Re: syty trash talking , and bashing
I owned my truck less than 72 hours when I went to NAPA Autoparts to buy new wiper blades and a K&N airfilter for it. It is my turn at the parts counter so I tell the clerk what I want and there was a guy standing next to me at the counter just BS with the sales clerk. The conversation went like this:
Them, "ah, you have a Syclone. They don't make them anymore."
Me, "yea, they stopped in 92."
Them, "they originally were going to put a 350 in it. Too bad they didn't put a 350 in it. It would have been sooooooo much better with a 350."
Me, "they didn't have to put a 350 in it. The turbo V6 in it has more power than the 350 LT1."
Them, "but it doesn't have as much torque as a V8."
Me, "do you know how much torque it has?"
Them, "I don't know the numbers but I know that truck."
Me, "tell me anything about the Syclone then?"
Them, "I'm not a numbers guy."
Me, "you don't know anything about the Syclone?"
Them, "I know a lot about it. What's there to know if it don't have 800 hp?"
Me, "you don't know anything about it then."
Them, "it isn't like the Grand National. That turbo 3.8 was a damn good engine. Too bad they don't make them anymore."
Me, "you do know that the same people who made the GN also made the Syclone right? They are very similar setups."
Them, "Yea, but the GNs 231s were better."
I grabbed my parts and just left.
