    Here's from the article:

    "Reasonably well, but the Tiburon is not excellent at any task, and once you've savored the deal, the rest of the car is never inspiring. Acceleration by most measures trails the others', although occasionally the Tib nips ahead of the Toyota as it does in 0-to-60 times: 7.1 seconds versus 7.3. On the skidpad its 0.82-g grip edges only the Mitsubishi. Nearly the same story in braking, too, where the Tiburon shades the Eclipse by one foot and the Acura by three. Put another way, you could say Hyundai braking and Hyundai acceleration can play in the same league with the famous brands, which they surely do.

    The engine lacks thrills, too. It peaks fairly low, far below the 6500-rpm redline, and offers no encouragement above 5000."

            Wow, I don't want to do this to you jim and you all, but those numbers are way off. The auto takes a bigger loss, but my car dynos at 150whp, look around on the forums. I couple morons have a auto I4, and that would be closer to 135-140whp, but the V6, auto or manual dynos at least 150WHP, and usually just a little more, but I will cut it down to 150 just for you guys. But it only makes 129whp out of a 3.0 V6....?? It's a 2.7 Jim, maybe you were tired or confused. I am sure you math was right, but the V6 is NOT at 129. Sorry man.... I would gladly dyno myself now if it wasnt like $75, when that one is in town, but I usually don't have that kind of cash, and no my parents have nothing to do with my car, unlike some people, I pay for fuking everything, that's why I am usually broke. I bet your parents helped with yours though....

            Here comes the excuses that his parents didn't buy it. Really gravedigger why do you talk shit when you wont back it up?? i told you i'd race you whenever you get that SC your always talkin about that will beat me from a roll and give me comp. from a dig. Hurry up and get it i pay for the parts on my car so dont say anything about me not payin for any of it

                              Gravedigger,
                              All you're doing here is making yourself look stupid. You can stop anytime unless you plan to follow through w/ all these big claims you've made and fill this big hype of the tiburon your portraying.

                              What i really dont get is how your ripping on other cars when you yourself have a mid 16 sec car to boot.

                                  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.

                                  I was driving the VR6 GTi, traded that off. It was a 2001 with 174hp and the 12valve head and I still beat the SH with (unless I'm mistaken? Maybe..) 195hp. The new VR6's have a 24valve head and make 201hp. Anyways if the SH and my Vdub meet, let's go again. That was a fun race.
