Your the Joke

There has been a lot of mix reviews about the new tibbys. I speak for the new tiburons because I own one. I have no complains with the tiburons. Oh wait, 1st of all I use to own an 98 integra(modded), then moved on to the 2000 celica gts. I liked my CELI, I didn't have much complains about it. When the new Tiburons came out it caught my eye. It looks great. It looked more masculan than a celica. I test drove the Tibby with no expectations and as soon as I started the ignition I was impress. The car has torque and a nice small v6 sound. It turns great, better than my former Celi... To make things short, test drive one and compare it to it's competitors and you'll know what I am talking about.
Once I broke 3k miles on it I took it to the track here in San Diego. It wasn't a full 1/4. It was 1/8. My first 3runs were sloppy cause my reaction wasn't there so I was doing10.2's and .3's. on my fourth run to the seventh run I was hitting 9.8's and 9.9's. I was very happy with that considering it is stock.
I picked my races on the freeway against the new eclipse and rsx. Killed all. I've pick my races with wrx sti and of course I got killed. I've raced 2 wrx's already and it was both great races. I've be beating them all the way to id third gear and they'd pass me(of course their charger would kicks in).
Over all it's a GREAT car, nice lookin too. It's a great car for the bucks. I can't wait in a few months to mod with super charger. I can't wait for those wrx drivers faces when I am in front of them the whole time!!!!!
So you all can talk trash about the new tiburon but I am one guy to prove anyone wrong about it. They bang for the bucks is great. If you put as much money as you would put in a WRX or EVO's, The Tiburons would be killin.
FYI, The Tiburons have been champions on RALLY's, beating WRX and the EVO'S. That's the reason why I went to the hyundai dealer, I wanted to see the hype. I don't regret trading in my Celica GTS at all.
