A coworker of mine had a turbocharged tib that made 400 hp. It didn't feel any faster than my rx8 at 300 though. FWD with all that power is a waste IMO.

You see 400 hp FWD cars all the time at weekend drag events but in terms of driveability the max a FWD car can take is like 250 before the handling goes down the crapper because the front tires can't handle the power and steering responsibilities. Still its a nice looking ca but I agree that it might not be the forum to be posting on

+1 Best Tiburon I've seen in a long time. Very clean.

To the OP, get some nice light-weight wheels and some coilovers and you'll be set!

If I went on a vette forum and started posting photos of an 8 on it, I'm sure there would be mixed responses too.

not trying to bash rx8s, love em, but they are not on my level anymore. Ive raced 3 different ones. all NA but they all lost. they all had basic bolt ons.

300whp is all i want. i know torque steering is a bitch, but they have other things to help that.

well im not a big fan of fwd, just chose this car cause my parents bought it for me 5 years ago.

also i like this car cause you dont see it often as much as a civic, rsx, s2k, etc.
