'05 Mustang V6 Standard Transmission
VS
'05 Tiburon V6 SE Standard Transmission

Two guys are arguing at work as to who will win, and supposedly they are going to race someday.

I'm not a Hyundai fan... but something tells me the Tiburon would win.

What do you guys think?

 

[BrokenVisage]

Tiburon FTW.

i know the tiburon seems to weigh close to 3000 lbs from what i last read, unknown about the mustang.

should be close.

And if he's driving the stang, he NEEDS pussy.

Tiburion: 172HP 2.7L V6, ~2900lbs curb weight
Mustang: 210HP 4.0L V6, ~3500lbs curb weight

My money is on the mustang. Larger displacement engine = more low end torque, not to mention more power overall.
And yes, two stock V6's drag is stupid. Tell your friends to buy some real cars and race

EDIT Oh yeah, and Tiburon is FWD. More power is lost going from engine-->wheels w/FWD. RWD FTW

Mustang.

Unless the guy with the Tib supercharged his.

In stock form, both cars are fairly close, with the Mustang having the edge. I'd say the outcome will depend on the skill of the individual drivers.

Some drag time results...the V6 Mustang and Tiburon are on the second page:

i'd say it's a waste of gas and effort.

Actually your weights are a little off.

Tiberon SE = 3023lb. @ 172 HP
Stang V6 Std = 3300.b @ 210 HP

The Stang has a definate power/weight ratio advantage plus higher torque numbers.

3023lb/172 HP = 17.57lb/HP

3300lb/210 HP = 15.71lb/HP

I'd have to say in all fairness that the Stang would whip up on the Hyundai.

 

[MasterAndCommander]

Also... Tiburon: Half-Shafts, Stang: SRA less wheel hop...game, set, match Mustang

 

[BW86]

Mustang!

 

[jlee]

RWD launch > FWD launch...the 60' time makes all the difference..so my guess would go for the Mustang.

 

[UNCjigga]

Who wins? Everyone left after these two are gone.

 

[Chrono]

TIBBY for the WIN!!!!!!! You don't know how fast those tibby's are really.. I've seen some go real fast... they were N/A too

 

[sniperruff]

tell them to spend a bit more for a WRX
