Default Tiburon just TIED a chevy Duramax !!

Ok so one of my friends wanted to race his 550 hp duramax with (he says 720 foot pounds of torque).. Its chipped to rev more and unlock the top speed from 170 to 240.. More im not aware of also..Anyway he wanted to start from a dig..



I said no because I would get no traction.. So we started at 50 km/h... Is AUTOMATIC tranny did not down shift so I took the lead in second gear..When I shifted 3rd he came right up beside me.. And in fourth we staid beside.. Stopped at 170 and he was a nose in front..



Still can't believe what happened..



I love my tib

550hp? The stock duramax run around the same 1/4 you said you ran before. I think he might be overestimating his power output.





No traction? from a 4cyl tib? Calm the rpms down on your launch unless you are running total crap tires. If you are, upgrade them next for a better 1/4 mile. Good tires are better than most bolt on crap you can do.

First, I have seen him on the quarter mile and he does 14,3.. But he gets all this on his takeoff.. And my tires are General Exclaim UHP 215/45/17 so the traction is better than stock .. paid 700 for them

^^^ LOVE the General Exclaim UHP, but how in the world did you pay $700 for them??? I got the 255/45/15 (I think? maybe 215, not completely sure now) for $70 each. Got them a couple years back for $55 each. TireRack.com FTW.

welp being that you have lied about your mods im pretty sure you are lying about this race also, a stock duramax runs 15s STOCK



hell at this point im sure a accent would beat your noob ass, quit acting like a 17 year old like i know you probably are and realize this isnt high school, most of us dont give 2 fucks about who you are and what you drive



its slow and you will be made fun of cuz of it



deal with it

Unless you were racing at a drag strip, which I doubt since you did a rolling start @ 50 KPH...this qualifies as street racing.



Street racing is illegal. Illegal activies are not condoned nor encouraged on this forum.



Please go somewhere else to post of your "ties".
