We want more!

hmm, well personally I'm not sure if I have the information to help you with the information at the time. I will do some searching, but untill that time, someone else could field this question.

But one thing I do know is that the V6s potential tops out about 250hp.

Yea I have seen those supercharger kits too. But remember that we are talking about a 310hp Camaro. I know that there is a 400lbs weight difference but the Camaro is RWD (which is better for racing) and has wider tires. They say that those SC kits cost about 2500 which is not bad but you would still be at a disadvantage with hp and traction with only 1500 left to spend. New wider tires and wheels would take up the rest of your money quickly.

well, I have this belief on racing FWD cars.
Although they are easier to create understeer, they are easier to kill the understeer too than the RWD cars, which can produce oversteer a lot faster. Plus I think you have to push FWD cars differently than RWD because of the weight distrubustion (spelling) 50/50 vs 60/40, 70/30 etc etc. But everyone knows that anyway lol

ok, well I have some work to do, but I SHALL RETURN lol

the v6 tiburon only puts out 170? sorry but i do have to agree with jared... lol and all this time i thought it put out 200 at least... :icon16: sorry but i dont see how your going to get it faster than the camero... and for the "inertia" thing.. also realize that inertia is the amount of force it takes to stop and push the object... so the more inertia it has, the slower it will get off the line and also the worse it will do at the 60-0

First off let me say that I love the look of the Tiburon, but the proformance sucks. What are you guys at Hyundai thinking? Why is your 6 cylinder so slow? What happend to that mid engine concept that everybody loved? The messure for any proformance import is if it can beat a Mustang GT or the Z28 Camaro in the 1/4 mile and through the cones, if it cannot do that leave it home. It just becomes a plaything for posers that make a joke of real import tuners. Does anybody agree with me??

i dont know about you, but those are fighten' words wheres i comes from.

and HOLY SHIT, where the hell did all these posts come from? lol!!!

Jared, youre a smart guy, and you seem like you know your shit about cars. but dont say you didnt learn anything, cause i know you were suprised as shit from all the tibs and the accent i posted. that accent is his daily driver too.

cole, dont even try it, there arent firm numbers anywhere on the net cause not even motor trend has numbers for the z28, i looked when trying to compare it to the evo. the only place i could find was edmunds, but they arent accurate i guess. if anyone wants to give me 11k, then i will be glad to take this challenge, i only paid 11k for my tib.

I'm not talking about from a complete stop or drag racing "Ghetto". I'm talking about taking the car on mountain roads(since we have some near my area) were the distubution of the weight carries it down the hill much faster, plus the added power from the engine

Ok...just been skimming this thread. Why are you guys throwin your warranty around? WTF is that? I just got back from the dealer and he told me a K&N would VOID my warr. You cant throw on a turbo and blow the car up, then just take it off and Warr. it. I was a service advisor...we looked for anything to void warranties. Also....why are you comparing this car to V8 musscle cars and AWD turbo cars. For gods sake....the V6 supercharged only puts down 225hp according to hyundiaperformance.com. Just my 2 cents.

By government regulation no car warranty can be voided by adding anything to it. Unless the added or changed part directly contributes to a problem. *Example* I add a LSD to my Tiburon and my transmission drops. This can be directly linked and void my warranty. If I add a LSD to my Tiburon and a head gasket blows the warranty cannot be voided.

My 2 cents :)

The Magnuson-Moss Act


Protecting tweakers, tuners and other users of aftermarket equipment. FANNING FEARS. You want to upgreat your vehicle with aftermarket equipment nut your worried about putting your vehicles warranty at risk.its no wonder. How many times you’ve heard someone of a dealership say that installing aftermarket parts automatically voids the warranty? This common misconception has been repeated often enough to be widely believed – though it is completely false.

FACT: Dealers don’t like warranty work , because it pays less than normal repair work. By promoting the myth that aftermarket equipment automatically voids warranties, some dealers avoid such low-paying work. Instead they attempt to charge customers the prime service rate work which is rightfully done under warranty.

THE TRUTH

Most vehicle owners are not aware they are protected by federal law: the Magnuson-Moss Warranty- Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act of 1975. Under the Magnuson-Moss Act aftermarket equipment which improves performance doesn’t void a vehicles manufacturers warranty, unless the warranty clearly and conspicously states that aftermarket equipment voids the warranty. Most states have warranty statues , as well . which provide further protection for vehicle owners.

VEHICLE DEALERS OBLIGATION

Suppose your modified vehicle needs repairs while still under warranty. Without analyzing the true case of the problem the dealer attempts to deny warranty coverage. He made his decision simply based on the fact that you’ve installed aftermarket equipment- a covenient way to dodge low-paying warranty work.

FACT: A dealer most prove –not just say- the aftermarket equipment caused the need for the repair before he can deny warranty coverage on that basis.

YOUR RIGHTS

Point out to the dealer the provision of the the Magnuson-Moss Act require that he explains to you how the aftermarket equipment caused the problem. If he cant or his explanation sounds questionable it is your legal right to demand he comply with the warranty.


there are always dealers that will try to get around this to save money, but if there are ever any problems, write to the regional manager and they will be taken care of.

Here is your 2002 Z28 Stats Jared.. Why is it so hard to find???? I found it easily.. It's a quick car but still slow to be a V-8

i dont know about you, but those are fighten' words wheres i comes from.

and HOLY SHIT, where the hell did all these posts come from? lol!!!

I sure did learn quie a bit from arguing with yall. And yea some of those tibs were fast especaly that accent, what the heck did they do to that thing??. As far as those "fighting words" I had just looked up the stats for the tib in high hopes that it would top the Zs lousy proformance, and I was in shock at at the time. I figured that with a V6 and all it would rock, at leased top the Eclipse. Oh well maby by next year they will figure it out and give us a few more ponies.

It did top the Eclipse.

It comes very close to the GT but does not touch the GS-t or the GSX.

30 More HP in the Eclipse GT 24 more lb of foot torque in the Eclipse GT and they run equal. Looks like the Tib done pretty good. Wheel base and overall width of the Tiburon is bigger. 3000 dollars more base price on the Eclipse and runs equal with the Tiburon. 3000 more and has a lower top speed than the Tiburon. Why for 3000 more Leather is not standard in the Eclipse GT. 3000 less leather is standard in the GT Tiburon.

I think id go with the Tiburon!!

I would agree with you on the GT but the GSX is still much faster. Unfortunetly the GSX in no longer in production.

yeah, mitsu is being a bunch of bitches by shying away from their turbo'ing days and just going for more displacement.

Apparently tho is that the Tiburons are getting turbo/supercharger kits etc in April.
