Er... oh well, if you want to, you can look up my license plate # and rape me or something, I'll have some interior pictures in a few minutes when it gets dark. That's when the interior shines.

It's really fast. The other day, I raced a 5.0 v8 with some modifications and whooped him. Not sure what all he had done or what the stipulations were, but I go to school with him and know he fixed it up a pretty good bit.

As far as MSRP, I think it goes for around 21. I had to go about 350 miles away to get what I wanted because they are quite rare around my parts.

Why bother blanking out your license plate, I figure...much more likely to be shot by some nutjob with a loaded gun in their glovebox :D

Nice looking car, hope it holds up well for you (supposedly Hyundai is getting better). MSRP of 21k for this car would make it pretty much fully loaded. Every Hyundai I see around here is owned by some ricer who thinks when the paint on their fartcan matches the LED's in their windshield wipers, their whip is pimped...

Does Hyundai have a bad rep? Just out of curiousity. I haven't really heard anything negative about them, but I keep hearing stuff that's hinting towards a bad rep. Either way, it's got a 10 year warranty.

Haha, I hate ricers. It screws the car over. Especially those ones that make their own car club and then draw a sign for it on a piece of posterboard and put it in their windshield. Not the whole piece of posterboard, mind you, but the part that has writing on it. That's what someone at my school did, makes me so mad cause it's a 93 nissan something or another. Oh well.

I live in Alabama. It's a fairly quiet neighborhood, but I grew up in Iowa, so I haven't really adapted to the lifestyle here.

ImageShack just died so I'll post pictures of my seats in a few minutes. They're my favorite, or close to it.

Haha, have trouble believing it then, but it happened. It may have been that he didn't know what he was doing or he messed up or something, but it sure as hell isn't a lie.

I'm not sure why, but I love the seats. The simple design of them is pure absolution. And now, the seats with flash.

Yeah, it shouldn't be able to take a V6 mustang easily.

172 hp @ 6,000 rpm

181 lb-ft. @ 3,800 rpm

The kid probably messed up his car "modding" it. :)

Hyundai doesn't have the best rep, mainly because they are Korean and Korean cars have an overall bad rep for one reason or another. I think Hyundai has came a long way in the last couple of years. It's a nice looking car but it'd be described peppy at best. Still probably fun to drive if you have the 6spd.

Heh, I'm still in high school, so it's the best I could do. Oh well, they have a great warranty, so if it so happens that anything DOES go wrong, I think most of it will be covered.

And as far as peppy, are you talking about speed or looks?

585824763[/snapback]

Its a great car for a HS student. I meant peppy as in speed. Like its responsive but not so much powerful. :)

Just don't put stickers and stuff on it and it will stay a good car. :)

Which transaxle is it?

nice car man, I have a Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai has come a looooong way so don't listen to any of the Hyundai bashers. Really great cars for a great value, couldn't be happier with mine.

However, the part about racing a v8 and winning, yeah I dont really believe that, lol. If you have the base Tiburon its the same engine as my Elantra, and even if you got the v6 no way is it faster then a v8.

Still, great car, I think youll love it!

It's FWD. If I do anything, it sure as hell won't be stickers ^_^

And why would I make up beating a 5.0? If you've read past posts, they've offered many optional reasons as to why I may have beaten him. I'm not even sure if it was a v8, I'm just going off the assumption that all 5.0s at that time were v8s. I'm so much of a noob at racing and stuff though, I won't even try and sound smart, but won't weight have somewhat of a factor in it? I know it won't be enough to factor a win, but I'm just curious. Thanks.

Nice on your elantra, they're nice cars.

By transaxle I meant transmission (yransaxle because it is FWD) :)

Is it 6spd, 5spd manual, or auto.

All 5L mustangs are V8. :) That's be a big cylinder in a V6. :)

What year was it? There are a number of reasons you could have beat him. A car is only as good as the driver... at least sometimes. :)

You could have raced from a stop and you started first, and you didn't go very far. Basicly street racing negates any kind of bragging rights. And don't go aroud telling people your faster than the GT. :)

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
