I have a 2.4L sedan balt, and im racing my friends v6 tiburon this weekend, i know the v6's have 172 hp (i believe, not 100% sure)

Think I can win? Stock for Stock? Just want some forecasts from you guys so I have somewhat of an expectation

 

doubt it.. ive got a 2.4... one my boys used to have a v6 6spd tib **** was quick!! a good amou nt quicker then my car

 

I thought the 2.4 had 170++ hp for the cobalt i roasted tibs with my 95 probe gt... And they are rated at 163 crank hp. But i did have i/h/e

 

It should be a drivers race IMO. Both cars have just about the same amount of horsepower.

 

Well, Stock for Stock wise, our 2.4L are 171 hp, and his v6 is 172hp~ I have exhaust (which really shouldnt change the outcome of this race) , so i unno, i thought it would be a close race, any other guesses? I can prolly beat it 100% soon as i get my intake and tune~

 

an 04 v6 tiburon is a mid 15 second car if driven right, the 2.4 litre is a mid to low 15 second car if its a 5 speed. A stock auto 2.4 balt is a high 15 to low 16 second car stock.

 

Have any of you actually ever driven a tibby? I test drove an 07 V6 and it was slower than dog ***** with the tiptronic auto. My 08 has 173 from factory. Ik you have a 4-door but i'm going to say you should be able to win, it could be a drivers race

 

i looked up specs and what other people have ran, took me 30 seconds to find some specs, they are a mid 15 second car if its a standard.

They only weight slightly more then our car, have the same HP but have more torque so yes it will be a close race

 

i dunno i didnt think they were very fast. i remember driving with one on the highway and it wasnt all that much faster than mine actually. but hey who knows.

 

My old car used to eat tibbies for lunch.

 

they're quick enough, but i don't fear them unless they're boosted.

 

boosted they are quick..this shud b a drivers race...

 

Stock for stock the 2.4L is a slightly faster car. It's pretty pathetic really since the Tib is a V6, albeit a small one. I would expect a V6 car to have at least 200 hp, so it's pretty lame on Hyundai's part.

 

tibbys fail at v6. one of the slowest v6 cars ever.

 

My dad's 1st car was a Plymouth duster with a 3.5L V6 that had 140HP, but that was back in the 70's. The new Ford Escape has a 3.0L V6 with 170 something HP.

 

When I bought my 06' Cobalt SS/SC I test drove an 07' Tiburon GT with the v6, rated at 172 HP. It was really slow to say the least. I test drove a Sonota just for the hell of it and it was way faster then the Tiburon. There family sedan is much faster then there "sports car".

 

Stock, yes.

 

i beat a v6 with my 2.2, any good driver should win
tiburon's are the fastest looking slow car ever...

 

They do look awesome though.

A nice supercharger makes the V6's shine though...shoulda came that way stock

 

I buried a tibby the other day with my wifes 08 malibu V6. It was stoplight to stoplight for atleast a 1/4 mile and i never saw him lol. They aren't very quick stock imho.

 

Alright thanks guys, should race him within the week, will let you know the results and video if possible
