win race

[Tiburon99]

I was just wondering, which one would win in a race, a Dodge SRT-4 manual stock, or a Hyundai Tiburon 4-cylinder manual stock?

dude... you're comparing a Turbo charged and intercooled performance monster to a tiburon.... I love my car but the SRT-4 would stomp the tiburon's gills in... On the bright side however, if you add a turbo and intercooler to the tib it'll beat a stock SRT-4

come on adam, this guy is learning and needs better explanations than that. beating a srt4 is not as easy as strapping a turbo kit on and racing, and i know you know that.

some stock srt4's actually dynoed higher numbers at the wheels than dodge rated them at the crank. it will take a lot of money and tuning to cover the 80+ horsepower gap with a turbo kit.

youll have to put in alot of money in a tib to gte number close to an srt-4....
remeber this was hyundai's first successful tiburon... and theyre still learning about producing a "sports" car

how are the early years not successfull?

there were plenty of 400whp+ 1st and 2nd gen tibs running around korea within two years of their release. i havent seen any GK tibs anywhere (whether they be I4 or v6) break the 400 mark.

successful in sales....
theres morepeople interested in the 3rd gens then the 1st 2 combined.....
you havnet seen any gks break that mark...cause the engines are new...and are being tuned...
alota rumors.. andtheres a 305whp tib with a s/c and n20..ill find thedyno...

[tibby01]

my point is that the new engines have been out just as long as the old ones were before we started seeing high hp.

[nisco]

the tib never had a v6 before...
and tuners wer weary to go about it..
now theres turbos out for the v6...
companies are starting to make alota aftermarket stuff for the new tibs...

[tibby01]

nisco, dude, i know you can understand what im trying to say.

i know the tib didnt have a v6 until the the 2003 model. my point is that the v6 engine has been out for a solid 2-3 years(it is the same one used in the santa fe, and yes, those crazy koreans try to tune the santa fe).

after 2-3 years of tuning the beta engine, they were making power near 400. the highest dyno i have ever seen from the v6 is 249. untill i see more IN A DYNO!!!!!, the 250 number will hold true IMO.

you are right about the popularity of the GK over the RD though. its a shame how many more people are attracted to a car when you throw the words "v6, infinity stereo, 17 inch wheels, and 6 speed tranny" in the mix.

[nisco]

people are attracted to frilly things... yes words are nothing proof is everything
