1993 GMC Typhoon Turbo 2dr SUV AWD
I did a ton of research before buying
my 93 typhoon on ebay. I read about
how they are insanely fast yet
comfortable. when I got it I realized
that although its extremely highly
rated, its still underrated. its
faster than car & driver says. in fact
its the most amazing car I've ever
driven. I don't beat camaros and
vipers... I HUMILIATE them. it's not
even a … contest. it looks amazing
without being pretentious like a
ferrari or mclaren. at the end of the
day I can't believe I own one,
especially knowing how its even more
insane than the magazines or anyone
else knows.

1992 GMC Typhoon Turbo 2dr SUV AWD
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 doesn't effect performance. This SUV is the ultimate sleeper. The mileage is painful, but then again that's a more than fair exchange … for the performance!
Wanted one, got one. Love it!

1992 GMC Typhoon Turbo 2dr SUV AWD
In '92 couldn't 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 I've read about this vehicle is true. It launches itself forward and it's 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 I've 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 he's owned a few performance cars in his time, Corvettes, Camaros, El Caminos, etc. Get one!
