Rrrriiiiggghhttt....what ever helps ya sleep at night. You can buy complete base line turbo or supercharger kits for $1900 for the tibs that will put them right in the same ctegory as Eclipse GST's. And with a little extra money to upgrade the kits, any tib would be right up there in the 350 to 450 horsepower range. An as far as it lasting, HA HA....are you telling me that an Eclipse GST would out last a Tib? Or a Honda with boost would out last a Hyundai? LMAO....whatever dreamer. Every single DSM breaks down due to the glass tranny's, and Honda's would blow up over time with that kind of power under the hood. There has never been a Tib that blew it's crank or cracked it's block or screwed up it's tranny due to having alot of power.
For every modification that you can do to a Honda, or Mitsu, or Acura or whatever, you can do the same exact thing to a Hyundai and the price range will be identical. But the one thing that will set the Hyundai apart is that the engine will last alot longer. The reason why you and so many other people say Hyundai is junk is because of this:
Back in the day when Hyundai got it's reputation for being a POS, it wasn't Hyundai's fault. It was MITSU's fault. Yes, you heard me right. It was Mitsu who was building and designing the engines and tranny's for Hyundai. The engines all blew and sucked donkey balls, and because of Mitsu, Hyundai received a bad rep. Now that Hyundai is designing their own stuff, and has been for the last few years, they have started to out perform other big name car manufacturers out there. So before you start flaming Hyundai or any other type of car at that, do your homework and learn something other that jumping on the "Flame" bandwagon.
