I was doing my normal ride around the city yesterday and I ran up on a Tiburon Gt that was trying to get through traffic pretty quick. I ended up passing him at a traffic light and gave him a little rev as I passed he looked at me kinda surprised that I would rev at him. I knew he was game though. I went as slow as I could until he caught up. We ended up side by side at light in pole position. Light turned green and we launched. I keep my jeep in second gear while running some one, anyway I immediatley pulled hard off the line and by time I was doing about 75 I was at least 2 or 3 cars ahead. I shut down. I ended up behind him at the next light and we went again. I was getting in the other lane to pass by time I was at 50... Got beside the guy and asked him what year and it was an 05. gave me thumbs up and on my way....I know its not much of a kill but it was fun anyway...

good kill there buddy, what kind of power are u putting down on your jeep?..I was chasing a tiburon today on my way to work but traffic was too heavy

I'm not to sure what I am putting to the wheels. I could speculate and say around 220-230 but I am sure that its wishful thinking. I will be going to the track and getting it dynoed before to long and will be happy to post results. I can say this with the Quadra-trac II I launch like crazy till about 40. You should have no problem pouncing on that Tiburon if you get a chance...

Good kill in the Jeep. I've never had a problem taking out Tiburons.

Nice kill. The 4.7 is a great motor. Do you have the H.O. 4.7-litre engine?

NO, I dont have the H.O. 4.7. I will however have the H.O. motor on my next G.C. I wont want the Overland edition though. I want to find a limited edition with the H.O. the Overland weighs in a couple hundred pounds more than mine... beacause of all the extra steel for offroading...I am looking forward to the day I can run against one with the H.O. to see how well my mods do. I am also on the hunt to line up with a new hemi powered G.C. It should beat me with little effort but with my mods and the weight factor you never know. The new G.C. weighs in at more than 500 pounds than mine...:nono:

I could post a death or a kill almost every time I drive my Jeep. There is no problem finding willing people to race around here... I am always on the look out. Its in my blood...

same here jeep can post a kill usually every day but I only post when I win or lose to cars that a worth running cause I eat so much rice in my area and to and from work its not even funny..they should have a rice kill only thread or ricer death thread..no disrespect ricer(er) lol .. ohhh or a ricer pic of the month thread

ohhh or a ricer pic of the month thread


oh god, please not another one

I've never had a problem taking out Tiburons.

has anyone? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I wouldn't talk because Tiburons are fast.

This is true, at least in Korea where they were originally made, they know how to make their car fast.

Edit : Just in case the torque numbers look off, there's suppose to be a 4 in front of those.

That's impressive. I have a friend that is thinking of doing a turbo 2nd gen tiburon build.

I hear those motors take to boost pretty well, just need to replace the pistons and rods and your set.

Well, that, and the block...and the plastic interior, well, ok, the entire car....but then you're set :lol:

No, just like any other car, with enough money, any car can made to be fast. At the end of the day, it is still a tib. A freaking fast tib, but a tib. :uhoh:

True, it is just another Hyuandai, even thought they are getting better now, but there are definatly better cars out here in the States, its just that in Korea it is a pretty commom car and a lot of them are running with 300 HP, kinda like America and its LS1's, just a matter of POV.

I wouldn't talk because Tiburons are fast.

stock, nay. but yeah with enough money any car can be made fast.

I like sharks expecially turbo ones...yes koreans deffinately knows how to build their cars....and yes at the end of the day it will still be a tib....but what car ever changes at the end of the day anyways...unless its a transformer...

u live in fantasy land eh??? lmao yur jeep beat a tiburon gt ??dont get me started lmao........i have a cavalier that out races gtos and gt stangs lmao hahahha get what im sayin storyteller ,,,,yeah i own a crapalier lol but i know it cant even race an old man on a bike id get smoked hahaha please no more lies!! u people actually believe this shit ??? btw tiburon has a 2.7 liter v6 172 hp stock and curb weight of 2900 and some change!!!!

not only did i beat it i KILLED it!!! check out my stock numbers idiot....tiburon gt is nothing

umkay yeah, i just checked out cherokee times and some of them are in the low 15s?! i believe the tibs are mid 15s but this tib could've been an auto, well nice kill, there is a TT tib around where i live,....

okaaaay buddy yur ride is packin like 230 hp or so and its heavy..yur zero to 60 time is 9.9 seconds the tiburons is mid 7 's so hmmmm let me think yeah ya tell stories yeah ya got mods supposidly even with those so called imaginary mods u still couldnt shave enough time off yur time so me soooo sorrry kung pow tastes so good!!

