Freeway run

jurupa · 08-03-2007, 03:30 AM

On the way back from the fair this Hyundai Tiburon wanted to play with me on the freeway. I was in the lead for like 5 or so miles but during that time it never got no more than 3 or 4 car lengths behind me. I moved over a lane to see if the driver wanted to race head on, but instead flew past me. I then gas it and caught up to him with some ease.

After that I exit the freeway. I don't think the Tiburon was modded any, besides wheels and maybe lowered. But it was fun to watch another Korean car try and catch me for a couple miles and then catch up to it with not much effort.

what year was the tiburon,cause my friends tib is a 1999 and he has the same mods as me, and his car is quite a bit faster.

is this the GT v6 or the i4? manual or auto trans? although i heard that our car can beat a tib v6, i doubt the one you raced was. usually if they get some headwind on you, you can't catch back up unless they let off.

yea my friend has the i4 mt. He said the power to weight ratio of the v6 isnt very good. So he said if it was the gt v6 it could happen.

I have no idea if it was the GT one or not, as it was at night. It looked like it was semi new with the only mods I can tell where the wheels and maybe lowered.

i dont know about our cars beating the gt v6s, at least manual ones. theyre slow for v6s yeah but, theyre pretty quick still
