I never had the car dyno'd, but that 13.7 1/4 mile run was on just 10PSI (no tune), street tires, and an old slightly slipping clutch. I'll be going back to New England dragway with the new stage 3 clutch (already installed), 15-18PSI (tuned via Apexi S-AFC), and some slicks Turbo Tom's letting me use. Aiming for low 12's definetly, gettin the tires to stick is key. If I was to guess my HP based on my butt I'd say around 250-275HP with the boost pressure up.

Damn thats not bad at all. This is whats so hard to vote on! LOL. all you see is the picture so most people just end up voting on what looks the "coolest". Half the time it's just a stock car with an intake and exhaust. My votes always go to the car with the most "love" put into it heh heh...

Agreed. Although I did do the body kit first, I had all the turbo parts ready to go, just was unsure how it would work on the car (still new to it). Worked out fine and got a lot of props for it. Feels god to put that kind of work into yourself and have it all work out...for the most part. I still wish I could legally swap a 4g63T into my LC2. Guess Ill just have to wait to do the Sonata Turbo once it's figured out if it is do able.

My vote goes to the new modded elantra, only because I love them and it will definitely be my next car.

Wow guys.. I am really impressed... I haven't asked one person for a vote... and I am at the top of the list... that shows class on everyone's part... normally these are popularity contests and only prove who has the most friends... not who has done the most work, or has the nicest cars... I am very honored to have made it this far without canvasing for votes...



Even if I don't win...thank you...

Everyone has a different idea of what they like to see, but in general it is much less of a popularity contest here than other sites I have been on.
