97 max vs. 04 tiburon v6

so i took one of my friends for a ride in my max and now he's dying to race me.

Me:
97 gle max auto
short ram
y pipe (hopefully will come 12/2)
no res
magnaflow muffler

Him:
04 tiburon gt v6 stick
stock

I've beat my friends 04 stratus r/t coupe auto from stop and rolling start. and dead even with 02 3.2tl from 60-90 (cars in the way so we had to slow down).

so do you guys think I can take him?

my guess is nope. hes a stick v6 and you're an auto, period. theres a kid from my work who has the GT manunal tib, those things are pretty quick, why do you think he wants to race you so bad?

would you be running him on the higway or like 0-60 type?

id say the max would win.There quick but there not that quick,i just looked up its times Hyundai Tiburon GT V-6 7.1 15.6.So with your y pipe in you should pull away on him.

Are you assuming he will run out of gas or what?

Stock top end A32 Maxima power sucks, and so does the tibby, but the tibby's power doesn't fall as bad as the Maxima.

I think a manual tibby would take you. Not that a 15 sec car is quick but they are fairly quick for what they are. I had one hang with my SN-95 until about 40 I wasn't launching at all but he was but after that I just played with him.

go from a roll that will somewhat take away his advantage of being a stick their about 7.1 0-60 if I recall so it should be a fairly even race.

There's a forum for street racing and I have 2-3 THREADS in there. So I didn't ever say I didn't do it.

I would like to keep this particular forum a little less littered with street racers, or useless posts asking this and wondering that.

Is there any particular reason why you two don't just effin' race and find the hell out? I mean what's on the line here? $10,000??? Each other's GF for 1 night?? Does the loser have to run around naked in girl's locker room?? Cripes.

those crappy tiburons only have like 200 or 225 hp stock. any vq with mods should be able to take that, specially running a 15.6

Quick cars nonetheless that seem to take mods well. I've had to be careful around em myself and not get suckered in.
