um.. a tiburon GT can barely "spank" an LS (at least from what i've heard/read), so i doubt he's really "regularly spanking gsr's"..

i watched him last weekend spank a friend with a 01 gsr (w/ mods) all the tib has is a cai..so then he let the guy with a gsr drive the tib and he even was suprised...
edit: i think everyone just has a hard time beleiving that hyundai actually did something right for once..even me.. i wouldnt be here if i was a hyundai fan..

one GS-R does not equal regular spanking..

but honestly, i don't know enough about the tib. but for the 03, 0-60 seems to be low 7s, and 1/4, mid 15s. that's about what the GS-R does; so, imo, that doesn't equate to spanking.

stock its low/mid 15's however they choked the hell outta that motor, before he bought the cai he got dynos of others from his hyundai forum with different intakes ..two different manufacturers of cai for the tib both produced a 16 hp increase..

hahaha, my girlfriend was driving and some guy in a new Tibouron was talking on his cell phone. He wasnt paying attention, jumped the curb, hit a newspaper box and then drove into the stone wall for the entrance to a neighborhood. Car was mangled but he was okay.

that car is totally custom, so it hardly equates to the tib you would be getting from the local dealer. The fact that kia offers such a comprehensive warrenty on their cars is the most inticing part of their automotive lineup. For a 2.7L to only churn out 181hp is rather weak imo.

Yah, they got a weak V6 that can't keep up with the detuned Honda 1.8 LS.
