I'd still take a new si over a tiburon, even a supercharged version. No matter who wins the race, its still a hyundai.

yeah, there is way more to a car than who wins a stoplight stomping. Every Tibby I've driven is just nowhere near as tight as they should be. Besides that, seams around the radio and throughout the dash are uneven, doors don't have that solid feel when closed, etc. There's a reason people rock 20 year old Honda's voluntarily, and almost no one rocks a Hyundai by choice (unless they think their 170 hp V6 is gonna own some mustang).

Didn't really read more than the first page but.....

My friends got an 01 tibby and I'd have to say its kinda cool. I think its quick, that's just me though. If I get the civic I'm lookin at we'll definately have to race.

the vvt engine in da tiburon is stronger den ever. the interior is nicer then before. the whole car is better. its really nothin to hate on hyundais period. thier engines, especially off of the tiburon, should be a branch off from the vvt-i engines from the toyota camry's and scion tc's! either hyundai has come a long way and will be one of the better cars out there sooner or later. so no one can really hate on them now. (unless you still live in the past)

not saying tiburons are bad cars, but its true that a boosted K20a2 can easily handle 500 hp stock.

i heard k20s were tough but dag! yea but on stock internals though? dat would b pushin it wouldnt it? its not like its a supra or skyline or even a vr4 motor. but if it runs on stock internals dats hot. i was neva too fond wit da k20s but hey it is wat it is!

completely true...search in the sights and sounds section for boosted k20. You can find a video of a turbo'd k20 in an eg hatch done by cheesefrog. They were running it on 30 psi for 588 hp on stock internals. They kept ramping it up and blew the (stock) moter at 42 psi. makes me smile just thinking bout it.
