my dad works for hyundai and said he hasent heard anything for the 2008 tiburon line. when they do release the tibby though im sure it will be the same.

there are more powerful FWD cars that dont seem to have bad torque steer.

im noit basing my decision on just spec sheets. i just found it very interesting. i dont know about you guys, but hyundais 2.7L v6 could easily have 200+ hp, instead of 173. it is a terribly underpowered engine. i tihnk their next move should be either putting the 4 cyl into the gt, and turbo it. or...

rsx

i just realized that acura rsx's have horrible torque. ive narrowed down my search to wither the rsx or the tiburon. but the tiburon has like 40 less hp and 40 more ft lbs of torque. that seems odd to me that the acura would have low torque. and the fact that the base model has the same torque and a...

i just realized how torque-y the srt4 is. thats why my stomach felt like it was in the trunk when he floored it. 250 ft lbs stock...give or take. hes probly pushing around 290-300 ft lbs. maybe a little less. thats more torque than any other car around the same HP.
