Saw the tail lights of a Hyundai (WTF???)
I was on my way in to work yesterday for the night shift. I decided to make a steady acceleration for the last stretch (I think it's about 3/4 mile). I was minding my own business passing all the traffic when I decided that it was enough and kept a steady speed. Suddenly I notice a yellow Hyundai Tiburon closing and passing me on my left. I pushed a little, but knowing I had to get off the exit didn't want to make the hard stop 300yds later, decided that 83 mph was enough. After he passed me contiuing on the highway, I noticed that there was not only a passenger in the front seat, but also one in the back seat!!! (WTF?????) I was so embarrassed. And I wasn't even racing!!! He didn't even seem to break a sweat. I'll tell you what, I'll know the next time I see that yellow Tiburon. It's on.

Well, your driving a 1993 GXE, which makes your car the slowest of the bunch.
What year was this Tiburon? The 2003 Tiburons have a V6 180HP engine option. The older ones....well...youve got a GXE. Haha. Just kiddin..

so whats the point?? since you weren't racing, he just sped by and passed you since you held a constant speed....ummmmm, its not rocket science! 
I mean what do you expect to see if you slow down and let a car pass you...the headlights???

I guess I didn't make it clear that I sped up when he began to gain on me.

Anybody see the Tiburon in SCC a couple of months back? He put a turbo on the front engine. Then he intalled an identical turboed engine where the back seat used to be. Each engine drove one end of the car.
His car dynoed at ~3?? hp per engine. He ran 10 second 1/4 miles without even trying or spinning a wheel! Of course, it wouldn't turn worth a crap but who cares?

Yes we would turn worth a crap if done right. Do you not remember the Cosworth rally cars? They have an engine in the front and the back, and as I recall, they could turn (slide?) better than the rest
