Just because you haven't taken the time to look past your own driveway and notice all of the sub 10second imports running around the streets of the country, doesn't mean that these cars can't be cool to some people.
good for you speaking for everyone you think is going to give you a cookie for that great speech... I'm well aware of fast imports and have been outrun by many. A Hyundai Tibueron is not one of them. Gather me a list of all the sub 10 sec Tibuerons hero and then I'll agree with you otherwise realize we already got past this

I remember back in high school I drove a '69 Chevy 1/2 ton Stepside with 9" of lift and 40" tires, a 350 with a mild cam and nothing else. The damn thing wouldn't do over 60 mph with it's 3.73 gears. I knew it wasn't fast, never claimed to be, but I'll be damned if people didn't notice me! I was proud of that thing too. Complete frame off resto, two years in the making. Alot of time spent with my dad and good memories.
I fell in love with the last Gen when they came out. I wanted a new T/A so bad, even went and test drove one, and was hooked. I graduated in 99 and went to work and finally bought a T/A which is the one I have now.
Granted if a kid had a chance to cruise into school in any of our cars I'm sure they would jump at the oppertunity.

i am just putting this out there, my ex had a 06 tibby and i put a full exhaust,intake, and a good tune on it. and i ran it at the track a few times and i ran dead even with a 95ish gt stang. the best i got out of it was 14.66 and i dont remember the trap. and ofcourse this was a v6 gt not the 4cyl. but im not ******* the neon(tho i have 3 2.0 dohc engines sitting in my garage that are trashed) but i see no way that a stock neon can even beat a gt tib. but who knows lol
I ran a shitbox early to mid 90s 4 door mirage from a roll last night in my 96. I probaly only beat it by two or three cars.
I have never had the car to the track in full street trim with 18" wheels and a passenger, my guestimate would be a low 11, high ten @ 128-130.
That little car was quick! I dont know if he swapped AWD or not, so it may not ET well, but it had to trap at least 125-126.

150 hp in a Neon with no weight to it actually made for a pretty quick little car. I think in 95 or 96 they had a faster 0-60 time than a 5.0 Mustang.
Sleepers are fun! I wouldn't personally do it to a Tiburon, but I've definitely thought of turbocharging my Z24. I still think I'd prefer to do an LS1 swap into a Solstice or an RX-7 though.

My .02 Cars are like women. We can't all have hot chics with boob jobs, They are just so rare and conceded from getting hundreds of compliments all day "which would compare to gt500 and c6 z06 pricing."
But no matter how many of us love american muscle, we would jump on a hot asian the first chance we got! **** even! R U gonna go 4 the American Blonde Gettin pounded on bt some black dude, or the hot asian w/ the Vibe 2000?
