Hye Peeps,

my Colleague wanted to get a Hyundai Tiburone, asking if there is anything wrong with it, like manufacturing flaws etc etc. If anyone have one of them please post your thoughts and comment about the car. Cheers

If he's after a new one, tell him to hold off a few months - the next model will be RWD.

they are very fast cars! aparently they go faster then a twin turbo supra according to need for speed. jk

nah they seem to be alright despite the hyundai badge. they dont look as bad as the old s'coupe and aparently have pretty decent handling.....for a korean sports car.

If its a female that wants one ok fair enough i can kind of understand that. But if its a male, what makes him want a Tiburon? Honestly i just don't understand why people actually go "Yes i want one of these cars". For the money there are much more sporty/faster/better built cars out there. So whats the appeal of the Tiburon?

wiat till the hyundai genesis coupe comes out in australia prob late 09

3.6l v6 (about 300hp) or a 2l turbo 4 (about 230hp) rwd, 6 speed man - goes hard

the 2.7L v6 tibby's can be supercharged very easily and will trash the pants of a lot of other cars.....

hi peeps thanks for comment I found an article on tiburone, they are fuel guzzler due to bad gear ration, I think it was saying the car will be at 2.5k rpm at 100km, or sumthing. he's decided not to get riburone. cheers guys

He aint getting one because it uses a lot of fuel........the dude doesn't know the meaning of using a lot of fuel, get him to drive a heavily modified skyline for a few weeks to truely appreciate the word "fuel consumption".

my mum has one. the one before they updated it.

its a good little car.

manuals are better, my mums is an auto. a very shit auto, tiptronic that changes by itself and doesnt hold gears.

other than that, its a good car to drive.

and its pretty good on fuel too.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
