We want more!

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??

the whole import scene is that you tune a car....
you add things to it...
domestics have never been in that alley... domestic car cos.... try and make their cars as good aspossible...
imports aremade to be upgraded.... you want performance.. put money in your car.....
and teh mustang gt and camaro... are way outa the price range of he tib.. so you have no clue what youre arguing abotu anf know nothing of the tib or anything to do with cars it looks like.... so dotn make stupid arguemnts.... and dont try and act liek you know what youre talking abotu cause you jus proved to everyone tyou dont... so if you wanna learn ask questions.. if not.. dont post here.. cause if youre lookingto start a fight... youll lose... horribly

Re: We want more!

TibsBeatALL and Nisco are completely right.

Jared, what the hell are you thinking coming onto a forum FULL of people who own the car and bitching about it? I mean seriously.

My Two Cents

That makes you a and REALLY . BAD IDEA

The reason we buy true imports like the Tiburon is so later we can add mods and compoents for it. Seriously, what the hell are you thinking? Comparing the Z28 and the Stang to it? That's is just stupid.... Have you ever driven a Tib?....

god im tired of these morons...

first off, if you dont like the car, why waste your time typing?
its prolly cause you have no life, and just sit on the internet jerking off to pictures of mustangs and camaros, loser

second off,

msrp of 03 v6 tibby= 19149
1/4 mile time= 15.3

msrp of 02 stang= 23220
1/4 mile time= 15.1

msrp of 02 z28= 22830
1/4 mile time = 13.3

and the tib would crush both on the track. with the 4000 dollars you save, you could buy a turbo and other things and blow the doors off the both cars in the 1/4 mile.

also, none of use our at or from hyundai. we are just owners, we dont have anything to do with what hyundai does.

Wow I thought that my spelling was bad! First off the Camaro is not way out of that price range. The 6 cylinder is about the same and the late model Z28 base price was only 22k new. As for me not knowing anything about cars please come and debate me on the technical forum. I will show you who does not know what they are talking about. I have been studying for three years trying to learn everything there is to know about cars so that I can open my own buisness.

OK yall think that I am just complaining about nothing. Fine then prove me wrong! Who here has the fastest Tiburon? Can you beat an Evo? Surely someone here has a 6 cylinder that can beat that turbo 4 right? 13.06 in the 1/4 mile 0-60 in 4.3-4.6 secoonds depending on the year model. I would venture to say that 99% of Tiburons are nothing more than posers and anyone who actualy made a true speed machine out of it could have done it much easier/cheaper with another car. The fastest Tiburon that I have ever seen had a mere 250hp, and even that car could not match up to an Evo. So before you attack me listen to what I am saying and look it up for yourselves. Hyundai needs to give us somthing with real proformance potential. Oh and that Mustang 1/4 mile time that you quoted is the 6 cylinder not the GT.

youre an idiot.. you knwo absolutely nothin of teh korean or american import tuner scene....
everyone knows that forced injection will beat a v6... i dont know what youre trying to prove?
99% of tibs are posers?.. what the fuck are you talking about?... do oyu have a reason for makin posts iin here or are you another tool trying to start shit against tiburon owners?... the fatsest tib... is in korea... pushing 3 times as much as that... and the tib you saw musta been a v6 with a super charger...
and evos and wrxs and srt-4s arent anythign special... peopel keep talkin 1/4 mile times and traps and 0-60
its a known fact the tib can beat any of those cars at 75+ mph... if youre gonna race make it worth it even a tib can beat an s 2000 in the 1/8
youve been studying cars for 3 years.. congrat iim happy for you... ... but know what youre talking about... you apparently dont know anything about korean cars... and korean cars are different from japanese cars and THE CARS YOU COMPARE TO THE TIB ARE DOMESTICS...
not even in teh same class....
the evo/ wrx/srt-4... are all forced induction... TURBO'D and the tib isnt.. unless you do it aftermarketly.... we dont need another wanna be know it all dick on these boards....
and you dont know jack about imports.... stick with your domestics

im sick and tired of fucking morons that think they know everything. ya got more to learn pal.

the website i was getting the info off of said it was the gt...oh well.

over 250hp...no problem
http://hyundaiperformance.com/forums/topic.php?t=37042

you want high hp tibs... check this out. those are on stock blocks too. one is even on a stock tranny.
http://hyundaiperformance.com/forums/topic.php?t=25379

and what about the 600+ twin engine tib. 10 second 1/4 mile times on stock wheels and tires.
http://www.ecanfix.com/~hyperform/ma...ouron_clip.mov

another thing you dont know, is that the i4 beta engine is better than the v6 delta engine in the tib when running high hp loads. looks like someone needs some more studying if you think a v6 is automatically better than a i4 engine.

the main thing you dont know though, is that hyundais are bought by most because they are cheap and efficient economy cars... so people that buy them generally dont have the money to tune them to there potential. poeple in korea however, have found the potential and it is very high. its only a matter of time before you see more tibs in the states with killer hp.

Re: We want more!

what is the point of Jared's posts? If it's to prove that he's a moron that likes to bitch about stuff. Mission Sucess. I mean seriously from a person who doesn't seem to own a Tib, to say that 99% are posers seems pretty uninformed and stupid

Also I'm guessing that "We" means "you, the idiot"

I am not the idiot here all I said was that these things needed more power because the don't match up to their compatition, and that is a fact that is not subject to your ideas. Check your specs if you don't beleve me. for crying out loud you cannot even match the stupid neon turbo which is in your price range. You guys have yet to bring one decent defense to the table. Even the muscle car nuts can do that. And one of you thinks that creating boost pressure is called "forced injection"!!! It is called forced induction get it right, I did not come here looking for a fight I was just here to see if any of you agree with me, but since you want to make it into a fight I will thrash all of you by myself. Because I do know what I am talking about, and I have only seen one of you say somthing slightly intelegent.

Hey Tibby thanks for the links, although 288hp is impressive; the 1/4 mile times are weak. An Evo runs a 13.06 compared to the mid 14s that this Tiburon runs. Even a stock neon turbo can run a 14 flat.

the quarter times were weak cause it was his first time at the track. you also gotta remember that none of those cars can boast a ten year warranty.

and i messed up on my first post... the msrp of the v6 tibby is 18000.

Re: We want more!

Tiburon's run 15's Jared_80. To be exact the Tiburon is in with it's competitors. Put a turbo on the Tiburon and see what it does to the Neon. Eclipse Spyder is in Tiburon Competition and the Tiburon times in all events are better than the spyder... The Celica GT-S top speed 134, tiburon 137.. Celica with 10 more HP on the Tiburon only gets the Tiburon in the quarter mile by .2 10th's of a second... 1 slip up by the driver in the celica and the tiburon would murder it.. So check your stats first cause the Tiburon is well in competition with competitors.. Here is the stats of both cars, look at the slight difference in them both.
