I've seen this new hyundai tiburon in my parking lot at work. It looks way better than the previous body style, but I was wondering if the performance lived up to it's looks. I wouldn't mind having it. Any opinions?
|
v6 with a heavy korean ass.
|
Its got about 180 hp and a 6 speed. Not slow, but not a real sports car.
|
that **** is slow, i beat one with my chevy malibu. car is way too heavy
|
I hear they're very low-revving engines. Well, it's not that the redline is low, but they don't make much more power as the revs climb. It's a very anti-sports car engine.
|
The engine may be a little ho-hum but the handling is exceptional, evo magazine (UK) rates it as their pick of the small coupe class, and that's saying something.

out of 10 cars (i think) under 20,000 it was rated like 4 or 5 i think. the body is just horrible. cant stand the lines of it. has a huge rear end. actually now that i look at this pic i think it looks like a confused mustang for ricers to fix up

Looks wise compared to the 7.. humm.. it doesn't even touch the FD imo. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

you gotta admit, it does look way better than the other tiburon...which looked a fin shy of swimming...if I had one, I probably would've drove it right into the ocean, then drowned with a puzzled look on my face https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

Oh dear here we go again . . .

What an ingenious statement. Let's try and find all of the differences between a "sporty coupe" and a sports car, besides looks and $10K. |
nothing comes close to the fd when the fd fitst came out. even right now when someone see's an fd they ask if its a 2002 or 2003
|
yeah i saw a new tibburon on the raod yesterday on the way to work,the poor guy treid to race a trans am ws6....the guy in the hyundai looked reeally crushed that even with all of his stickers and rims and huge spoiler he still couldnt beat ws6 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/moon.gif

nah.. vw gti... 1.8t... my 90gtu is out of commisision becuase i ran into a curb lol. im in the process of saving up money to fix it
|
yeah, curbs always end up where they dont need to be, man that sucks, i hate seein anyone lose a 7, especially to a curve, hope you get it up and running soon man :bigthumg:
|
yeah me too.. problem is my font tire it a really weird angle right now... probly needs suspension work. and my entire exhaust (turbo back) was ripped off. so eventually it will be reborn with high flow cats, catback and som new suspension components. until then my brand new gti 1.8t (180 hp) will have to suffice. turbo power is nice but front wheel drive is weird
|
i used to want a volkswagon golf gti, then i realized,that, even if i do throw in some mods, it still wouldnt be as fast as a mildly modded t11 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png
