Ok then... Give me the link to where i can see the 'almighty' Tib beating the Z06. I seriously have to see that shit because the Z06 was built with performance in mind, while the Tib was made for... I dont even know why the fuck it was made. Its a POS

Alright PowerCrazy, set me straight here.... What the fuck does your friend have to put him in the 415hp range and then jumping to 615hp on NAAAWWWSSS? What does he run? Mods? Cause im calling bullshit on that too!
Dont get me wrong... money sure buys speed... but that alone wont make me think your friend has that.

alright, this is what i know he has, i think he may have done some work since this...... throttle body, cold air intake, k&n filter, custom headers and exhaust system, upgraded pistons, turbo charger, computer chip, ignition system, upgraded camshaft, intercooler, and upgraded manifolds. I think soon he's gonna change it to a twin turbo which I think ITS turbo is coming out with. The nitrous is a 200hp shot from a NOS big shot two stage. Along with all this the body has been extensivly lightened, and like i said, most of the stuff is custom because of lack of real quality aftermarket parts for the new tibs. He has connections in some of the companies that make certain parts and he gets stuff custom fabricated. And the last I knew he had it just over 400hp, but that was also before some more little tweaks he did with the timing and all that so it might be higher but only maybe 5-10 more, not much at all. But that's that, and im sure if you live in the area he'd be more than happy to show you the car and then the rear end as he hauls ass away from you if you'd like.

The Tiburon is just another ricer crap car. Just like the Civic. Tib owners, don't you think its time to get a real car? instead of being the laughing stock of the sport driving community? Using a front drive car for drag racing...stupid.

okay, first off you drive a 1990 ford taurus..... you have no room to talk, but secondly when you can't go and buy a $58,000 corvette or a $30,000 mustang you have to go to the sport compact scene for a fast car, and the new tiburon is the new kid on the block that is predicted and is already killing the compitition.

smart response man, in reality I find the Tiburon really refreshing, and stylish.

Check it out .USA Today: Hyundai ties Honda for #2 in reliability and quality
JD Powers rates INTITIAL quality - "Did it break as you pulled it off the dealers lot?" Check the "love affair" after a few thousand miles!!

I will say one thing about honda OWNERS (i hope i haven't offended any of them)......they do lose gracefully.
OK, you're either lying or you are the worst driver EVER! My Camaro runs 11.45 @ 125 in the quarter. It weights 3400 pounds, makes 520 hp, has a Corvette IRS in back and a T-56 manual. I have very little traction for the first 100' and only pull 125. You run roughly 20 hp more, an automatic, 700 less pounds, and only run 12.86?!


Let's look at one other aspect.... K&N and 2 other speed shops are sponsoring this? Who's leg are you trying to hump?
