on friday i raced an 08 tiburon. raced him three times and beat him all three times. my ss is bone stock and the tiburon had a cai from what i could here. the first two races i beat him by 2 1/2 cars. the third race was the best though. he wanted to go to 140 on the highway, i agreed, 2nd gear 40 mph launch. i didn't have a chance to get to 40 before he started blowing the horn, so i left at 30mph and he had a 1/2 car lead, by the time i got to 115 i was already 5 cars up on him, i threw on the hazards and that was it, no need to go any faster, i already killed him.

 

From what I understand, 2.4's can handle V6 Tibs... so no surprise here.

 

yeah, V6 tiburon and eclipse are easy for the TC

 

This is a race that shouldn't have happened.

I used to destroy SE/GT's in my 2.4

 

Yup, the GT/SE Tibs only have a 2.7L V6 making 171hp.

My ex had a 6-speed SE V6 w/ a Fujita CAI and a Tanabe twin-hyper medallion cat-back, and it was no contest for my 2.4SS, which at the time had my current setup (CA header, XTC 2.5" de-cat dp, ARK N2 cat-back), but I was un-tuned back then.

So an SS/TC should be able to beat a V6 Tiburon no problem considering my 2.4SS has no problem beating them.

 

A win is a win...the Tiburon owner is just dumb for thinking that he can hang with you

 

good win none the less

if some1 wants it handed to them then why not? otherwise they will say hey i bitch this cobalt ss down

 

I laugh at them and let them 'bitch me down'

Who cares? At the end of the day the only thing that will eventually change is your insurance from getting tickets.

 

NIce!!! Have you guys seen the new Tib? that headlight change is ugly as ****! Also, it is pretty sad that there V6 still only produce 172 with 181lb torque. If they would of updated that engine then the Tib would somewhat be noticed. lol, ugly as car.

 

Of Course You Won

 

Yeah Tibs are nothing I destroyed one with my 4cyl Altima from a light before and that only had 150 stock hp and all I had for mods at that time was intake and exhaust.

 

i didn't know the stats on the tiburon, i always thought it was a fast car, guess i was wrong.

 

nothing hyndai has ever made was fast

 

how about that new v8 sedan?

 

" nothing hyndai has ever made was fast" by Rodimus Prime


ok, careful what you say. Hyundai has come a looooooong way from, lets say the mid 90's. Oh God, I personally experienced their cars back then and I can say that there headed in a good direction. Now, as for performance and saying that "Hyundai has never made anything fast, you might want to rethink what you said. Hyundai Genesis ring a bell. Things faster than anything of its class that BMW or Mercedes offers. I think they are heading in a good direction as of right now. Oh, not to mention the Genesis Coupe that actually looks great, has a 4 cycle 223hp turbocharged or the optional 3.8 V6 with 310hp. Really if you look at it, its a copy cat of the G37. Just take that H off the front and place Infiniti and the average joe will not know. Still its going to sell well, cheap with a price tag of 24,000 and 26, 000 for the V6, people will be buying most cause of the looks and warranty, unfortunetly.

 

A ticket isn't worth ANY HYUNDAI

 

your from bpo nice man what color ss u got im over here in monroe

 

lol the tib isn't even 200hp in it's V6 form...........lazy kill

 

yup i beat them with my 2.2

 

this may just be me but it doesnt make sense that the top of the line tiburon is the se isnt that designation for the base model for damn near every other car

 

not true at all, there are a few modded tibs that have put down over 300whp and over 400whp making anywhere from 14second 1/4 miles to 10 second 1/4 miles..........the engine itself can take one hell of a beating if u get the 2.0L, a very strong block compared to the V6 which has a shitty block and if u mod it your looking to replace engine parts before putting down any real power. I had the 2.0L and I bagged the **** outta that thing day in and day out, redline probably 20+ times a day and the engine pulls just as hard today as the first day i got it, well lol, it's modded so of course it pulls harder Either way, the ss/tc is a 10000000000x better car than my Elantra was. SS/TC FTMFW!!!

 

SE stands for "Sport Edition" on the Tiburon.

GT = grand touring.

 

lol and neither were fast in their stock form

 

New Tiburons, while beautifully styled, are slow. 171 hp from a V6 is unacceptable these days... I'm not sure why because they're not overly heavy, about 1300 kilograms like the Cobalt. Probably the reason the Tibby has been axed. Not gonna lie, I'm kind of a fan of them.

 

imperial blue, goin to mcdonalds tommorow maybe ill see you there
