Re: My 89 Vs. Tib.
4 cyl. or V6 GT? If it's the 4 banger you've got this one in the bank, the V6 MIGHT give you a bit of a run. If you had gears (3.42) you'd stomp his a$$ like nobodies business.

Re: My 89 Vs. Tib.
Doubtful, those cars have NO TOP END. I used to work for Hyundai and I know for a fact on what these slugs can do. I raced one from a 30 mph roll and even after 110 he was 6 cars behind. From a dig it was worse. If you don't get hit with the horrible one wheel peel I wouldn't worry to much.

Re: My 89 Vs. Tib.
if you go from a roll you lost your advantage, from a dig, a 170hp 250 torque will own a tib, your 1-3 gears are alot stronger

Re: My 89 Vs. Tib.
In my case my car weighs 3080 with me in it (2900 without) and I'm a tad far from stock. Still tuning though so there's still more in it.
