Tiburon vs Me
So... im on the way home from a friend's house about an hour and a half ago so that i can go to work at 11pm stupid graveyard shift... Anyhow, like usual before the import rides my *** for a few seconds till a lane clears, then pulls next to me. I have seen this tiburon around alot, but i was always in my beater and he always drove obnoxiously. I know he has exhaust at least, probably an intake, idk. My turn was the next light but i see it turn red so im like eh whatever, ill just run him and pull a u turn. Light turns green and we both ease into it, then i see him punch it and pull so then i proceed to punch it. I stay dead even as i try to gain traction... had to let off the throttle 3 times in first till i finally shift to second, then finally gain traction halfway through second, then instantly pull, shift to 3rd and proceed to put buslenghts on him. I pull a u turn at the next turn...then see him do the same! I guess he was pissed and wanted another shot. So i shift to second and just kinda wait for him.
I see him punch it and i wait till he has a carlength behind me then instantly stop his pull. This time it was a bit closer, but thats cause there was a car in the lane up ahead and i didnt want to get out of control so i didnt give it full throttle. Annnyways, sorry for the long post. But these tiburons arent as slow as i thought they were.

That guy in the Tiburon is a douche. I raced him too! Was it black and the license plate said "2quick4u" (Gayyyyyy)?? It was about three weeks ago when I was having fun with my new converter. I was looking for some rice up on West Ox, then I saw him. He kept giving it gas (jumping) the whole time, it was really annoying. I sped up away from traffic and we were side by side for like a minute. I was waiting for him to honk, but he didn't so I just took off. He took off the same time and it was a turd. We did a few more little races. He pulled into a gas station so I did a u-turn at the next light. Then I saw him going back to other way with me. We finally got side by side at a light, and he jumped over two lanes and went into a shopping center. Sure wasn't 2 quick for me.

I owned a Tiburon before I got my Formula. I had every NA mod you can buy for it. IM, CAI, Headers, Exhaust, motor mounts, shifter. It dynoed 171fwhp/175fwtq. Not too shabby for what it is. Ran a 14.7 at the track.
Definately will not compete with an LS1 f-body, but for its class, it doesnt lose often. The only sport compact that I lost to at the track was an SRT-4 and a K-pro RSX.
The Tiburon crowd is pretty cool, except for the douchebag you ran into
