The GT Tiburon would bend you over.

Tiburon would win >>

Don't they come in 4 and 6?

if it was the tib 4 banger, then the celi... if it was the tib 6 then it would win.

really? so my gt could win over a 4 banger tiburon?

I don't think so on the 4 but they are right on the 6. The 6cyl come 180hp stock

ok if you were to take on a 4 banger tiburon you would win no matter what.

here are the specs.

2003 Tiburon (Manual Transmission)
RPM at Peak Horsepower 134@6000
RPM at Peak Torque 132@4500
Curb Weight Manual (lbs) 2940

1998 Toyota Celica

135 horsepower at 5400 rpm, and 145 lb. ft. of torque at 4400 rpm in every state except for California, where the engine only puts out 130 horsepower due to emissions restrictions.


The weight for a Manual Transmission Celica GT is 2,580lbs. So you have 1hp more than him at a lower rpm and 13 lb. ft more of torque at a lower rpm. Plus you weigh 360 lbs. less. So unless you are super fatass man then you shouldn't have a problem beating him.



BUT if its a GT Tiburon here are the specs for that:

RPM at Peak Horsepower 170@6000
RPM at Peak Torque 181@4000
Curb Weight Manual (lbs) 3015

It has a little more power but still weighs 435 pounds more. Get your 5s-fe turboed and they wouldnt stand a chance. You could be beating RSX Type S's...maybe.

well factor in the weight difference

I see the V6 tibs at the track running low 16's...pretty sad if you ask me.

The Tiburon's V6 was originally a truck engine that's why it has good low end power and it just drops off up top.

I thought the v-6 ran low 15's????

2003 Tiburon V6

Motor Week timed the quarter mile at 15.4 @ 91 mph.
Motor Trend timed the quarter mile at 15.34 @ 90.80 mph.
Sport Compact Car timed the quarter mile at 15.6.

Hey GT2GT4 Don't hate on the fat-asses, cause I will take my fat-*** and sit on you biznitch, I might even cut a fart >>

*a rotten egg stench fills the forum*

anyways just go for it, If you win, you get to brag.
If you lose, you'll live, but you'll also realize that your car was better built than any Hyundai will ever be. just my .02
