Last night, I picked up the May issue of SCC and so far I think it's great, but I have a few questions. First, in the story on the "2001 USCC" and the cars that could be in it, you guys showed a twin-engined 1998 Tiburon owned by Michael McIntyre. This wouldn't happen to be the Tiburon here in El Paso that I'm hearing about?
I've heard about it for almost a year now, everyone is telling me he runs 11s and walks down sport bikes! I remember a turbo Tiburon here (a friend of mine owned it and he worked for Hyundai), but for some reason, Hyundai didn't know what they were doing because they didn't install a blow off valve, I never saw an intercooler and he was running very high boost. The car lasted for about three weeks until the engine blew.

(reply from editor) Also, the Tiburon is indeed based out of El Paso and there's a good chance you'll be seeing more of it in the magazine at a later date.

Hyundai didn't know what they were doing????
Hyundai didn't put the turbo in his car so why would they put a blow off valve and intercooler in it?
It sounds like his friend didn't know what he was doing!
