Hello all,
I come from all over, my Hyundai Forums, 5th Gen Camaro Forums, B-Body Impala Forums ... the list goes on.
As it stands right now, I currently own the loudest Hyundai Tiburon in the world (or at least United States); a 2005 Hyundai Tiburon GT that for our cars, is considered a N/A Beast.
I have a larger upper Intake Manifold, Ported Lower Intake Manifold, Intake, Headers, Straight Pipes, Mildly Aggressive Cams and a reprogrammed computer. Sadly while some of my fellow Tiburon owners are in the 12's and 11's with their Superchargers, I am in the pitiful high 13's.
I have been wanting to get a new Camaro 1SS since the first pictures were released, but money situations may have me selling my Tiburon, and going used.
Since by no means am I going to downgrade, and since I have swore up and down my next car would be RWD V8 (Fail wheel drive ain't cutting it anymore, was fun when I was young but I need power) so I figured I would look into my second favorite V8; the "Modern Goat". I suspect I won't be able to go over $15,000, so I will probably end up with the LS1 5.7L but I hope I can get one with decently low mileage on it and Manual. Seems the majority of them for sale are all Autos (Which I refuse to own).
If the job ever gets better, I would love to go Supercharged/Procharged with it down the line, and I am going to push hard to get me a GTO. The Tiburon has been fun, but while a crisis comes my way where I can't afford my current car, to me, it may mean the possibility of saving money, yet upgrading all at the same time. :nod:
This video says enough about my Tiburon as it stands right now (And sounds):

Ever since I bought my Tiburon (New at 16 years old; now 20 years old) I deep down regretted it. My friend owns a 94' Caprice LT1 and a 95' Impala SS LT1 and about 95% of my yearly car shows are all muscle car based, so I have had this strong urge to own a RWD V8 ever since I was a young teenager, but basically been stuck with what I bought.:ripped:
This is my friends 95 Impala:

While he gets into his mods much deeper; currently has RAISS Intake, Even Flow Headers, Custom Spintech Stainless Steel Exhaust, Eaton 4.10 Gears and soon Ported Camaro Heads / Cam .. I become more and more jealous of the V8 sound, and desire one ever more.
SOOOO, that is my pretty lengthy story as to why I am here, where I come from and what I am hoping for.
Been eyeing the GTO's since they came out 5-6 years ago and maybe now is my chance :)
