How many packs did you have to smoke to get this? Does anyone have a count?

It was a contest. No idea how it worked though. Only 10 were converted from stock Syclones.

The special edition Marlboro Syclone was the grand prize for the ten winners of The Marlboro Racing ‘92 Contest. All ten trucks were provided to American Sunroof Corporation (ASC), by Shinoda Design Associates, Inc., in conjunction with Phillip Morris, Inc. With the help of Larry Shinoda , designer of the Corvette Stingray and Boss Mustang, a transformation of the originally black Syclones took place. Marlboro Syclone custom features include:

ASC converted the roof to a targa style roof panel with mounts in the pick-up bed

ASC installed a slide-down rear window assembly

Guidon hard tonneau cover

Boyd Coddington "Cobra" wheels with Marlboro emblem center caps and Goodyear Eagle GS-C tires

PPG "Hot Licks" Red paint, with white strobe stripes provided by Graphik Concepts

Recaro leather seats with Simpson 5-Point racing harness

Custom Momo "Evolution" steering wheel

Sony sound system

PROMPaq performance chip and Borla stainless steel exhaust

Bell Tech suspension dropped 3 inches

For a two pack a day smoker that wouldn't be that hard to manage.

a two pack a day smoker wouldn't even hit 300 packs in 3 months.

I picked a ridiculously large number on purpose lol

Did the syclone (even the "regular" production models) have any transmission options? I only see autos out there.

Ah, thought you were talking actual cigarettes. Going by that they would hit 3,600 in 3 months. Throw in a few stressful days at work and some long road trips and it wouldn't be hard to smoke 3,741 cigarettes in that time span. But yeah, definitely not that many packs.

All the Syclones and Typhoons had a 4-speed auto.. The 4L60 I think, so I don't think manual was an option.
