never said a STOCK GK, was referring to I/H/E.



if someone can pull a 15.7 stock, they probably could pull a 15.6 under the right conditions..



when you say 'tuscani' are you talking about the v6.... a tiburon is a tiburon is a tiburon, tuscani is just a different name for the tiburon.



reading your posts are to confusing...

Socks people running low 15 must be running nitrous of some kind. With stage 4 clutch, 8lbs fidanza flywheel, kspec motor mounts, nrg torque dampener, eibach springs, 93 octane, 8 psi boost, good launch, best time I did 15.4

no, OdessitPashka and the others in the 15 range were completely N/A with I/H/E and possibly 1.8L cam.



just because you can't do it, doesn't mean an experienced driver can't..



Ask anyone who is an old school Rd'er about OdessitPashka and they will tell you it was an N/A run, no nitrous or HUGE N/A mods.

Plus there is quite a bit of variation from car to car which can account for a lot.

He doesn't post here, but my best friend had two v6's. One a 6spd and the other a 5spd. 15.1 and 15.2 out of them. That is at sea level and the runs were in cold weather. The average run was 15.5 or so with zero mods, to include the stock air filter.



140hp vs. 170hp with a good bit more weight = stock delta not to much faster than a beta. Mods make that a different story.



That tib had very light mods and....



The track: Elevation: roughly 4300 ft

Why would you NEG my rep for telling you my f*cking scenario?



Not sure what your deal is dude, but your fresh start is not looking to good a**hole!



People really are attempting to help you including me, until you start thinking your like brillant about cars, you f*cking 17 years old, there are people here with Hyundai that probably drove them off the lot and still have the same f*cking car from the day you where born. My Hyundai has been in the Family sense brand new 13years and counting(Father bought new in 99, and i bought it off my father as most you already know), then i started Moding it when i was your age dude, I wasnt NEG people for telling me there stories, you need to understand not everyone is out to get you till you act like a f*cking dick!



A Tiburon with a 17 year old Dick Face Drive DELETE MOD!!!



YOU > < ME!!!!



YOU > < ME!!!

Watch the video closely..he looses time because the light goes green..........................then he takes off. He lost .5 to .75 if not a full second due to the horrible reaction time. I think it shows his reaction time as .880 if I read the board right as he passes it. So subtract .880 from the 16.2 and you get 15.3 or 15.4

he also got quit a bit of wheel spin/hop by the shaking inside the car recorded on the camera. entirely possible that's a sub 15 second car with a good launch and a better Reaction time.
