I had mine to 135 2 times, so i know it will go that fast, i bet it would push just a tad bit past 137. Car has no limitation governor on it, so who knows :)

Mmm an acura RSX-S will easily walk and stomp a tiburon in any category. 1/4 mile is 14.9, engine is a beauty compared to the tiburon. The tiburon is in the category of a civic si or a ford focus svt
all the others outperform the tiburon in all categorys.

i wouldnt put it with the rsx-s becuase look at how much cheaper it is.

Well it says competitors.... Meaning with the right "touch" it can be just as fast or faster... :)

the celica would tear up the tib... but the rsx... is crap type s or type garbage... it has no torque...
everyone wants 1/4 mile times and dynos...
race at a 60 mph roll and youll see how mean the tib is...

:) Stock Celica GTS and Stock Tibby... Celica only beats Tibby by 1/10 of a second in the quarter mile.... One slip up on the celica driver and its curtains.. :)

Compare it :) Tiburon even has a quicker top speed....
