The reason the TL-S lost was that it hit a brick wall, meaning 4th gear, it was pulling hard until he shifted, so i am guessing that was to 4th gear. Should have just let off at the 4th gear shift and called it a day

I hate 4th gear in our cars. Is there anything we can do? I did a couple pulls with a honda accord hybrid the other day, and made him look foolish from a dog to the top of 3rd, but in a higher speed race, it took every letter of comptech for me to even stick with him in 4th.

1st 2.563

4th 0.666
5th 0.480

2G TL-S gear ratios --
1st 2.563
2nd 1.552
3rd 1.022
4th 0.653
5th 0.471
Reverse 1.846
Final 4.429
As you can see, there are only minor differences in gear ratios. It's still going to have the same 4th gear issue.
The 6MT, no doubt.

I know my friend with a chipped 1.8T GTI has trouble keeping up with new TL's.. dunno if he keeps messing with 6MT's or not though. Or his car is just slow in general.

As you can see he had CAI/H/E and the tl had at least I/E by the sound..... its fucked up right.......that dude's hyundai is sick he got another vid with stage 3 S/C racing a wrx with 11 pounds of boost. And guess what....he beat the shit out of that wrx. remeber those little cars get more gains out of mods than a tl IMO!

4th gear in a blown TL-S pulls.

Haha. After watching that video over and over again and notice its in south florida I think that TL belongs to "Nitrous" on this board. I notice the gold 19" and the TL is blue. His car also sounds like the one in the video.

I raced my stock 01' TLp against my friends stock 04 Tiburon GT V6 and ripped him a new one. That car is slow and incredibly heavy for a "sports car". It's too damn bulky and doesn't handle well at all. A stock Tiburon against a stock TL, no question TL would take it.

someone does not know how to race. Our (tl-s) might have a slightly tall fourth gear, however, when you hit 130 mph in 4th at WOT, watch your face in the rear view mirror and you'll see an ear to ear grin for sure. when third tops out at 105-110 mph, you can get a very respectable fourth gear reve range. If you whimp out third at under 100 mph, you'll feel like the engine just dropped out of the bay and was replaced by gerbils.
On a side note: IF YOU ARE GOING TO VIDEO THE EVENT AND YOU ARE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, DON'T BLOW THE OPPORTUNITY AND GET SOME ACCEPTABLE FOOTAGE. this guy answers the question: if you give 1000 monkeys 1000 video cameras, will any footage be useable?

maybe the guy shifted into 4th gear too soon? even gutted i dont see how a tiburon could do that... unless the mods really freed up a lot of power (i dont know much about tiburons other than they're usually slow
)
