wow, i seriously sat there and watched that whole thing, thinking there was going to be a race.. and ikept thinking, well there's still enuff time for them to race left... long intro tho... then about 2 mins in i go... "these guys made the crappiest race video, too much lead up, it's boring"... then the last 39 seconds went by and i go... there was no race... then i think to myself, why did this get posted on our forums in the first place?

I think that a chick was driving that S2000 and the guy was just stalking the shit out of her.

and also how long will it last after it has been made fast?
Pretty long if it's a boosted Hyundai Beta 2.0L engine on stock internals.

Just because you have this stereotype of Hyundai's being garbage doesn't mean everything about them is cheap.

That they control their production cost effectively and have a almost 0 legacy costs. Hyundai has been one of the better performing car companies over the last few years.

Now, don't take my admiration of them as a company as admiration of their cars. I like them for what they are, but they aren't making any sports cars right now and even if the tiburon can be made fast that doesn't necessarily make me want one as it isn't a sports car. They are developing one soon though...

I own a tib still, it was my first new car. About the only problem they have mechanically is the transmission. The clutches tend to be quite weak.

Other than that they are great cars, and run well. Not sure why people assume they are so cheaply made. I'd say overall quality is just as good as new civics, rsx's, rx8's, etc. They handle very well too, I'd say better than my g35c. Interior quality is very good.

Now back to the video. I saw that one as well and just assumed that it was incorrectly labeled. It should be labeled "tib owner stalks s2000".
