I love this video. I can't wait to try to race it on a drag strip too then get kicked out for going too fast... ;)

That's pretty funny. I bought one of the first Syclones when they came out and now about to one of the first Rivians. I guess I like fast trucks. The Syclone was so fun in its day at stop lights, especially with motorcycles! No one knew what it was!

I don't know what's more impressive - how powerful the Rivian is, or how slow the Raptor is (relatively speaking of course)

Love that video. Amazing how the Raptor now looks like a slow bargain. I always wanted one of those Syclones!

The GMC Syclone was awesome! I can’t believe how fast it still is!

Am I the only person that doesn't care about straight line speed? All EVs are super fast and super reliable to the point where these things really don't matter anymore. I just want better ergonomics, build quality, and suspension refinement than my Tesla with comparable ADAS and charging performance. I have no interest in roasting my expensive tires at every stop light.

That is so cool! 2 of the best trucks ever.

This was a proper video. Total length less than a Marvel movie, exec summary in first 1:30, wildly entertaining, tremendous factual content, evil grins, a few surprises, great lighting and editing, and best ever "like & subscribe" pitch at the end which takes a brief 3 seconds.

Meanwhile, there's a ton of great quotes: such as "in the history of the world", "next level stupidity", "apartment on wheels", "occupants will not even feel the thump (as their truck runs over a GTI)", "ChevRivian", "this is so stupid", and so on.

Look forward to hauling our surf boat as we pass supercars going up the Ike.

I too had a Syclone. I have great memories of road-tripping it to Kansas City for the first Sy/Ty nationals. Perhaps we could have R1T/S national meet in KC.
