I got marauded.
Last night I went to Sonic to get a Route 44 Grape Slush, git 'r done, and I noticed this pretty nice looking silver Hyundai Tiburon GTV6. It had a carbon fiber front lip, nice looking aftermarket taillights, black 7 spoke wheels with a polished lip, and it appeared to be on some aftermarket suspension, judging from the stance. Upon further inspection, I noticed an exhaust and a small AEM sticker on the window. Well the guy sees me checking out my car and comes up to me and asks if I'm turbo. I tell him "No, unfortunately" and he asks if I want to run 'em. I say "Sure, just let me get my slush." Well, my order comes up and I pay the nice girl $1.72 and start up my car. I tell him to follow me to my spot. So he does. I pull out and drive to the spot. Once we get there I signal him to get beside me. He gets to my right and we're both doing 45mph. I get ready to drop into 2nd, thinking, "This'll be interesting", and as I get into 2nd and lay on it, I hear the sweetest sounding V6 ever as he immediately jumps past me. He hits 3rd and opens up a gap of about 1-1 1/2 cars on me before I can even top 2nd! Wow! So we turn around and we line up at about 25mph. I'm in 1st gear, as is he, and he signals. I go and pull a half car by the top of 1st. I hit 2nd and for a second I stay ahead. But I hear him coming hard. He hits 3rd and pulls ahead of me. Then he hits 4th at about the time I hit 3rd. I let off at 85 beacause we're coming back into town and he's a good car or two ahead. Wow. I got beat by a Hyundai! I'm not sure what he has done to it, but damn is it quick, well, compared to my N/A FC. I'll ask him next time I see him. He's a pretty cool guy and knows his stuff. He supposedly has a pretty bad turbo Del Sol. Well, later.

To answer all three of you, BEATS THE HELL OUTTA ME! I'm just as confused as everyone else. I can eat up a stock Tib GTV6 all day, but this one was different.
|
Supercharged or spraying?
|
they DO make superchargers for those. Turbo kits too for the base model 2.0L.
|
obvsiously had a power adder of some sort..
nice death :bigthumb: |
gotta admit, Hyundai as a car maker has come a long long long way.
I remember those Hyundai excel's with 20 horsepower. |

nicest v6 ever? I guess youve never been inside an MX6...
|
^Yeah I have, and I've heard a few of the MX-6 V6's with exhausts, but this sounded way better.

drop the slush next time. the extra weight is probably what slowed you down

Howd you hold your drink? Do you got a cupholder?

Tib's are slow, but do sound awesome, add a power adder in there and it becomes a good car all of a sudden. - Tech |
