hey cuz i was wondering who would win... im gettin a 2.4 auto ..and my friend wants to race me in his tiburon...5spd(2.7). who would win? he is a decent driver

joeworkstoohard

you should, stock for stock, but you'll have to fight for it.

Scythe_Snake

He's heavier, and has a little less horsepower than yourself, so you have an edge, but like said, you'll have to fight for it. Unless he has mods, you should win.

G5GT2007

my friend had one it was the GT 6 speed and i would walk him. but i have the 5 speed. there slow and heavy so the 2.4 will take them stock for stock

BACK2GM

Get the 5speed for starters and that should be about it.

joeworkstoohard

he does a small low end grunt advantage, i think... so maybe through 1st the tib will have you... lucky for you, you can't screw up the launch and you're in a faster trapping car.

beamSS

y dont u just get 2.0 for maybe 3k more.

Tib is only 24 pounds heavier. SS 171hp/163tq, GTV6 170hp/181tq. Yeah, 1hp less than the SS, but 18 more pounds of tq make up for that 1hp. I honestly dont see why everyone is so quick to say the SS will win. Very comparable specs, but with him having the manual and a decent driver, and you being auto, I'd have to say Tib will win, stock for stock. Start adding the same bolt-ons to each car, and the Tib will really show it's potential.

now don't let me catch you runnin on the street there guy... remember we bring it to the track... just not atco

05BlackCobaltSS

Was this really necessary? 3k is alot of money BTW.

Anyways, yea, you should take him. It shouldn't be a walk by any means, but as long as you don't somehow screw up the launch, you should take him.

he wants to have an auto.... and the ss/sc's around here have been having some "issues" ,plus I need an NA car to play with anyway

iLLmaTic3s

see thats the thing i dont want o get a ss/sc. ask paul how many of those are broken or being fixed by us. so much moddin and cars go boom. never atco again. thank god my car made it that day...lol. yo paul u gotta get that vid of me from ur friend. i think it should be a good race. we wud both be stock....but get this guys. my friend has the same car but in auto w/ tip tronic...hahaha. with all bolt ons(header,exhuast, intake manifold,CAI) would that car smoke a stock ss/sc? my friend claims the other day he destroyed one..

an0malous

probably gonna be a bit hard to make up 50-60 WHP with I H E and a chip....

but in the end anything can happen on the street.

wasn't mine.... hahah... check out the vids I posted up from this saturday... still trying to get my hands on the ones you ran.... haven't seen the kid in a few weeks.
by the way how is Mike's car doin... I haven't heard from him since I finished his tranny

Scythe_Snake

I dunno bro. I'm still in favor of the SS. We all know that Chevay underrates its vehicles. On Chevy's site it says it has 173 hp and 163 pound feet of torque. It will be a close race. BTW I like Tiburons.

And also we have a person here in the 2.4 who says he walks Tiburons.

joeworkstoohard

i have a 2.4, a tib V6 isn't really a threat. if he beats you bad enough in a stop light gran prix he had to have some work done, simple as that. otherwise, i'd say it's a good/bad luck/skill thing.

but, as said, anything can happen, i got RAPED by a Tc the other night, wasn't anything obvious done to it, but i fouled up my 1-2 shift after a crappy launch... it happens, i don't lose sleep over it.

1SloBowtie

I used to own a Tib 4cyl, which is why I defend it. I spent alot of time on Tib forums when I had mine to know what the 6 is capable of. If I can pull a stock Auto 2.4, Im sure a man V6 Tib can. Most 2.4's I've seen on here that were stock or had I/E were putting down anywhere from 140-152 to the wheels. The V6 Tib stock puts down about 150-155 to the wheels, and just an intake adds 15whp. They're both comparable, he should just run when he gets his 2.4 and let us all know what went down.

bamfnss

heres my dyno sheet from when i had a 03 tib v6 with just intake and exhaust.

nomoreavril

i love tiburons.. thats quite a bit of torque there bamfn.

i also love cobalts..but i would have to say if he's a good driver, and you have an automatic, he'll win. itw ould be different if you got a 5speed..

bamfnss

the v6 comes with a **** load of torque stock. I believe it is around 165 or 170. dont remember anymore.

iLLmaTic3s

yeah it should be interesting..but i def plan on doing some work to the car well at least paul knows. so well see when i get it..it def should be interesting.

celicacobalt

I learned to drive 6 speed on a v6 tiburon and that thing was pretty fast with its intake and exhaust it had so i wouldnt be so sure, you better hope the guy misses a shift or something. ive been trying to race my frineds tib for a while but he never makes it to the track

bamfnss

here's what happens when you try to boost a tiburon

Scythe_Snake

Agreed! :

jeweler54

my best friend has a 05 gtv6 6 speed , intake, exhaust, his best 1/4 was a mid 15 and we have raced from 55 and the 2.4 will walk the tibby by about 1/2 car legnth up to 80 and it gets worse from there, a 4cyl tibby will not even touch a 2.4ss, he was playing with you. a stock gt v6 hp is 140-150 with a 6 speed, 137-144 auto i know, i did the research, there is a dyno right down the page with a 159whp with intake and exhaust, not bad but the weight is an issue, and the 4cly anly dynos at 125=13- at the wheels bud do a search,
cobalts 2.4 are dynoing over 160 whp with just I/E
i do have a video for proof on my run in with my buddys gtv6 tibby, send me a pm and ill email it to you.

race your buddy, it will be close but the 2.4 will pull away
