Budget DIY Pickup Outperforms Powerful GMC Syclone

Tony Angelo from the Stay Tuned channel on YouTube built his own version of the GMC Syclone, a factory hot rod truck, for about $6,000. Using a Chevy S10 and an AWD Astro van drivetrain, he achieved power numbers surpassing the original Syclone, with 265 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. The DIY creation also achieved a 0-60 mph time of 4.58 seconds, outperforming the new Ford Super Duty with the high-output 6.7-liter Power Stroke engine. With a fun-per-dollar ratio that is hard to beat, this homemade Syclone offers impressive performance at an affordable price.