My 0-60 time is about 10 seconds and ive raced my "friend's" tib gt. I was about 4 car lengths behind him(I was following him) and he floored it so i did too and i caught up to him by about 60 i was 2 lengths back so i let off just in case he hit the brakes. He has the auto that you can shift manually (kinda). I believe you 100% jeepgclwj.

same here, a Tib is no ferrari

vip, am i that friend :)

u live in fantasy land eh??? lmao yur jeep beat a tiburon gt ??dont get me started lmao........i have a cavalier that out races gtos and gt stangs lmao hahahha get what im sayin storyteller ,,,,yeah i own a crapalier lol but i know it cant even race an old man on a bike id get smoked hahaha please no more lies!! u people actually believe this shit ??? btw tiburon has a 2.7 liter v6 172 hp stock and curb weight of 2900 and some change!!!!



well my "slow ass J30" has a 0-60 in the 7's as well and i've spanked a 3rd gen around. Now those 2nd gens (like the one above) is sexy and in my opinion is the most origional looking (as well as all around beautiful) car that i've seen in the last 10 years.

and the remark about your cavi beating gto's and 300+hp mustangs: your funny. even with the FI, you'd have to be running on slicks and nawwwwwwzzzzzzzzzzz to catch up to one, much less beat one. "no more lies!" then stop telling them.

i agree with under ground killa. i dont think u wanna say something more stupid o add ti my sig. btw, my friends jeep with the v8 ran a 14.8 with a k&N intake, straight pipe exhaust,and the back seat taken out. thing launches like crazy with the gas-brake method. i believe jeep 100% only wish i had that run on video that i could comver to computer, not from big vcr tape to computer....

hahah underground u thought i was serious about beating gt stangs and shit ??? it was joke haahhaha u could take off runnig and beat my cavalier to the next block hahahha anyways its all good dont take me to seriously !!!!

well, I guess you will have have your non-believers...I think hes just mad because he is driving cavalier...not that all of them are bad...so if you want go break open your piggy bank and go buy one of those tibby gt and bring your punk a** to Columbus and I will be more than happy to send you crying back to yo momma...peace

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee 235 hp/295 lb.ft. and weighs 3916...thats 16.663 lbs. per hp...

2005 Tiburon GT 172hp/181lb.ft. and weighs 2940...thats 17.093 lbs.per hp...

stock for stock we are about the same BUT, check out the tourqe difference. that is the reason for me killing him, along with my mods...

odogg... i didn't think you were serious, we've had some members in the past be so serious about how their echo can run a turbo at 20psi on stock internals, and people with geo's that they say beat swapped civics...

i think your cavi would beat me walking..... I don't walk. that's why i bought my car. lol

the 6spd manual Tiburon runs a 0-60mph in 7.1
and runs a high 14 with an intake.

Good kill in the Jeep. I've never had a problem taking out Tiburons.
I never had a problem taking out celicas. :)

http://rippmods.com/documents/writeups/Dennis_L_TIB/cimg0736.jpg

I've got a 4cyl model you can race. I've never had a problem with Celica's either. Even one that had a 75 shot of NX.


The 4cyl is proven to hold well over 300hp and tq on stock internals. And it's not like a Honda that produces half the amount of torque as hp. Most of the time it will produce the same amount of TQ as HP.

Here's an example dyno of a stock block Tiburon:

Hey grashoper, is that your car in your sig. or is that car on your wish list....

Hey grashoper, is that your car in your sig. or is that car on your wish list....
'tis my car.

2000 Jeep Cherokee stats:
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/3283/long-term-test-jeep-grand-cherokee-limited-page3.html

The 03+ Tib runs 15.3's stock.

That's over 1/2 a second difference. I'm betting you raced an auto.

If you raced from a roll, then the Tib would put 30mph on you since you're governed at 113mph.

Hey grashoper, is that your car in your sig. or is that car on your wish list....
:screwy:


grashoper would destroy you.

wow, did we just get 3 new members over a jeep beating a tib?

wow, did we just get 3 new members over a jeep beating a tib?

:lol: keen observation

wow, did we just get 3 new members over a jeep beating a tib?


That or someone has serious multiple personality disorder.


So anyway, how about rather than hijacking this thread, or posting worthless stuff like, 'I've never had trouble beating any of your cars'....let's keep it to the Jeep and Tib.

wow, did we just get 3 new members over a jeep beating a tib?
shows you how rediculous it is now, doesnt it?

no not really. It shows me that your joining purely to disagree that it is impossible is rediculous

odogg... i didn't think you were serious, we've had some members in the past be so serious about how their echo can run a turbo at 20psi on stock internals, and people with geo's that they say beat swapped civics...

i think your cavi would beat me walking..... I don't walk. that's why i bought my car. lol


lmao an echo running 20 psi stock hhahah some one said that shit for real??? 7to 8 max on stock internals .... i mean i know i have a piece of shit but damn looks like i need to get me a 3 banger metro lmao !!!

no not really. It shows me that your joining purely to disagree that it is impossible is rediculous

Agreed. You boys better play nice, we don't take kindly to people 'forum bashing' cause you think something is impossible.

