you act as if when somebody mods a car, they actually go out and perform slalom tests and 60-0 mph braking tests. and you still havent answered my question. where did you get that 13.06 evo time? it wasnt motortrend.com

I have seen plenty of tuner tests in HCI and SSC, try reading somtime. But you won't find what you are looking for because it does not exist. I have yet to hear of a tib with under 4k in mods beat 13.5 in the 1/4 mile. Or in any of the other tests for that matter. But keep trying I am enjoying this.

I did not start this argument, they did. Anyone who calls me out will be pubicly thrashed. So don't join in. Oh and I don't plan on going anywhere untill I am content with the thrashing. If there is one thing that I am not it is an idiot, but you can call me a dick all you want to, if that is what you call sombody that does not put up with people messing with him.

the point is, unless one gropup of peeople get together and test these three cars, we will never know. human error is to great a factor. im finding 14.2 times at caranddriver, and i know the evo is capable of more.

another point,the camaro is a great, fast car, but has reliabilty problems. in your so called test, it would crush the evo. its stock braking is better, and the speed times are even. with the 7k gap between them, it wouldnt be a contest. so lets just keep that outta the contest.

until someone tunes a tiburon and also has access to a camaro and evo, this argument is pointless. ive showed you that in theory the tiburon could beat the evo in straight speed with less money than the total cost of an evo. you choose not to accept theory though, and want facts. well here is a fact. i have not provided proof that a tiburon is better than an evo with equal amounts of money. but nor have you proven to me that the evo is better than the tiburon given equal amounts of money. its just stupid and pointless. another problem is a lot of people who buy a tiburon and tune it, pay other people to do it, so the amount of money involved is negligable.

i dont care what you think, cause it seems that i cannot change your mind no matter what i show you. i have showed you two highly tuned tiburons here in the states. one with a 13.4 and the other a 13.1. i have showed you 600hp tiburons in korea, and an accent that wooped up on a modded evo; things you didnt think could be accomplished. i have showed you a 289whp(more than 300 at the crank) new tiburon that only runs weaker times because he was new at draging. if i have showed you all these things that you didnt think were possible, why cant it be possible that a tib can be better than an evo dollar for dollar?

whatever, im a poor college kid who drives his tiburon because it is cheap and performs/looks good enough for me. the people who buy evos are usually wealthy. most people who buy tiburons do so because they are cheap. only a very select few actually buy one and mod the hell out of it with 9k(the gap between the tiburon and evo). so this argument is pointless, im out.

it might help with your business... :loser:
i dont know what youre trying to prove.. and remember you get what you pay for....
the cars you mentioned.... were all more expensive than the tib....

WOW! that was the longest excuse that I have ever seen on this site. All you had to say is "You were right" or "They just have not built one yet" or you could use the Saints excuse "you just wait untill next year" We all know why you are leaving because you know that I am right and you cannot anwser my challange fine!

tibby01
12-15-2003, 06:40 PM
how about you try to take your own challange. the camaro already beats the evo in braking and is very very close in quarter mile times and 0-60 times. and think about this, sticking a turbo on a v-8 will yeild much much more horsepower than a turbo on a 4cylinder. there is much more air flowing out of an 8 than a 4, so the same sized turbo will stop being a restriction and start producing boost mych earlier. more boost means more power. http://www.prewittracing.com/chevrolet.htm

and your evo is toast for a total cost of 26k.

so do you win the test by default, since no one has dumped 9k in performance mods on a tiburon. even if they did, they wouldnt document every single cost.

and ill ask la pulga how much he has spent total on his accent that ripped the evo a new one.

Jared_80
12-15-2003, 06:51 PM
Hello you still have not anwserd my challange. And as far as your challange goes the Camaro does not respond to turbo boost well in stock form, it would require a full buildup to withstand over 7psi of boost. That is why it is not very popular. Game over you loose, care to try again. Oh yes and the Camaro does NOT beat the Evo in breaking, 0-60, or the 1/4 mile. Quit making that stupid assumption. I have already shown that to be false. I think that it was June 03 MT.

tibby01
12-15-2003, 07:03 PM
you wouldnt need 7psi to beat the evo. maybe 4 and you already got him. the engine makes 310 hp at 14.1(atmospheric pressure) or 1BAR. at 100% efficiency, the engine creates 22hp per psi. granted 100% doesnt exist, but it is usually pretty high. you bump up the pressure the engine is seeing to around 18, and you have your engine producing almost 400hp.

it does beat it in braking, and i never siad it beat the evo in stock 1/4 and 0-60 times.

