2.4SS VS. V6 Tiburon

I pull up to the light and the tibby was there at the light and I stop a little ahead of him and, he creeps up. So I figure he wants to go..... well I started sneezing and he floors it and goes, by the time I stop sneezing and punch it his back bumper is at my front bumper and instantly regain my ground and pass him up in a matter of a couple of seconds, so once I get a car length ahead of him I cut off and he does the mighty ricer flyby and I glanced over and noticed that his gf was pretty much drooling over my car. It was a nice little adrenaline rush, and couldn't ask for better conditions also there was no cars at all on the road just me and him.

Some people like them, not sure why but they like them. I would hope that a V6 would have some speed, but it looks like the Tibby's get up and go got up and left.

Get up and go got up and left is a copyrighted description of the 1996 Geo Metro (aka Geoster) that I had.

55HP FTW!

Uhhhhh, no. All the newest Tibby are 172hp, with magazine times of 15.6@88. Not very quick at all.

15.6 is the same as most VVT 2.4's. That's not slow if your a 2.4. Agreed that a V6 should have better times but considering they weigh the same but have different displacement the 2.4 utilizes it's power band better.

I think you misread that part. When he said he cut off, he meant he stopped racing, not cut off the other car.

Stock vs stock they're both very competitive.

Cobalt Curb weight- 2991 171hp/163tq (edmunds.com)

Tib V6 Curb weight- 2969 172hp/181tq (edmunds.com)

Edge to the Tib. Not to mention just a CAI on a V6 Tib adds 15whp.

Good kill

is that 1/4mile time for all the v6 tibbys? I know he had a CAI cuz he had the Injen stickers on his window. So if thats the specs for the v6 tiburons I wonder what my 2.4SS can do in a 1/4 mile but then again he could have sucked at driving and I know he was gunning it cuz my friend could hear where he was.