Anything is possible on the street, Tiburons are not God's gift to racing... neither is a Jeep. Just two cars, one happened to be faster than the other on that particular day.

Get over it.

Its really funny to me that its so hard to believe that I spanked that Tiburon. I cant say for a fact if it was automatic or not. If I had to guess I would say that it was not the automatic,UNLESS the guy took his foot off the gas pedal to simulate a standard transmission between shifts. My Jeep is by no means some crazy fast racing machine. I dont post bullshit stories. Whats the point. I didnt buy my Jeep to street race either. I can think of alot of cars out there that I could have sunk 28,000 dollars into that would walk all over my Jeep, BUT to all you haters just remember this...My Jeep will go where your cars cant go and there is nothing wrong with trying to get there a little faster....

I would have a good post for all of you if traffic hadnt been all up in our business... I was in the process of getting pulled on by a newer model prelude... I would have loved to see the outcome....

I'm not doubting you, but I firmly believe that you beat an automatic or shiftronic version. Being over half a second faster in the 1/4, the 5 or 6 speed Tib should have pulled no matter how bad of a driver.

Would it be impossible for me to have gained that 1/2 second from my mods. Everyone keeps on looking at stock for stock...did I waste my money by buying these mods that dont help me at all. I dont think so. So the reality is that my Jeep is not stock. I know I dont have any serious shit done but come on we are talking about 2 vehicals that are close by comparison stock for stock... and if what you saing is correct, no matter whos driving a Tibby with a 5 or 6 speed standard they will beat me...whatever man, not everyone is going to drive the same...

With all the street racing you do, have you ever taken it to a track to find out how fast it really is?

Oh I see now, your a Tibby owner. I get it now, as an owner yourself you probably feel a little embarassed that cow of a Jeep beat up on one of your own....dont feel bad it was prolly driver error. only if it was an automatic though. it would have been impossible for me to beat one with the standard...my fault

no I havent. is this a requirement. would it make you feel better if I did.

Why are you getting all defensive?:screwy:

I wasn't attackng you, just trying to rationalize your win. Calm down dude.

no I havent. is this a requirement. would it make you feel better if I did.Actually, it would probably make YOU feel a little better. You're implying that your mods helped you gain this advantage on the Tib. But how do you know your mods are helping you? The only way to tell is to go to the track.

no your wrong, you were attacking if your trying to rationalize someone else's win....

no your wrong, you were attacking if your trying to rationalize someone else's win....No you're wrong!!! Gosh!!!


Forget it. I'm obviously talkign to a 32yo child.:shakehead

When you get to the track, let me know and we'll compare timeslips for a good laugh.

I dont need to be humbled at the track. I am aware that I do not have a race car. The only reason I mentioned my mods is because everyone is comparing stock for stock and you still have ppl that dont believe what happened...If your going to compare vehicals stock for stock keep in mind that I have mods so it cant be compared stock for stock....that is why I brought up my mods. Now as far as my mods helping me, why wouldnt they...was I sold some bullshit off of ebay...No...I bought everything from a reputable person who has sold the same stuff I have to countless other Jeep owners.I guess its possible that all Jeep owners that bolt-on the same stuff I have will loose a little power...not... If the case is that my mods dont help me than its evcen funnier that I killed that Tibby...wouldnt you agree

nother thing thats funny to me...you tell me I am getting all defensive and to calm down and then you go off and call me a child....wow....someone might need a diaper changed....

What I'm trying to say, is that you are "assuming" that your mods gained you over half a second in the 1/4 mile. I'm just wondering why you don't care to confirm this at a track.

again I am not assuming that I gained a half second. I am defending what happened against ppl like you. I am being told that no way stock for stock my Jeep runs with the Tibby. I am saying that I am not stock...Do you understand that....do you get it....If I beat the Tibby off the line and all the way through the race than MAYBE, JUST MAYBE my mods helped me.......DO YOU UNDERSTAND.......or is it possible that your precious little Tibby is over rated...I dont think it is myself...I just think one got beat by a Jeep.....

lol, I'm gonna let you calm down now.:lol:

its not like I posted a kill on a car that cant be beat...its a Tiburon for christ sake....

i thoroughly believe that this thread has run its course....

Turboshark- a .5 second dif is an easy thing to lose if you are not a great driver. Also keep in mind his jeep is modded, how is this some impossible thing to comprehend. Give it up.

Grow up kids.