Uh where do you go to school? Please slap your teachers for me. 1 atm is 14.7 psi at sea leval, secondly 100% volumetric effecency does exist in fact it is very common, some cars get up to 125% VE. It is a very long and technical explanation as to how they do that so I am not going to explain that right now but I recomend that you look that up before you argue with me. Third you are not even counting thermal effecency of your supercharger, or increased air intake temps. (genral rule 10 degrees added temp=minus 1% hp) Please do yourself a favor and actualy learn this stuff before you come here with it. And you still have not anwserd my challange. Try again.

Your edmunds link does not work here how fast did their z-28 stop the Evo did a 60-0 in 106ft. I have never herd of a Camaro doing any better than that.

tibby01
12-15-2003, 07:56 PM
oh god, you really need to look a lot closer at things i post.

i have never heard of a non-boosted engine making more than 100%VE, so please explain it to me(seriously, i want to know how). i know for a fact none of those methods are applied to z28 camaros.

and check my edmund's posts on the previous page for the braking comparisons. i dont care what any other of your tests say. those two tests were done by the same group of people, so those results are the most reliable.

lastly, if you look at that turbo kit page closely, it is a twin air to liquid intercooler setup, which most of the time creates an intercooler efficiency over 100%. so no(or maybe a very little bit) loss in hp due to warmer air.

and fine your right, i cant meet your challange, because no one i know or have heard about has dumped that much money into performance mods for a tib. so you win i guess.

OK here it goes, attaining over 100% VE in an internal combustion engine is done by what some of us call pulse harmonization, basicly the pulse created by the air being suddenly stopped by the closing of the intake valve "bounces" out of the intake runners creating a negative pressure, causing air to rush back in to take it's place causing a "pulse" of higher pressure. This is the same way that a pulse jet engine works. The downside of this is that since it works in relation to the length of the intake runner it only works at it's maxamum effectivness at a very narrow RPM range (this causes your torque to "peak") This is the reason why longer intake runners create higher low end torque and short runners make higher peak hp. This same idea can be applied to an exaust by removing more of the spent gases (hence some exaust runners don't work well at low RPM) If you would like an experement that you could do at home I can explain one to you if you like. And yes I a sure that the Camaro does excede 100% VE at some point in it's RPM band most sports cars do. As far as your 100%+ innercooler goes it only does that while everything is still cool, once things heat up it is not getting a full 100%. Don't feel bad about not being able to find an "Evo killer" tib I could not find one either. I have seen guys spend alot on a tib but they mostly did cosmetic work for car shows. If you have any other questions please ask.

tibby01
12-15-2003, 09:39 PM
thanks for that explanation, but the camaro could still beat the evo with less than 7psi.

Jared_80
12-15-2003, 09:45 PM
No doubt that you are right about that. It would only take about 2psi to beat it in the 1/4 mile but there is a whole lot more to proformance than just the 1/4. Oh by the way Nissan is supposedly making a variable length intake manifold to keep maxamum VE through the entire RPM band that would mean having a constant 100%+VE if it works. (which it should)

Jared_80
12-15-2003, 09:52 PM
Oh but remember that turbocharging a V8 is very tricky. There are a ton of little problems that you would never think of (which I don't have time to list because the computer lab closes in 10 min). It amounts to an expensive proposal, which is why superchargers are more popular on V8s. And superchargers (especaly roots style) have a very low thermal effecency (often less than 50%!!!) And their configural superchargers do not make consistant boost, which means that they have the downside of turbochargers without the free energy. So it is all a tradeoff.

tibby01
12-15-2003, 09:59 PM
yeah, so better 60-0(according to edmunds)
better 1/4 time(with turbo)
better 0-60 time(buy slicks with the extra 2-3k)

thats 3 out of 5 ad the domestic camaro wins

on a side note, that variable intake runner thingy will prolly cost a lot of money to create. but what if they paired that with nissan's version of vtec(im sure they have one, hyundai has there own). that would be a kickass efficient engine.

I do not compare proformance with edmunds because they don't have good test drivers. Try using MT or HCI or some magazine that really drives their cars. Try finging a Camaro test in which they exceded a 13.06 in the 1/4, or a 4.6 0-60. Besides adding slicks does not keep the Camaro street legal which is part of the challenge that I proposed to you. And that turbo instolation will cost more than the difference between the two cars anyway, please look again at your site and note that instalation is not included in that price nor is the turbo heads that you are supposed to install. You loose try again.

If you don't like the way the Hyundai makes the car....here's an IDEA just don't DRIVE one.

I just started by saying that the tib nedded better proformance and all the sudden everybody jumps on me (you guys are really insecure about your car) Nowhere else did people attack me like you did when I critisized your car, so now I will anwser your insults by showing you who really knows what they are talking about, and who does not.

