Challenger update.

[BJoe]

The Syclone (S-15 pickup) came out first and could give the ZR1 Vette a run for it's money as well as beat up on Ferrari's and Porsche's. Same thing for the GN/GNX and the original GTO's with the 3 two barrel carbs (Chevy felt that only the Corvette should have 3-two's in a light weight package). Supposedly GM has had this silent rule that nothing can be faster, quicker, better handling than the Vette if one of the other divisions came up with something that did, GM killed it or did something to slow it down. IIRC this goes all the way back to the 50's since Chevy was the biggest and best selling Division in GM that they got their way with the internal politics for decades. Dad actually worked with somebody that owned both the Syclone and Typhoon, he told Dad that the Syclone was not only a better performer, but it could do more truck type stuff too. He was kinda wishing he'd kept the Syclone and not traded it for the Typhoon (S-15 Jimmy)
