ok so i was coming home from st lois on the highway. this car starts kinda messing with me, its dark out and it looks kinda like a bimmer, but i cant tell. anyway, he gets the jump (no honks i had to downshift while he went) so he pulls about 3 cars and.. i cant catch him till 140. on the second race we launched pretty even, (he still got the jump) and i didnt catch him till 120. and i wasnt even pulling really hard...

anyway, come to find out, its a freakin SONATA! i was like wtf is this ****? lol. the guy (we stopped at the same gas station) said it was a rental car. it had dual exhast, not loud at all, with hubcaps. the thing literally looked like a rental car. lol. i didnt expect it to be that fast. if i was in my civic si im pretty sure i would have lost by a lot. ha.

something is wrong with your car.... That means a sonota will hang with a stock mustang GT from a roll, which I don't think is possible....Your learn down must have down syndrome or something.

I've driven a rental Sonata whenever I was carless right after flipping my G5. No ***** on them at all. I doubt that a rental place would run the 3.3 V6. Most usually go with a fleet one with the 2.4L I4.

even if my car had a problem. the thing is, that sonata got up to 140mph faster than it should have. maybe it wasnt stock but it suprized the hell out of me. my ss/tc is fine and im not a crappy driver by any means. lol. i didnt even think a car like that could go past 120mph. let alone 140.

id kill myself. im sorry

... You might want to check for a boost leak... or pop your hood and make sure your motor is in fact still in the engine bay...

cobaltssTH

.....but seriously lol

that rental was probably bottle fed, like that poor red balt

i hope you guys run across that some sonata one day. lol. theres no other way i can explain it. my cars fine. i was boosting about 13.5-14.5 psi because its pretty cold outside. doesnt feel funny or any less powerful. ive drove 2 other ss/tc and mine feels the same. he even got right next to me and punched it without me doing anything, i just wanted to see the accelaration, it looked too fast to be even a genesis coupe 3.8. ive driven one of those as well.

cobaltssTH

idk theres got to be something. im looking at stock trap times and theyre well into the 15's even for the v6. all years included

BlueStang

Well I think I would not of told that to anyone, sorry but that's just to funny

there was something fishy about the car... do rental companies take salvaged cars? that maybe have a diffrent engine in them?.... lol. i mean really, imagine if you came across say... a toyota yaris on the highway that could keep up with you. i wasnt shocked till i saw the wierd H badge. i thought it was a bmw.

cobaltssTH

i dont know what to think. cuz theres no way that thing beat you stock. that is crazy

Dart_SI

iTrader: (1)

no it didnt beat me. it just took me longer than i thought to beat him. i just looked it up, they have 250hp stock.

and for the ppl who dont read, what i said earlier, he pulled about 3-4 cars on me because he punched it and i wasnt ready at all. (5th gear, cruise control). i would have thought my civic si could have taken one out easy but not so much i think now. the second race he punched it early again (going 80) and i wasnt ready again (he didnt believe in honking i guess but w/e) he initially got a car and a half then i reeled him in and passed him around 100-110 or so. i wasnt paying too much attention to the speed. no he didnt beat me. lol.

something is horrible wrong here, it might just be a guy who is talking **** with some work (Spray/SC/Turbo for gods sake something.....) and he may just tell everyone its a rental. I have a friend from SC who does that in his 06 Impalla, (well with a single turbo setup)

ralliartist

2010 sonata V6's have 249hp and 229tq at the crank stock. With an auto trans I doubt that car is making even 200whp. And factor in that it weighs 3292lbs without driver.

Something is wrong with your ss/tc, OR that guy decided to put a bottle on the rental (which isn't uncommon, I've done it).

What year was the Sonanta? was it the newest one they made? or a really old one

Dart_SI

iTrader: (1)

the sonata was probably bottle fed. a couple guys at work said ppl do that all the time. lol. and as for the year, it was a new one. i wanna say 2009 or so.

DangerZone

are u sure it was a sonata? what about the genesis 4 door? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Genesis

nicksredline
