Not all that impressive, but beat a Hyundai Tiburon

I was on US Rt. 70 and pulled up next to this Tiburon with all these stupid stickers and shit on it going about 80. I gave him a synicle thumbs up sign and took off. He kept up with me pretty good until I started trying and hit 140 and blew by him like he was standing still. Then we hit some traffic so we had to slow down =\. We managed to get to the front and I pulled to the right side and let him catch up. We gave each other thumbs up. Then we hit 3 lanes again and I didn't see him anymore (meaning I pressed on the gas and he couldn't keep up)

Nice kill.

Did he at least have an exhaust to go with all the stickers?

No, I think he still had stock exhaust. I didn't get a look at his breaks so I don't know if he had anything possibly under the hood. My CL-S is still stock, though.

First off Minch relax. If you are that against it become a cop. I understand not doing 100 in a residential neighborhood, but every thread with any racing or speeding/ticketing has this same response from you.
Oh back to the thread. Those v6 tiburons are pretty fast. I think it got a 1/4 of 15.2 i saw somewhere.

Who said anything about trying to be cool? This forum is about racing isnt it? That's what I was doing, and that's it. Relax buddy.

I've seen that Tiburon in I-95 once or twice, but was too much traffic to play with him/her.

I ran a tiburon on the highway from 70-110 and put about 3 cars on him.

I don't remember. I think it was one of the newer ones, but I couldn't tell the difference...didn't get a good look at it besides from the stupid stickers.

aside from the fact that i'm korean and you're being a lil stereotypical..you should do a little more research on the car you're talking shit about..it might be a bit surprising to you but the new tiburon didn't get a review that claimed it was a POS..it wasn't too bad in fact..very good warranty...decent horsepower...track time of low 15s..and reasonably nice interior..so exactly what's so "piece of shit" about all that? granted it might not be as nice as our cars..it is still respectable in what it does..so fuck you homie..koreans own you
