thats not true about rwd better then fwd on grip track. there is a video of a professional driver who bashes on fwd cars and says rwd is better. then when hes on the track hes 10 secs behind the leading fwd car. and his s2k's rear axle breaks off.
plus if anyone knows nikki tam here in norcal he has won 1st place many times in the grand prix with his RHD integra type r.

Honda Challenge is not a place to be comparing car dynamics. The drivers are far from equal, as are the budgets. I have raced with many of the drivers that were in the video you are speaking of. NASA pro racing is a joke compared to even SCCA Pro Racing. Try watching a few Speed GT races, then turn on ALMS, DTM, and any Euro or Foreign touring car series and tell me how many FF cars you see running near the front.

I guess you are doing this to be original and because you love your car. I can't really hate on you for that. It's not what I would do, but we are different people, so my opinion is irrelevant. Just don't get sucked into a big money pit project. Good luck.

Good job on the tibby. Keep it up. It's a good looking car. You've shown a mature response to what have been needless criticism. Post up a vid when you get everything sorted out. Will be cool to see.

I just ran into one this morning on my way to the bank, it was quicker than I thought. The only thing I noticed was that he had an aftermarket exahust. Alhtough he put up a fight he fell behind rather quickly, the owner was an educated young man who gave thumbs up and I replied with a nice car and thumbs up. I hope Hyundai some day can make the Tiburon a respectable car since its debut the design has being great. Good Luck!

Wow the members here were really slamming you hard. I give you a big for keeping your kool b/c i dont think i could have kept my composure. In any event good luck w/ the mods and hope everything comes out like you want. But even if you beat an s2k, there will always be a faster car out there. Then what??? Are you gonna wanna beat Z06's next??
