Default Very quick tiburon

On my way home from frys today, I see up ahead on the highway a silver car with a park bench on the back of it, so I figure what the hell . I catch up after a bit and see that its a newer style tiburon with some weird body kit and tons of gay graphics on it . It was 2 lanes over from me but then got behind me as a bunch of traffic merged in. I didn't get a clear view of the front but I'll assume it was turbo'd. Anyways, He gets to the right of me and the highway magically opens up. I notice he has a triple pillar gauge thing and 3 more gauges on the top of the dash, and it sounded pretty angry for a V6. I tapped the gas to downshift and he went for it at around 60, by 120 I barely had 1/2 a car on him, so this thing was pretty quick despite being ugly as hell.

Also, played with a datsun 280z turbo, but I didn't even need to get out of overdrive to walk away from him.

Good kill. The Tibby is still gay, even if it is fast.

I wish I had a picture of it, it was so hideous. It has these flame graphics all over the car, hood and everything that were blue and yellow around the edges. I don't know who makes the body kit but it had those gigantic turkey platter sized fog lights on the front as well.

Awesome kill.

Those cars **** me off. IMO they look prety good.....if they were RWD and had a decent engine. They just seem like a FWD V6 trying to look like a RWD powerful car. I feel the same way about Preludes.

There is a strong rumor the next gen will have a 300HP V6 and RWD or a turbo 4 RWD, for about the same pricing as a Mustang. Might be interesting.

I had a Hyundai once. I was the joke of the neighborhood. It smoked, smelled like tuna, and had a horrible turning radius.
