Default Tiburons eat ****

I was in henrietta NY when a kid from my highschool pulled up at a stoplight with his Tiburon. He just recently put in a new clutch and catback exhaust. Well, when that light went green and we went at it, he was two car lengths behind me when we got to the next. Stock 94 Civic EX 1.6 sohc VTEC killed his Tiburon. Man do I hate Tiburons. I dunno if its the V6 though, I'll have to find out.

uh, my sisters best friend has a GT V6, and no, its not much faster, if at all...if he was a bad driver, or the car was auto, (dont know if the v6 comes in auto) he could still win. it would be close though.

It is true, the only people I ever see in Tiburons always have them auto and are always drinking coffe and reading poetry. Always parked like an asshole. This kids was stick though.

i absolutely demolished some chick in a brand new tiburon V-6 three stoplights in a row when i had my WRX.

apparently she didn't know what a WRX was, because she just kept trying to launch from each light and i would let her.

then i would easily chase her down and just look at her while passing her by and shake my head, and then roar ahead.

after the third light, she just pulled off and made a right at the next intersection. she had had enough.

ahhhh, the good ol' days. lol.

even the gt v6 tibys are slow as dog ****... they are what like 140whp(i could be wrong here, but i know its no higher than 160)stock OUT OFA V6!!! i have run a few... but the race is always over before im even to the top of 2nd... of course 2nd takes me to about 75mph, but still. they are slow end of story. theres a pink one i always see around orlando that has the nastiest body kit i have ever seen.. not sure what it is, but its all rounded and organic looking with all kinds of scoops hanging off, its really pretty gross.
