Alright so i went into the myspace forum and asked them about tibs and they all just busted on them over and over and over again. It doesn't make sense cause i hear of all these guys making all this power on this site. They all claim that tibbys are really slow and the money put into them to make them fast isn't worth it. they compare them to supras and 240sx, but to make them just as fast as a tibby it would cost even more. how heavy are the rd2s???? i heard they were monsterously heavy, but they only weigh 26** lbs??? that doesn't make sense. WTF. why does everyone hate on these things? this is more to the turbo'ed guys cause i know a stock or a n/a tibby is slow as balls.

Anyone who compares an n/a tib to a supra is just retarded anyway. Who cares, we beat them in shows, and some of us beat them on the track too. Nuff said.
BTW, RDs weigh very little.
Also, there's plenty of N/A RDs putting out some good power, OP himself with only about $300 invested into his tib ran a 15.1. Add a few more mods and you're easily into the 14s.

LOL, they compare n/s Tib to a turbocharged Supra lmao.gif lmao.gif lmao.gif

Why don't compare Supra to something like Porsche GT2 or Ferrari Enzo. GT2 and Enzo will be much faster and they don't need cash investment on modding.

It's crazy! Why not compare a school bus with a Tib and say - Tib is bad, cause look how many people can get into the bus, and only 4 ppl (or 5 hardly) can get in the Tib...

Well on the heaviness factor they may be thinking about the GK's and assume that the RD's weigh the same, dumbasses.

Reading that forum is making me annoyed with all the bs. So many people are talking like they know everything about a tiburon and they are meshing rd's and gk's into the same car. Anyway read this, I thought it was funny too (it is a post made by the thread starter who is looking into a tiburon).

"well, i found out alot of info about the tib.. and alot of you are wrong... the tib is only 2600 lbs... which isn't alot at all. the newer ones are 3200 lbs... i think thats what you are talking about. with the 00-01 rd tiburons, they can make up to 350 whp with almost all stock internals. Many of the people on rdtiburon.com have reached over 500 hp and gotten in the 11's.(not with two f***in engines) i dont understand why you think they are shit? being from korea has nothing to do with them.... and the only heavy cars there are are the new gen... which i think are ugly."

Lol, now who's hiding their 500hp rd's???? *sarcastic*
