h: 0-60 in 7.8 .... with a 6-speed MANUAL!

(Quoting Edmunds.Com) "Though the Tiburon is by no means a slug, it is still one of the slowest cars in its class, which is testament to just how fast the current crop of sport coupes is. The GT put up respectable acceleration numbers (0 to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds, quarter-mile in 16.0 seconds at 86.4 mph) at the track, and there's a satisfying midrange pull that hits once the tach needle swings by 3,000 rpm. But by comparison, the Acura RSX Type-S, which was the quickest car in our recent Sport Coupe comparison test, hit 60 in 6.7 seconds and covered the quarter in 15.2 ticks at 92.7 mph. Compensating for the lack of blistering acceleration is the Tib's user-friendly interface. Running through the well-spaced gates of the six-speed manual gearbox was a breeze; unlike the six-cog unit in the Celica GT-S, it doesn't take any "getting used to" before smooth gear shifts can be made. A light clutch with progressive take-up helps in the cause."
