i was driving home today in my girlfriends tiburon and i saw a rx-8 coming up pretty fast behind me. when he got up next to me, he started pacing me. so we punched it and went from 65mph, i started pulling on him right away and hit 140mph and had him by about three cars. i was pretty impressed with her car.

Good kill, but who gets credit for the kill the driver or owner of the car.

Tiburons can hit 140? I thought they had a rev limit at around ~125MPH :dunno:

But its a rotary so down time should be about the same.
I still vote on slow, although you seem to have a good point, if I go fast my crankwalk light turns on

Those Rx-8s are way overrated. BTW check out a Issue of Car and Driver or Road & Track it will tell u the specs on a stock Tiby i think they only have like 175 horse right?

140mph in a tiburon. How many cups a capuccino did you drink to stay awake while this all took place.

That's not true at all. I have had my Tib to 138, and it was still pulling. I have the pics to prove it. People just say all the things that the Tib can and can't do because it's a Hyundai, which is old news. The Tib is a good car, not the fastest not the slowest :)

It was 2:00 in the morning in the middle of bum fuck kansas, there was only the two of us on the road. and have you ever tried to hit 140 in a tiburon? how do you know it can't be done? if i gave two shits about what you thought, i would take video of it and post it up, but seeing as how i don't have anything to prove to you, i won't. i know how fast i was or was not going, so for all i care, everyone could call bs on it, and it wouldn't bother me. i just thought you guys might like to hear about it.

Too much sand in your vagina, jesus. I've got a friend with an 04 GT 6-speed and it will take like 3 hours to get to 140 after ~120-125MPH, seriously, not downing the cars because I do like the new updated model, would be a decent daily driver, but the cars are slow, even I can call TT&L for this.

People why is every1 hatin so much, the girl posted a pic with the speedo at 137 or so there's your proof.

Ack my pride! :nono:
I wasn't even referring to the girl good sir. I've been in my friend's (girl) Tib GT before and we did take it to about 140 but it was in around 3 minutes of WOT time. Maybe instead I should have said "That race must have dragged on for a bit, but I <3 tibs and plan to jack off to one tonight"
Next time I'll be sure and suck a peepee before I make any sarcastic cracks...
Good kill
Edit - On a side note, I plan on crying in a corner as my car cuts off around 115.
