Slow Cars....

Im 100% stock dude... and I have raced many heavy ass tibs with 6-speeds and have handed their asses to them in a paper bag. I know a dude that pulled a 15.3 stock in his SVT not a single thing done to it at all. There isnt a single tib that can do that their just heavy overweight bitches. Im up for a race... T/C or no T/C ill still kick your ass... oh and from a roll your going to want to sell your car when im done with you. The SVT is one of the most under rated stock cars on the market and with a small amount of modifications it sees way higher gains then the tiburon. I have a chance to pick up a jackson racing supercharger kit for my car for $1500 add another $250 for a 2.4 pulley putting me at 8.5psi and id hit high 13's and push 250whp and 220wtq with no lag... because its not a turbo.
I think your starting to realize your car is never going to be fast dude. Its ok man I used to drive a kia... just gotta get something different. I know somebody with a nice RSX for sale... We all know how much you like Vtec. Or if you think the 6-speed tib is so fast... buy one of those. Im tired of bench racing your ass lets get this done ill be in town tonight after autovations.
Peace!

I don't remember seeing a tiburon out at the track last night but I saw a lot of honda powered cars running anywhere from 14's to nearly 17s. Also saw a few trucks out there and not one broke into the 15s. But who cares, they were out having fun and hopefully improving from last time.
I have to say to tiptronic isn't that great. Think about it, it's still a slush box and it's still robbing you of massive power. It differs from car to car but take a look at the difference it makes on the Mazda 6
155-165 WHP for the 6s ATX
175-185 WHP for the 6s MTX
125-130 WHP for the 6i ATX
140-144 WHP for the 6i MTXThat ATX is robbing some serious power. You probably have to spend a lot more money than the ATX is worth to gain back that much power. Even still, you're always down compared to a comparitively modded MTX version of the same car. Tiptronic is also not making up for that loss by shifting quicker than an MTX, which I would argue it doesn't on most of todays electronically controlled transmissions. You can just as easily manually shift an ATX but pulling it down to 1st and moving it up as you go.
The other thing ATX cars have against them is, in street form, how do you launch them and get good 60' times? Neutral drop? Power brake? Both are going to kill an ATX quicker than a clutch and cost more to replace to boot.

You can take almost anything and make it fast, but you can make a tiburon faster than most, for less money. For 5,000 less than a evo, I could have a tiburon, and make it push over 300whp....or for 25k less then that you could buy and modify a dsm and actually have something to brag about. As well as a sub 15sec timeslip.

Come on rob, you don't know much about tiburons, once again, you barely beat me, lol, and I will keep it thanks, it can be very fast, but just like anything, it takes money.

Dude, that tiptronic crap sucks. I killed my friends tiburon and its the exact same thing as urs even the same color. So you should really shut up about ur car and how fast you seem to think it is. And yeh im new to the board blah blah blah but i dont care, how old are u anyways?\
O and you seem to be living up to ur name, you are digging urself a big grave.

I never have said I could beat so and so, and that I was fast, it's all you guys, can't handle a forum I guess. V-tec will always lick my sack.

Calm down, it's just a forum. This is all hilarious, you all get so mad about your cars and v-tecs. I hope your lives improve, have a good day.

Race a H22 Prelude, A TSX, RSX, Integra GSR or a Type R, Shit race a B16 civic. I dont think VTEC really licks your ass... you are just used to fuckin w/ slow ass civics.It's kinda funny I saw this moron talk shit when my bro's prelude sh lost to a 2003 golf vr6. Course he had nothin to saw when they both got toasted at the next stoplight.
He's gonna need that 10 warranty. Don't know why he's talking about 300whp. Hmm, the alpine supercharger kit only only adds 40hp. I can't think of any other car with a 2.7 liter engine that makes less power. A fricken intrepid makes 200!!!
He can't drive either saw him cut a few people off and almost cause an accident. And the green neon is gay also.

Of course its just a forum, but you sure talk alot of shit for it just being a forum. I've met you, you seem like a nice guy, but you need to put things in perspective. If Honda's weren't a good platform to start with, why are ther 1000000000003938383883 people working off of it. The Tiburon, is a great looking car, but it doesnt get past the fact that it uses an SUV engine out of another hyundai.
You've had prob. 10 people tell you that they'd race you with ther "Vtec" engines... even totally stock ones. If your going to continue to rip on them, I suggest you back it up. Shit, rob's even challanged you. If you don't even want to race a FORD, yes a FORD focus... theres something wrong about talking shit about VTEC powered hondas.
Now... I am calm, never was un-calm. I was never mad. I don't have V-TEC. And I am yet another person who will race you. You name how much... I'm there. Stop or a roll. Oh and leave the street glow off.

I was going to post on your cardomain thing, but decided no to, but you still have to run your mouth. I wasn't racing you guys, and my buddy kicked your ass, and you can't stand it. You also don't know anything about my car, that alpine kit has more stages, but that's not the one I am getting. I am keeping this car to to make it fast and show everyone that an auto v6 can kick some ass. As for civics and hondas, sure they are decent project cars, but so is almost anything else. These accords could be just as fast if they wanted to. I haven't seen any regular civic, non hatch, run better than like a... 14.5 or low 14's. Nor a CRX do the same. I guess, in this area, I see that a lot of people have them, but most ALL of them are not that fast. I love the S2000, that's a beautiful car, otherwise, having a civic is like having a F-150 in this area. I did race rob already, it was a good race. I don't know how many times I need to say this, I am not racing for money, cause I don't have much extra, to be putting on a race, and I bet 80% of all of that talk coming my way is ego BS anyway. Oh yeah, and my neons are off, to much work to keep it all going and together, I smashed them all, and cut cords, it was fun.
