At the top of the video page it says "the home of the fastest 4wd syclone in the world" so I would assume yes.

That's usually because 90% of the owners leave them bone stock since they are pretty much every buick car collectors dream, that and and a gnX

Fordified, next time your cruising orlando, i'll show you a lump. *coughIGNORANTcough*

moving on...

just some FYI, that record has been broken. Robert, known as Mr. Syclone busted a 9.78@142 over in Sweden, still AWD.

Close behind him is Mike B in Michigan who edged out and tied Robert's last record of 9.84@141, still AWD

Yeah, 13's bone stock is a "lump" of a SUV/truck

True, 13's bone stock, but lets face it, the engines are fragile, the drivetrain is fragile, and there really aren't a great deal of fast ones.

Hell, when did they quit building them? 92 or 93? Its taken 11 years to get one into single digit ET's? Mustangs are running low 6's, GN's running low 7's, Camaro's running low 8's.

Engines are far from fragile, several running deep into the 11's on original engines with a fair amount of miles on the clock. The tranny's generally dont enjoy life I'll give you that

Roughly 7,000 Trucks total EVER were made over the course of three years.

How many and how long have Camaro's, GN's, Stangs etc been around for people to mod and tinker with?
