I was out looking at cars today, deciding on a graduation present thats coming up in a few months, and stopped by the hyundai stealership



the Gtv6 tibby is pretty nice looking imo, and the interior is nice, but I never got to test drive or anything.



does anyone know much about them? the one I looked at was loaded, leather, power everything, 6 speed, and of course the v6.



anyone? reliability? performance?

RIPP (makes an incredible kit for my 3G, cars are in the high 12s) is making a S/C kit for the car as we speak.

I wouldn't do anything to void the 10 year warranty.

I owned one, and I can safely tell you they are AWESOME cars for the money.



They handle great for a FWD car... They have good torque, and they are great on gas. The only car I would take over my old GTV6 is my FD. For the price, you can't go wrong.



You can get the Alpine supercharger and still keep your warranty...



My friend has one with well over 400 whp (13 lbs of boost on the Alpine S/C, aquacooled, alcohol injection, cams, headers, exhaust, etc.) and it runs like it just came off the show room floor.



The entire bottom end is built for racing. Hyundai finally made a good decision with the new Tiburons.



Great car overall. You can't find another car for that price that offers what the GTV6 does.

venomrx7 06-06-2004 12:19 AM

did your friend build the bottom end, or are you saying that it comes that way??



what are some 1/4 mile times STOCK?



and how much is the alpine sc?

Eyxom 06-06-2004 12:31 AM

My friend is running stock pistons, stock bottom end. The bottom end is race built from the factory.



The alpine supercharger is a roots blower. The aquacooled kit will set you back about 3g's. More boost is as easy as switching the pulleys available from my friend's shop.



stock quarter mile times would be anywhere from a 14.9 - 15.4 pending the driver skill, location, etc.



My friend Tim easily runs an 11 sec 1/4 mile.



Here's a link to his shop for more information on aftermarket parts:

could i order this through someone at wholesale



I have a retail and business liscense.

venomrx7 06-06-2004 12:37 AM

oh, and



thanks for the info.



its either this, a srt4, or a nissan (maxima altima pathfinder exterra)

-=RX-7 KID=- 06-06-2004 01:04 AM

SRT-4 All the way. Fast as ****, the bottom end can hold about 900 poneys. And very easy to upgrade. All the stages can be bought through dodge and will not void the warrenty. Deff kills that tiberon. My buddy in his SRT with only about 200 in ods ran a 13.9 at the track. And now with a little under 1000 in mods hopes to be running a low 13 high 12.
