I want a GMC typhoon.

First off it's being difficult to find a good one to buy. I'd prefer white but I'd settle for black. (I'm in alberta Canada)

Any issues people know about, basically all I've found from searching is people bagged em hard because they were fast.

Whatcha think?

black is the most common color in them. the 4l60 transmission is great and the engine is also fine.

tbh they aren't really that fast. 14 second 1/4 mile, barely goes over 120mph. they do have good low end acceleration but thats about it in the speed category.

i wouldn't bother unless you for some reason really want one of these just to have.

I have a corvette. The typhoon is going to be my spare vehicle to drive to work lol.

So I'm not too worried about going super fast

well the problem is you are going to have to risk a lot with it being a daily driver. people treating it like a race car, its mpg is low, finding one in the first place.

just not worth the effort for a daily driver.

Biggest issue I'm having is finding one. I don't really mind the gas or anything. And ya finding one that wasn't beat on.

I work in a steel mill. I don't want my vette to be covered in dust and dirt every day I work.
