Ran a friends v6 tib. he has i/h/e and he's in the mid 14's territory.

i've got i/h/e and 75shot.

pretty good run i think.

it was from a 40mph roll. we stayed pretty even.

if your wondering about the shoes, i had just got off of work.

Tiburons are such a joke. So are most of the owners. Just walk into newtiburon.coms forums sometime.

His car is in the mid-14s w. I/H/E? Wow, don't V6 tibs run something like high 15s stock? sometimes even low 16s? I was under the impression that they were pigs.

yes, but only cause the factory parts are so restrictive.

Yeah, but gaining a second and a half in the quarter? An RSX-S doesn't do mid 14s in the quarter, its lucky to get to 14.9.

The only V6 tibs i have seen run mid to low 14's have every bolt-on known to man! There is one guy here in Canton with a V6 tib with only an exhaust who wants to race me for a tank of gas cuz he says "haha yeah right man you wanna race my car with that 4 door Buick over there?It even has babyseats in the back!!!!" then he starts laughing with his friends. I told him screw the tank of gas i wanna race for $300. Then he was like "Yeah right dude i can hand with new Mustang GT's like nothing!"
He then proceeds to ask me why i'm so sure i can win and what i have done to the Buick. I told him i bought it with some strang Tornado fuel saver "thingy" on it and thats all. Guess he started asking the locals about my car at the local cruisin spots and i haven't seen him since.
All of the V6 tib owners i have met have big heads about their cars just cause its a V6. Yeah a V6 with under 200hp!!! Thats sad!
Can't beleive i would try to race a car of that caliber with a 4 door Buick Regal!!!

Actually, I believe the fastest new body style tiburon is running a high 12 with a lot invested. I wouldn't consider that very quick.

Well thats how it always goes with car forums. There are plenty of people on here who think civics are the best cars ever made so naturally people on a tiburon forum would think theirs is the best. But I have learned to just avoid the subject of comparing a tiburon to another car. Simply because everyone assumes that since it's a hyundai that it's not a good reliable car.

im going to say good running. a 4banger tiburon sucks all ballz. even our car would give it a good run. it would be a drivers race. but a stock v6 has 2.7 liter displacement. which is a little lacking in my opinion. it sounds like it should have been a 4banger. the 4banger is 140 hp. the v6 is only 180 but they both weigh almost 3000 pounds. 2940 to be exact. so i wouldn't even be afraid to run a v6 in my almost stock civic. the car does 0-60 in 7.8 seconds with the v6. thats the same as our car stock ex. the qt mile is 16 seconds. idk. not worth it. i think you would win from a dig.

lol there is a huge difference in a civic and a v6 tiburon. I've owned both so believe me i know. But thats just comparing stock for stock.
