not to the tiburon and the interior of the STI is pretty nice.

I just hit the century mark I think it should have had more impact.

FYI the Tiburon used this year as their rally car...4cyl version had either 300 or 400hp look it up.. but that is some power if you ask me... and the STi interior has no leather..and it is BLUE...

However, I would avoid them primarily because they look too functional, and partly because of the owner profile here. All wearing backward baseball caps and playing deafening stereos, just in case you might not have seen them, you will certainly hear them coming. No offense meant to anyone on here who likes them or owns them, it's just my age, the cars are too brash, ugly and uncouth.

Definitely too old if you can spell "uncouth"...

I don't know man, comparing a rally car to a standard production car is like comparing a Nascar to a standard production. Rally cars are generally right around 300hp. In WRC (where the Tiburon isn't) they're limited to 2.0 litre engines roughly 300hp and generally have about 400+ft pounds of torque. Can you imagine 0-60 in like 4 seconds, in the dirt. That certainly isn't how they come off the floor and it takes quite a bit of cake to get them there. For instance Prodrive will sell you a used rally car for about half a million dollars. There just doesn't seem to be alot of aftermarket products for the tiburon ....but yeah the seats are blue....but the dash/console and steering wheel are nice.

yeah, and Chevy races a Monte Carlo in NASCAR. what does that have to do with anything? you don't get a 600hp engine (or whatever hp they use in "the big left turn") if you buy a Monte SS from a Chevy dealer, do you?

...no leather is lighter. STi is not a boulevard cruiser.

Nice car

Very nice car and very very impressive performance!

The only thing I don't like is the goldish rims....I'd put silver or white 18' rims on it, and no pink STi stickers.
