Default Re: Tiburon GT vs WRX RSX GT-S SVT MR2

"We took it to our favorite mountain road with another Eight Great contestant for a head-to-head battle. The winner would make the list.

And the Hyundai, after only a few minutes of flogging, was the clear victor.

With massive grip, thanks to its sticky 215/45ZR-17 Michelin Pilot Sport tires and very little body roll, the Hyundai's composure was as impressive as it was unexpected. The harder we drove the Tiburon, the more Hyundai's performance goals became obvious. It's good at going quickly. Blast into a corner with way too much speed? Nothing a little trim with the brakes mid-corner won't cure. The Tiburon's response to trail braking and/or left foot braking stands out as one of its finer handling points. Handling is also characterized by heavy damping, which results in very well-controlled body movement and excellent stability over uneven roads and at high speed."

About GT-S being slow is due to glitch in ECU not allowing rpm to go beyond 6800rpm.
