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.

it was an old body style tibby. but it had methanol injection and a stripped interior. could put one tranny in reverse and the otehr in drive and do some kind of crazy *** donuts. it was a few years ago when i read this article.

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.

x2. I try not to be biased about where a car comes from, but Korea has not figured out how to make a good car yet.

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.
