IIRC, the Hurst-Olds was also a sister to the Regal. (It's predecessor was the Olds 442) I think its power was on-par with the Grand National, but not the GNX.

And yes - the Syclone was AWD. It's those types of crazy cars (Syclone, GNX, Hurst-Olds) that GM needs now to infuse the brand with some life...
