i really want toget this sense the whole evolution project that i was hoping to happen won't so basically the 10g down payment i made for the evolution will probably go towards the 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT. Plus the trade in of my beaten grand am

I would like peoples advice on the car ? hey its got a 6 speed manual

here is a pic

They are nice looking cars, and quick but I just can't get over the fact that they are a Hyundai. I still remember the freakin Hyundai Pony........

They overrate horsepower (it is less than 181) and torque speaks a lot for grand ams. To me the car looks ok, but I still think I like the GAGT and sound of the GAGT better. Hyundai has come a long way, but you can still feel their mistakes when you step into the interior. Leather seats feel like they are made of vinyl over cardboard over a cement core. They are not comfortable. And it seems like the GAGT has more room inside from my experience. I think the 6 speed, warranty, and price is what makes the Tiburon GT a better value, but I wouldn't change from a GAGT to one unless I had a lot of problems with the GAGT.

To Small! Only a V8 would make me drive something that small. I don't think a car has to be tiny to be sporty. I won't go any smaller than my GA. Infact, my next car has to be bigger.

red how big is your family that a ga isn't enough

[waffler]

the car actually has less then 160hp and i think its a little bit heavier then what they show cause i know someone who owns one and he said its a 3000lb car

it has to have more horse power than a ga because it beat a ford mustang gt ay english town this summer

[Goober]

first..... i dont think theres neway in hell it would beat a GT... maybe the normal V6 but i dont think the GT second of all.. I just looked it up... Tiburon GT weighs 3015 lbs.

Ya what chu smokin foo?!? wtf A tiburon GT beating a Mustang GT!!?!? Yeah right!! I guess the GT must have been firing on only 6 cylinders or something. BTW, a new stock Grand Prix GT beat an '03 SVT Cobra, I saw it!!!

it could have been a v6 with gt badges i don't know but none the less it beat the mustang

[BransAm]

That car is really sweet yes it is. But that car is not all its cut out to be. It is a bang for the buck but......... That car is running the same exact i mean same exact numbers my Stock Grand Am GT is. Now wuts up wit that? I thought it was supposed to be a rocket? Its no way in hell i'd step outta my comfartable roomy GA into something alot smaller and it runs the same numbers my car is running now while its stock.( Except for the CAI)

If it came wit that from the factory then it would be sweet. But you can put a SC on a GA too so its nothing really exciting.
