        Uhrrr?  A V8 Syclone? Weren't they the 3800/231 Buick V6, of the
late,lamented Buick Grand National/GNX? That's my understanding. GMC decided
to tweak the suspension on an S-15, drop the GNX turbo-intercooled V6 into
it, and voila', a pickup that outhandled and out-accelerated the base Vette,
but not the ZR-1.
