i want a supercharger :/

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)

Did that video ever show your ETs? I couldn't stand the Knight Rider music...

I've slapped around a lot of stock Tibby V6s with my Focus. I always get that WTF look after a race :laugh:

thats the first thing i thought!!

rear RX-8 and a blend of Neon... the front is a goofy grin. my sonata should be trashed by the next generation release.

Why don't you show any of your times for the drag? Not bad, though.

Exactly what I'm wondering. Need times!! I like the car, btw.

you'd be surprised... my sister's fiance has the 4-banger model of the Tiburon, like a 2001 model... and its got some nice pickup for it being a modest 4-banger. the v6 should be mighty powerful compared to it, but mind you, i've never been in the v6 model.
