Daily Driver Vs. Probe Gt
#1
lol... This was funny.
I'm driving around my '03 Tiburon GTV6 w/ a custom CAI and mufflers, and this guy in a riced out Probe GT revs on me. Needless to say, the Tiburon has a kit but it's tasteful. We catch a light and I think "Ah why not..?" Light turns green and we both go. First and second are pretty strong in the Tibby and I pull him pretty hard up to 4th gear. Hehe. It was fun.
Don't underestimate the Tibs. Stock they're no TT FD or T2, But I have a friend in Plantation that has 385 to the wheels on 13 pounds of boost S/C'd running like it just came off the show room floor.

385 to the front wheels from a standstill is useless. Have you seen the black eclipse around PSL yet it sounds mean and is. It puts close to 400 to the wheels and cannot run faster than 13.4 in a standing 1/4 mile at moroso. He is all wheel spin. That 13.4 was with BF drags radials on it too.
385 at interstate speeds or a 45 mph roll is another story.

Well, the guy who has 385 to the wheels used to work on mopars. Right now, from a roll, the car is sick. At a stop he wheel hops and spins tire dirty style. He's got a few tricks up his sleeve though. When he does the correct suspension modifications, gets the right tires, and gets a few more engine tweaks, he WILL be in the 11's. He promised me... And he's one of the few people who's hp and speed promises I believe. The guy is truly an amazing mechanic.
I know this is the rotary forums... But check out his site. All of his stock was produced by himself, and he has a lot of unlisted items he produced as well.
