03tibbyboy · 02-04-2002, 09:56 PM

voting on the topic today I noticed that 39% of you hate the new tibs........why? is it not nice to finaly have hyundai build a car that is capable of competeing with other imports? these new tib gt's are fast, finaly able to put the all important "WHOOP A$$" on jettas, integras, and even the new rsx's...it astounds me that people on a hyundai performance website don't care about PERFORMANCE is insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<img src=/images/forums/snitz/finger.gif width=33 height=15 border=0><img src=/images/forums/snitz/finger.gif width=33 height=15 border=0><img src=/images/forums/snitz/finger.gif width=33 height=15 border=0><img src=/images/forums/snitz/finger.gif width=33 height=15 border=0><img src=/images/forums/snitz/finger.gif width=33 height=15 border=0>

Uhm what do you mean finally? The 4cyl Tib competed rather well with other imports. Oh ad by the way to say we don't care about performance is insane. As of right now it seems the 4cyl Tib can me modded and boosted to produce alot more hp than the V6 tib can.

Also just so you know most of the people rating the car were rating it on looks. Cause the 2003 4cyl Tib is pretty much the same car just with a different body.

I don't know about anyone else on this website, but when someone beats me with a V6 I geive them $#!T because they have an extra 2 cyl on me. I like the way the new one looks AND the idea of V6. <img src=/images/forums/snitz/finger.gif width=33 height=15 border=0>

Jesus Christ..........didn't mean to get nasty, but here.........i'll explain a little calmer, yeah you can mod the hell out of a 4, you can also mod a six, and an equally moded out 6 will demolish a 4. that's just cold hard fact. sorry if no one wants to face the truth about that. With an intake headers and a good exhaust system(reworking) the pipes, you're going to have that v6 tib pushing over 220 hp at the crank, and close to 200 at the tires, there is a turbo and a super charger in the works for the v6 as well, all of this equals----death to 4 banger rice burners! in the end, when all else is equal, there is no replacement for displacement!! now i'm sorry, i don't want to piss any one off, but THAT'S THE DAMN COLD HARD TRUTH!!

Ok let me explain the cold hard facts to you.

#1 I am well aware of the fact that turbos are in the works for the new tib. We are the ones working with Ballistic to develope a TT setup.

#2 Let us go on price. With the money you save on the 4cyl you can put into it and blow the V6 away. You add I/H/E to the 4cyl Tib (aprox $1000) and you are already beating the V6

#3 I know that with the same mods the v6 is stomping the 4cyl but what I said that it is possible to run alot more boost to the 4cyl than to the V6.

#4 It will take a little bit more than I/H/E to add 40hp to even the V6

#5 even though you may have the v6 you are still a rice burner.

#6 <BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>there is no replacement for displacement!! <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>
So why didn't you just go get a V8 then? Cause you sound like a mustang driver.

#7 Why the hell are you even posting this?

Read what a 1.5ltr can be tuned to do.

Most of us here drive 4cyl cars and listen to the same type of crap you are spewing out from people who drive V8s. Then we just take a lil knowledge and some tuning skills then we take their pride down at the tack.

I've killed lots of V6's, Intrepid, Grand Prix ect... I have also taking out two of my friend's V8's and all I have is a 97 Tib FX 2.0L.

So don't talk crap about the 4 cyl's. They're faster than you think they are <img src=/images/forums/snitz/approve.gif width=15 height=15 border=0> <img src=/images/forums/snitz/moon.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>

For the logical reply: most people who don't like it don't like the styling. There are a lot more show than go folks in here, thats all.

As for autobot, just ignore him. He gets sand in his slit from time to time when people don't see things his way.<img src=/images/forums/snitz/laugh.gif width=15 height=31 border=0>

Skierd if you pull that cock out your mouth you will see I didn't flame anyone in this post but simply stated a few of the facts. I am not saying the 4cyl Tib is better than the V6 or is the V6 better than the 4cyl. Just simply stating the fact that they are two different cars and both have tuning potential. It will be fun to see what the V6 will be capable of but don't ignore the 4cyl just cause the v6's are out.
