I'm in Huntington Beach this weekend, sitting at a redlight last night. I hear the horrible sound of a loud 4-banger exhaust at WOT and don't really look in it's direction because they're pretty common. As it's getting ready to pass through the intersection, I hear a whoosh and see a Typhoon go flying through with the Integra a ways back. It was kind of a cool sight because I never see Typhoons on the street much less in the middle of a race. I have to wonder if the driver of the Integra knew what he was messing with or thought he lost to an old Blazer.
Saw a Typhoon beating up on an Integra

i know what you mean....i have never seen one on the street until this week!!! 
Going down Lakewood Blvd. last tuesday or wednesday around 7am....look in the rearview mirror and all I see is a big black GMC frontal and bright fog lights in the spoiler....so I get over into the slow lane and slow down for him to catch up. Light turns red and we are first in line, me and the passenger had a short convo and exchanged complements (said he has a limited TR)... VERY nice typhoon....had some nice black powdercoated vette wheels with the polished lips...i really liked the truck.
I dont think Ill ever have a beautiful ty/sy or even a TR pull along side me like that again....
BTW....who knows....maybe it was the same truck....HB isnt too far from here....

i see typhoons and syclones all the time, its nothing unusual to see one every week, not the same ones either.
i never get to see a gn on the road, i think i've seen 5 other than mine on the road....
spend a week in hawaii and see like 10 there.

"i see sy/ty's all of the time"
i wish i could say the same. i think theres 1 white tyhoon out here and every now and then i see a syclone. theres about 2-5 GN's around here and now there is 1 turbo-t limited. they're all rare. but it depends on where you live i guess when it comes to how often you see them.

Usually they don't have a clue what hit 'em. The people that know what they are though won't even line up against them. Wich makes it hard to find a fun run because those are the people that have the fast cars.I see Sy's and Ty's here all the time, I just wish I could see more TR's and GN's here
I have been asked so many strange things, "Is that an old Xtreme?" or "That one of those trucks with the V8?" and so on. Kind of funny.....
I love the looks I get in mine!Here is a pic of mine for those who don't get to see them very often

I have had 13 syclone/typhoons in my driveway at once. GRIN.
Get to look at one under a cover daily. Last two years it has seen 100% pushing power.
So I bought a Buick to be a daily... It has seen very little driving duty lately also.
Time to get to work I guess.
When my ty did run, I drove it daily. Is amazing how many people don't give you second look. Most of the time I had to egg people on to race. On the street from a stop very few cars come close.

Sys and Tys are somewhat rare here too. I knew what they were the first time I saw one. There was so much publicity about them how could I not? While I do NOT like SUVs, I would buy a Sy/Ty. As Brian showed us, they can be nice and sinister looking too.

Yeah, she is a garage queen for the most part. The paint is origional (see non clear coat) so damn near every time it gose out in the sun I have to wax it
Looks like this turned into "how many Sy/Ty's have you seen" thread. Well let me add:
I was in Santa Cruz today and there is a black Typhoon that is always out in the elements. I also got a chance to see a Syclone here in town one time, playing with a TA about 2-3 months ago. Kinda funny, after the first stoplight the TA didn't seem to want to play anymore.
Besides car shows the only other one I seen was a rough sy in Benicia that was for sale for cheap. I passed as it wasn't what I neede and figured it would need major repairs soon enough.

I forgot some... One street over from my house there was a guy with a red/silver TY that seemed to need some repairs and a few missing fairings, he moved though so never got to talk to him. There were two others in town that I haven't seen for awhile, one was a turqoise TY and another was a white one with nice rims. I guess when you really think about it you can remeber seeing a few.
I actually drove out there to buy a 1991 Corvette without a motor but it did have the trans and everything else (in pieces). The owner was a captain in the Air Force. The reason I drove out there is I got a GREAT deal as the owner had just bought a complete exotic muscle suspension as well as many other new parts...Now it has a supercharged 532" BBC....under the stock hood (two years later)....

Sy/Ty are rare around here while i do see about 6 or 7 GNs but no other 84-85 GNs like mine. I did get beside a Syclone on the street once it was beutiful, he had me off the launch from a stop light but i cought kinda quick on top, the driver was a really nice guy we later stopped off to talk. i also did see a Typhoon that was a custom two tone pearl white and a metalic blue it was sweet looking.