Jared_80
12-16-2003, 01:10 PM
It will be a draw when I get an apology. Then I can leave on even terms having said me peace. But just because I stoped saying otherwise does not make the tib a proformance car. And If you insist that I re-phrase it "I want more" there happy? I would buy a tib if they could match the evo for less money too but as of right now they cannot.

Jared, this may be a new concept for you, but people say shit. Sometimes it's shit we don't like. In your case I guess it's this whole thread here. You should just learn that people don't have to aplogize and you should be able understand that some people maybe don't want/care/give a damn on what you have to say on the matter. (Another key hint, asking for an aplogy and then calling someone else a dog is not a way to get one) lol

Dang that was your most un-intelligent response yet! Do you really consider that a response? Where do you go to school and what grade are you in?

No I do more than just insult (remember that I did not start this cycle) I make factual statements and back them up with numbers, and creditable sources, unlike someone else who keeps writing.

But I think that Nisco brings up a good point. Look where you are posting this topic, a Tiburon forum. Of course the drivers are going to defend thier cars. You call them weak, they get upset. Then you talk about your technical knowledge and start comparing untuned Tibs to cars outside of the Tiburons MSRP range. You may have alot of tech knowledge, but this board may not be the place to show it off. A technical board something along those lines might suit you better.

Personally I stopped caring when people started comparing 20g cars to cars that can go 90g plus...it just wasn't about Tibs anymore. It was just a Jared Pride Session

How is comparing a v6 tib to an SRT-4 unfair??? they cost almost exactly the same? And I was not camparing any of those cars to the tib you are taking my words out of context! Go back and read what I said.

talk about taking words out of context. I said "people" not "you". Other PEOPLE were doing it too. This isn't like "we" want more meaning "I" want more

and about you not starting this cycle. You can be the one to end it by just bring up your options (which could be valid) on another more approriate forum.

It's like the fireman looking over at the fire and saying. "I didn't start the fire so I'm not going to put it out"

Well other peolpe can judge how they like but I keep things in prespective very well, I am sorry for jumping on you like that but I have had nearly this entire site jump on me accusing me of comparing the NSX to the tib. Which makes no freeking sence whatsoever.

Jared_80
12-16-2003, 02:15 PM
I think that the best way to end the argument is for me to just keep stumping poor nisco and his kind, untill they don't come back anymore. Then I don't need an apology, because they are gone. I would actualy enjoy having somone who can really defend this car because then I could learn somthing myself. That is the only reason I continue to argue.

ColeIketani
12-16-2003, 02:17 PM
well I'm glad we can agree on that point lol. I got confused a bit when that happen. And no problem about the jumping part. As a Tib owner, I have great pride in my car, but I have nothing against you. I just wanted to understand the point what was going on without us just yelling"you're stupid" back and forth lol

ColeIketani
12-16-2003, 02:18 PM
Alright then I guess I'll try and defend my car

But first I need to hear your arguement straight out

Jared_80
12-16-2003, 02:20 PM
Please note that I have never said that the tib was a bad car, or a piece of junk. My one and only critisizm is that it is not the "proformance" car (by my standards) that the company paints it to be. I actualy kind of like the car all proformance issues aside.

Jared_80
12-16-2003, 02:26 PM
Ok my challenge is simple and streight forward. Is the Tib a better proformance car for the cost than the Camaro z28 (the American standard cheap fast car) which costs 22k and postes some very impressive numbers. The chalenge is to find a tib with less than 22k in it that can beat a Z28 in three of five events (0-60, 60-0, slolom, 1/4 mile, and skidpad) All cars must be street legal, and have most of their interior. Basicly it must be a daily driver like the Camaro. Please no NOS over 50hp because beyond that they just destroy small engines.

ColeIketani

well I think that the overall preformance of the car is fine. The nice thing I like about the car is although it is a front wheel drive car, the weight is nicely balanced. Especailly for mountain touge driving. The car weight balance is 63/37, which makes the car a great handler on curves and on the downhill. It's the car's inertia that gives it greater speed on passes like that. Partly I do wish that the HP numbers on the Tib could have been a little higher, at least 150 for the base and 190 for the V6, but what I thought as a handicap when I first had the car, I used to find the car's strength. I'm not one for Car and Driver numbers to tell me if the car is good or not. I really like to drive the car in different conditions and see how it fits me, how it feels and responds to me because after a while you find out how to make people you pass say. "Damn, I just got smoked by a Hyundai" lol

now for your question are we talking about the stock models or the tuned models?

Jared_80
12-16-2003, 02:31 PM
Most import car makers are making their v6s with around 240 hp so I see a 170hp v6 as unused potential.

Jared_80
12-16-2003, 02:34 PM
Tuned tib vs. stock z28. Anything can be done to the tib as long as it does not bring the total cost above 22k (the price of the Camaro)
