Street car... Dang!!! ... Who would have though a Hyundai Tiburon could embarrass the likes of Nissan Skyline GT-R, Mustang, Supra, Ferrari F360, etc. in a ¼ mile drag race.... It's a fun article to read so pick up a copy if you can. Here is an excerpt from the article :-)

Default read that in the store....seee the f360's 1/4 time...somewhere in the 13's..I just watched APRS GTI

Do the 1/4 in 12.7, not too shabby, wonder what I'll have to rip out to lighten the roac to get close to those times???

Me too. I'd take the F360 in a heartbeat over any of those cars.

Default Q version,

Well according to some of the APR guys...they were trying to tell me it's months away...I told em that was'nt good enough,so now I have to call em tomorrrow and discuss further, after all I was informed by the head man that there would be 10 initial pre-production kits ready soon, this is what I am trying to get in on, after all I'm not making it difficult for the to turn down $5000...or am I???
But, the stage 3 GTI is Schwwweeet!....very linear power delivery apparently, the dyno doesnt tell the full story...

Gotta have it!!!


I shall know more in the morning.

Marcus
