2.4SS VS. V6 Tiburon
#26
im pretty sure it was a 4 cyl, or he would have hung right with you. or he sucked at driving and didint drop into a low enough gear. you cant say all tibs are slow, there are s/c tibs just as fast as your S/C cobalts all over the place, and N/A tibs, that will kick the pants off your N/A SS's....so be careful I can hang with or pull on stock 05-06 SS/SC's and i have ran down 4 or 5 SSN/A's and im N/A myself.
Whoever said the new tibs arecoming out with 260hp needs to check their facts. There is no proof of that yet, so next time it would be better to think before you type.

Also, you can magazine race all you want, but what it comes down to is driving skill, especially in a manual transmission car. (or 2)

I saw a crappy lookin vw rabbit at the track the other night running consistent 10.80s, its all about money.....
I don't give hyundais much credit ever since my 94 v6 camaro beat one and my cousins base model matrix kept up with him. Pretty sad really.

About your race with one tib in your v6 camaro, you cant hold that true to all Hyundais just cause you beat one tiburon, one time, if you had beaten 4 or 5 with all different drivers and you smoked the hell out of v6's that had anything done to them, id tell you congratulations, you're a hell of a driver

Thats why they had to implement the 10 year/100,000 mile powertrain warrenty when NO ONE else was doing it, because they had such a bad rep for putting out crap.
Truth be told, our cars arent that fast, unless you have a fair amount of cash to drop into them, and there are low 12 sec tibs out there(there may even be a sub 12 second one by now im not sure) But at least have the respect to do a little research before shooting off your mouth with garbage.
I don't diss the cobalts when I beat them or they beat me, have the same respect please.

no it was a dark blue Tiburon GT V6 with Injen stickers on the back window and you can hear the CAI suck in air, so pretty much he probably sucked at driving but he must have sucked bad cuz I pulled him really really hard

What about the Tibby GT-T? A Friend... an EX-friend of mine and my Girlfriends has one. Says she would take me easy... Stock... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Says my car is too puffy... her's is more sporty... low to the ground.. I said, Yeah... well my Supercharger pushes a pretty puffy 12.5psi (15 now!!!). Anyways... I've tried looking up this GT-T... and am finding nothing... does anybody know anything about them? Are they special in some way? I'm sure it is probably the same V6 170 something hp motor like all. Just curious.
