Well, there was the Cyclone or Typhoon, I believe. One was a pickup and the
other was the 2 door Blazer like thing. Both of them hauled butt!

Just so you know the genesis of my question.  I am not in the market for a
pickup.  I had a situation last night were I raced a pickup, and I'm sure it
was a GMC.  He raced away at the green light and my reaction was slow, but
still expected my car to catch and beat him.  I eventually caught him and
passed him around 100 after I had to slow behind a car in the right lane.  I
was left with a less than satisfied feeling after that.  The guy's truck was
very quick.

Murph, 500hp at the crank for what, your SHO?  Must be supercharged, right?
