Hyundai+Racing?
Whats up everyone,
Im trying to settle an argument so I'd like to ask a question to all of you. Would you respect Hyundai anymore if you found out that they were associated with a major racing series (Indy Racing League, Champ Car, NASCAR)? I swear Im not a PR guy workin for Hyundai or any racing series...I just really want to know what people think about this. All responses are appreciated!

Re: Hyundai+Racing?
Beacuse the Hyundai's that come to the U.S. are crap so people are used to crappy cars and pigeon hole them as such.
Hyundai has been around in South America for ever and the shit they do to those cars is amazing. The WRC car is freaking amazing. I agree that Hyundai's in the U.S. are a sad sad bunch of slow POSes BUT they make some wicked rides we never get to see.

Re: Hyundai+Racing?
Which is true with most imported cars, we generally get bottom of the barrel cars, while other countries get the good stuff. Such as most Asia/Australia and Europe getting the Skyline. And we get the... Altima.
w00t? ...

Re: Hyundai+Racing?
Um, there is very little Hyundai could do with their current production line that would earn my respect...if you want to be 100% honest.

Re: Hyundai+Racing?
or even just use the turbo 2.0 from the WRC elantra, detune it a bit, and stick it in a special edition tiburon. 250hp or so with FWD would make hyundai a good bit of money.

Correction: Hyundai WAS in the WRC and never did well at all, the ran a specially produced Accent coupe which was rebuilt with AWD and was engineered by MSD in the UK before a financial dispute ended the relationship and Hyundai's presence in the WRC. There is no such thing as a WRC Elantra.

6th in the WRC in 2001 4th in the WRC in 2002 (they did beat Mitsu this year but the Evo VII was never competitive) 6th in the WRC in 2003 Those are the years Hyundai was in the WRC, they may have spent time ahead of some major teams early in any season, but by the 4th round every year they were back in their favorite spot.
