Sales in Longview, Washington. Its a 92 with 83k miles for 16 thousand.
I remember trying to take on a brand new GMC Typhoon off the line with my mommy's 1983 Pontiac Phoenix (2.8L V-6)
I lost.
If it was in the 80s and 90s and from a stop light, unless you had racing slicks there wasn't much that could out dig these two off the line
Yeah you did lol
You didn't just lose... You got anihilated. 😂
Makes sense.
Congrats GMC (Grabowsky Motor Company) on your 100 year anniversary!
Finally! ive been waiting for this one
Get well soon James!!!
Can you guys pleeeeease do an up to speed on the grand prix GXP????
Ive waited so long for this since the first episode
two of my favorite trucks!!
UP TO SPEED ON THE TOYOTA HILUX
Yes i know he covered the tacoma and 4runner, but what the hilux has achieved in motorsport and how reliable its proven to be by top gear can’t go unnoticed
Could go into a bumper to bumper episode to avoid overlap and throw those history lessons into it
Yeah I remember those episodes of Top Gear fondly they tried to kill a Toyota Hilux but they couldn't. Couldn't believe it was driving after what they did to it.
Subaru Legacy pleaseee !!!
Always loved these trucks since I was a kid
Hell yes!!! The last month I've been looking into buying a gmc typhoon. Thank you 🙏 next you gotta do Callaway, srt8 jeep and BMW s1000rr 🤘
Thanks for telling me about the prototype. i am so building one
literally my two favourite cars in the world
Finally a video about this car
Both of those suv and trucks are my favorite of all time
My neighbor has a syclone with some performance goodies on it, that thing is a rocket ship
Hopefully its being cared for, far too many of these things have died over the years!
Lucore Auto and LucoreRacing it’s being cared for, gets taken to the drag strip on the regular
@@mikel6989 Many of these trucks have lived that life for the past almost 30 years. Go out hurt feelings, come home and relax!
Get well soon, James
Speedy recovery brother!
I actually just bought a 92 tyohoon. Love it so far
Can we have up to speed on the AUTOZAM AZ1
Tatsuya Shima yessss
Ok Blackbird
Get well soon Janes! if anyone doesnt know, James had a heart attack today or yesterday I believe.
BagelBytes get well James. don't know you,but none the less. wish you best.
5:45 had me rollin especially because I was a bit buzzed & baked 😭😂
My good ole buddy Looche in Pa. had both of these gems at one time. 😆
Such a badass truck/SUV. An old man down the street has one. I keep asking him to adopt me and leave me his typhoon
Had an astro van with a turbo as a typhoon tribute
Sweet!
@@benruether8294 thanks, i miss it
Get well soon brotha thoughts and prayers your way love the 🍩 fam.
Get well soon brother.
