From this :
2000 RD2


to this :
2010 GC 2.0t










The GC has some large shoes to fill, the Tib was a great car over the last decade.

Future plans are darker tint and black O.Z. Ultralegerra wheels with red spline drive nuts.

Well, at least you got the proper engine package!

Nice car dude! I wish I could afford one of those right now, but alas, I am nothing more than a poor student. However, the PROPER engine package would have been to go for the 3.8L. For that kind of car, I don't think I'd settle for less than the 3.8L GT package. How is it though? I hear the 2.0T is pretty fun to drive, but the 3.8 is stupid fast.

Congrats on the new car and kudos for sticking with what is essentially the successor to the Tiburon!

(P.S. Apparently you live in Ottawa? So do I, whereabouts?)

I'm having one helluva time trying to find a white one. Congrats on the purchase, I test drove a gray V6 last night, definitely some pick up to it. I wonder if I can swap my Tibby seats into it...

Do you mind telling us how much you got off the sticker price?

Very nice except for the black wing. I would want it color matched, but a nice car none the less.

I'm guessing that's the Canadian spoiler? I'd prefer it a little lower profile and white, but once you tint the windows and tails it might have a better flow.

Thanks guys,

I requested the black spoiler because the contrast of the black rear diffuser and my plans on wheels and tint. Don't think I'll tint tails tho.

The 2.0t def. has alot of pick up in manual trans, auto that I test drove not so much. Also the TC button needs to be turned off for any fun. Stupid thing turns on automatically when ever you start the car tho 02.gif

My wife's car does the same thing with the TC. There HAS TO be a setting deep in the programming that where you can turn that off. Might have to give a dealership tech $$ after hours to do it.

hopefully we'll figure out a hack for it soon. I have faith in our community.
