it wont't sell in america until they stick a big engine in it. my bet is they will. if i'm hyundai i'd strap some sort of forced induction until they roll out the new model.

"The uplevel Tiburon comes with a 2.7-liter V6 and a 6-speed manual gearbox."

that doesnt cut it?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I like it!

 

[MasterAndCommander]

next gen will be rwd

 

[Airsofter]

I have a Tiburon GT and it is the best car I have ever owned. And yes, that does include a Lexus IS250. I agree they should use forced-induction on their next redesign. I am running an 11psi supercharger on my car and it is an absolute screamer. Videos upon request.

Waiting in the line single file at the local "mobility distribution center care of the Chairman himselft" and risking losing ones vehicle for making any noise whatsoever while in line, not to mention only being able to buy the type #4564A-RED model will probably suck.

wow..can't believe the suspension didn't gave way under the supercharger...


edit: seriously though, that is not a bad platform at all for modding...good stuff assuming that you take the entire car out

Doesn't look too bad. At least they got rid of those stupid fake air things on the sides.

I have less than $5000 into it total. Not bad considering I got it for under $17,000 new. It was a little bit hard to harness all the power. Needed upgrades were LSD, Rear Sway Bar, Poly Motor Mounts.

uhhh, can somebody handle this guy for me. See a couple posts up and try not to put your foot in your mouth next time.

 

[randomlinh]

i want a supercharger :/

 

[Trikat]

It looks nice, but the rear shot reminded me of the RX8 just from the tips, black bottom deal and the taillights. Curves don't match, but that was the resemblence I saw.

A friend of mine is selling a very nice 7psi stage 2 Alpine Supercharger with an intercooler, injectors, and unichip for $2000 shipped if you are interested. Should put you at about 260whp with some minor supporting mods (intake, motor mounts)

 

[railer]

Is that an auto? Yikes.

Stock those 6's have what 170 or 180hp? Weak. Plus, it's a Hyundai.....
