First, you say Hyundai is a piece of crap...after witnessing a tiburon pushing 11.1 in a quarter mile, now you want to smash it up? Can't face the potential of this car?
just because this is the "fastest" tiburon does not mean that all tiburon's have "potential", they do not. they are a poor place to start a drag build. ONE person built a purpose built drag tiburon and almost hit 10's, sweet! but it doesnt speak for every hyundai or tiburon. ONE example.lol "you want potential"?? how many evo's,sti/wrx's and dsm's have hit 11's with their OEM stock block???? cool that a tiburon hit 11.1@128mph, but as a whole, they still suck as performance vehicles.
All I was pointing out was that doubters say Hyundai's are crap and slow but when somebody puts in performance stuff to show to the public; then those doubters "doubts" or ignores the outcome. The tib has potential if you are fully dedicated in spending money on mods just like other cars. Oh, yeah, why throw in Evo's, Sti/WRX's and DSM's in this reply? I have love for them since my love of cars. So don't get it twisted cuz I know they're quick.
because the phrase, "the ultimate sleeper" is referring to all cars made to be "sleeper", and implying that this tiburon is faster,quicker and more "sleeper" then alot of cars that are MUCH faster and less obvious a performance car. i bring up evo/sti/dsm because they are the ultimate sleepers, unless you only race your car from +50mph, then those boosted hondas come into play big time. i got a buddy that has a 600fwhp backyard built turbo honda and it is crazy. MAJOR TOP END! r1 went where?
take the fun stuff out of that tiburon, stick it in an AWD 1st gen santa fe, and go make some money on the street... who expects a 12 second santa fe?!
"Ultimate Sleeper"???? HAHAHAHA.... what a dumb comment, lol... anyone who knows a little about cars made to go fast could tell from 30+ feet that there is a sizable amount of work into the strait line performance of that car. a full interior evo/sti with 500awhp is sleeper, a full interior evo/sti with 800awhp is the ultimate sleeper. this is just the ultimate v6 tiburon, which isnt saying much
i dont think of it as a "sleeper" because it looks like a tiburon that would be fast. after i saw it in person i would say something along the lines of, "Hey that car looks like it is a purpose built drag car, i bet its faster then it looks" which is not what a sleeper is. an full interior evo/sti with 600awhp is not a lot different looking then a evo/sti with 220awhp. 11.1 is fast, not saying it isnt, especially for a tiburon, but it wasnt sleeper, it looks the part
This car hardly looks like a purpose built machine, it wouldn't stand out at all cursing the streets IMHO, hence my sleeper call.
How the hell can an evo be a better sleeper than a Tib? People know Evos are bloddy fast ever from the factory, Tibs on the otherhand are known as a sporty GT coupe. A fast Tib would naturally be a better sleeper than an Evo because people don't expect it to be fast in the first place.
Get it yet?? you want to be a smart-ass fine..... i did not say a stock evo is a sleeper you ignorant smartass, factory evo's are not "bloody fast", most people who have been exposed to a real fast car do not think factory evo's are fast, they handle and brake well. if your definition of "bloody fast" is a stock evo, then yea i finally "get it", i see why you are arguing, because you dont know better. i mean damn, if a stock evo is fast, hell yea a tiburon running 11.1 is the ULTIMATE SLEEPER.
You really don't get the point. A sleeper is by definition a car which goes fast but doesn't 'look' like it normally would. How fast it actually goes is irrelevant. A sleeper is normally quite slow, which a Tib is. Now while you may have a point that my Ultimate Sleeper call may be a little enthusiastic, to go on and say that an Evo or WRX STI is a better sleeper is nonsense. They 'look' like, and are fast cars. A normal Tib is neither therefore can be a sleeper. Or am I still ignorant? eWanker.
I saw one of those shitty Ssangyong Musso's with serious, and I mean serious, work done to it when I lived in Korea. Owner claimed it could run in the 10s.
i got my 03 tiburon about a year ago for 9000 dollars >_> plus 5k for an assassin kit and another 2K for upgrades = around 400whp for 16,000 dollars not bad imo
i got a 04 tiburon..custom turboed at 12psi making 427whp...and i bougt it at 16grand bc it had a NOS kit in it...and some exterior nice rims...and i spent about 6 to 7 grand i owned a 2003 stock cobra..and they go for about 30grand...plus the tib looks better...those v6 on tib have a lot of potential...
i bought my 03 for $11,000. and whoever's asking what's done to this thing, i'm guessing, weight reductions all around, most of that car is probably painted carbon fiber, built block, some form of forced induction, intake, headers, exhaust, plus he's running slicks. nonetheless, nice fuckin tib
Hmm Im not quite sure what your talking about because a 2007 gt/se are around $23,000, and i just bought a 05 gt limmited 2 days ago for $13,900 so if someones buyin 03-06 used for over 20000 they are pretty dumb.
I got an 06 Tiburon gt V6 as my first car. I thinking of upgradeing it soon.

If an 11 second car with stock interior & exterior, save a few stickers and bigger wheels, doesn't quality as a sleeper than I don't know what does.
An evo can never be a sleeper. They have all the go fast parts cosmetic pars from the factory that scream out 'I go fast'
I like balsofsteele's suggestion of a 12 second SantaFe. Sleeperville!
