Tiburon vs. 3000GT

So which car would be faster in a straight away? a Tiburon GT or a 3000GT SL ?

ima go with the tib
its lighter... and the tib is pretty heavy for its size....
jus imagine how much a 3000gt would weigh

well considering i beat a 3000gt with my stock tib on a straightaway, ill def say the tib. unless he just didnt know how to drive it.

wow, was it a SOHC or a DOHC 3000GT! and I know Tibis are bad ass, My friend has one and it hauls ass!

3000gt= very under powered and over weight
vr4= something totally different

where did a VR-4 come into play?

where did a VR-4 come into play?
im jus makin sure noone confuses the 2.... ive been in convos that people have thought the 2 were teh same...

oh alright, cause I was like "What the hell is he talking about?" LOL

I guess I'd go with the Tib too, but my I4 doesn't pick up as well in the straight as it does in corners so I can't really be sure..

of course everyone is going to go with the tib cause everyone goes with the popular cars. so stop posting so many threads about the 3000gt SL. Imo the SL can take any l of those cars.

you know what i just looked at the stats on the Tiburon and its got 181 hp and weighs 3023 lbs. That is less than 200lbs lighter than the 3kgt and the 3000 has 41 more hp. So i dont think it will be that easy for the TIB to take the 3000gt.

Dude, don't be harsh. If the guy want to post about the 3000GT let em.. Plus if you look at all the people who responded on it......we all drive Tiburons....

lol. Everyone's got a 03 tib. My girl also drives a tib (6speed V6). VERY PEPPY CARS!!!!!! But sorry, they only run 15.3's in the quarter. The 3000GT SL runs 14.9-15.1's so.................

hey savior1974 thanks a lot man. youre always there to defend the 3kgts even though you dont have one. by the way if 3kgts didnt exist i would probably have an eclipse gsx. very nice car you got there!! finally someone to back me up. it seems these days as if everyone and their civics could kick a 3000gts ass.

lol. I only tell the truth. Their saying that a low-mid 15 sec car can beat a high14-low 15 sec car. And well thats not true. BTW The VR4 is my cars big bro. Gotta stick up for em and the other 3000's. But like I said, only the truth from me. (But man I gotta say that the base 3000's were pretty bad though. My Stock V6 automatic mustang with a big subwoofer box use to walk 5speed base 3000gt's out at Ontario street races.)

a 3000gt sl runs low 15's meaning anywhere from 15.4 down to 14.9
also there are othere things that come into play besides hp and weight, i'm gonna say that its more of a drivers race, but i'd lean toward the sl more.

yea 97-99 bases are sad. they only got the looks and that is about it cause they are pretty slow. i believe thats why many people think 3000gts are slow but they dont really know there is the SL.

im goin with the sl as well. i forget who posted it, but they said hyundai was getting sued for claiming 183 hp, when in reality the are only pushin 160

I posted it....... look in the "Most overrated cars forum." Actually my girl is involed because she was pissed about her Tib only having 160 hp. They lied about 20 horses. That kinda sucks. They pulled a mazda (RX8)

yeah really. mazda really lost points for that

Two words.

Drivers Race.


'nuff said.

Im just saying that i beat one, and no it wasnt a vr4. I dont know if it was an SL or not. How can you tell the difference? if you read my whole post i said maybe he didnt know how to drive it. or maybe the car was beat to hell and didnt have anything left. I would have to say its a drivers race as well, because you say the SL is a high 14 to low 15 sec car and the tib is a low to mid 15 sec car. Well that's only like .5 sec and that could come down to reaction time.

it could have also been a baseline model tho too man. the as well only have around 160hp and still 200hp more, so thats prolly what you raced.

coulda been, who knows all i saw was the front of his car in my mirror

well, since I heard stories of people running 160 MPH with a stock tib, I will go with the tib, but I dont know much about the 3000GT sl, and it will be a drivers race to!

i dont even think the tib has that much of a chance anymore, since ive heard hyundai lied about the hp on the tiburons. i thought it had 181 but in reality it only has 163 hp.

i dont think that its all of the tibs that have less hp than they advertised i wouldnt believe that mine only has 163 hp

haha sorry bro only 163 maybe 1 or 2 more horsepower, but sorry man

i dont know? was that in every year??
