got rev'd on by a Tiburon


Recommended Posts

I'm actually a fan of the Tiburon. It's one of the best affordable coupes out there, and a pretty good effort from Hyundai (who I think is the next up-and-commer in the auto market). WWD though...

I had an 04 GT fully loaded minus the 6th gear. I loved it! It was at the time the quickest car I had ever bought. I had only one minor problem with it... 2nd gear was slipping.... my fault though...

 

14,500 miles and I traded it in for a turbo Mazda Protege.

 

I would love to buy a used one with like 60k, gut it, supercharge it and track it all day long:cool:

You do know there are plenty of 12-sec Tiburons out there, right? There are supercharger and turbo kits, with the blower package being the most popular. Of course most of 'em are 180hp but when you run into one that traps 110+ mph, he'll be doing the laughing then!

 

I stay current on a lot of cars...

 

How much is forced induction on these cars? 3-4 grand? How are the stock internals, can they hold much boost?

<pretends for a second to wait for the day a noteworthy portion of 55K$-bmw-borrowers will consider that going to 450/455 with "one quick mod" is prudent.

<scolds self, knowing no man (or warplane) has ever had a point with a bimmerphile.

 

So... how 'bout that Tiburon!?
