Mm hmm. The Tiburon is called the Tuscani in some places I think. Our GT with the V6 and 6 Speed tranny is pretty fast in a straight line, but considering it's a coupe with a V6 it should be!
I've never driven a Type R, but everything I've read suggests it is a way better car overall. And since it doesn't have the tall roof line of the RSX I gotta say IT RULES!
