I absolutely destroyed a V6 Cougar on the way home to lunch today from a 2nd gear roll from a light. It was some girl driving who gunned it a couple times then dropped back.. on the 3rd time I shot forward with her, caught up, and saw headlights in my mirror. I got up to about 70 or so in a 45, just enough to pop into third gear for a second, and shut it down. She goes flying by me honking her horn and waving like a stupid little girl..

Same goes for the new tiburons. I saw one recklessly dodging through traffic like Speed Racer(not the guy on here asking about 3000 diff. types of cars) and wanted to have a little fun with him, but I didnt feel like running redlights and cutting people off just to catch up. My time will come.

It's a good thing I don't have a "GIRL RACER" in my town otherwise I'd go crazy myself.

I don't know much about the engine in those cars. But, from what I've seen, they don't pack much of a punch.

honestly a race w/ the tib, it'd be close for ur gsr. a buddy of mine w/ a celica gt-s (ran 14.9 at the track) only pulled a car on one, so it'd be a GOOD race for the gsr.

good kill buddy...a win is a win.

tsugsr: I just find your name funny...I wouldn't have been surprised if you said that you have a Classic Sentra SE-R like me, as it is called the Tsuru GSR in Mexico.

Anyhow, back to topic...

...here's a side-by-side of the Tiburon GT and the RSX-S: http://www.car-videos.com/performance/view.asp?ID1=206&ID2=5

If you feel your GS-R is as fast as stock RSX-S, then you'll be fine against a stock Tibby GT. Against a modded one, however, it's up to whoever spent more money.

Although you might wanna know that basic bolt-ons have been known to add up to 30whp on the V6 Tibbys, and that the same publications that rate the Tibby at 15.5, rated your GS-R at 15.7 stock.

Oh, before I forget, the V6 Tibby only has 170HP, not 200, but has 177ft-lbs of TQ, with an over-all curb-weight of 3023lbs.

americans (aka domestic car makers) wont settle for high revs...period. they just want a ton of torque (or 'prestige' ...acura...lexus). then honda builds a higher torqued car (prelude) and no one wants it...i dont know what the hell got me going on this but americans are f-in stupid.

i knew you were messing and i was just messing when i said that americans were stupid...my main point is what krnxracer said...it just seems to me sometimes that imports and domestics are both going in two entirely different directions with their focus...
