Default I need quarter mile times...

Ok, I'm also a member of grandamownersclub.com, as I also own a Grand Am in addition to my Accent. There's an argument going on over there. They seem to think that a new Grand Am GT can outrun a new Tiburon V6 6spd. I need everyone that owns a Tiburon V6 6spd to post drag slips if you have them. I'm not looking for G-Tech or anything like that...just slips. Thank you for your help.

This is a childish argument but the V6 is a mid 15 sec car just like the Grand Am GT.
The race would be neck and neck and realy come down to driver.

Now, if you take the $5k you save on the Tib and use it to buy a supercharger, intake, exhaust, headers, and a couple other goodies, you will kick the GTs ass all day long up and down the track.

Actually the GA really only does high 15's, and then not all the time. I thought the new tib 6spd V6 generally ran mid to low 15's?

Mid to high 15's is what I have seen on stock V6's

Ah. Either way, just a few slips to take these guys down a level or two would be nice. The whole thing started with "You could take it...it's just a Hyundai." I love my Grand Am, but I would never own a new one. They suck.

I'm not sure what mine runs, the v6 tib at least the 6-speed will run low to mid 15's. At least they do up here in NH. Then again the only ones i've seen run up here were 2004's, but the only difference i've seen with mine is they removed the air resonator from the wheel well. Anyways I should be heading upt o the track soon with mine. All I have is an air filter on the end of my MAF so i'll let ya know :
