RE: A HYAUNDI Sonata???!!!
Got the APR Stage III turbo kit, RS4 intercoolers, GIAC chip 93 octane software, APR R1 Diverter valves, and an APR catback exhaust. This will stop most cars or it looks like they're stopped

RE: A HYAUNDI Sonata???!!!
We need to look at this realistically, my car is a 2000 and it had 250Hp back then when Hyundai was still scratching their asses. It only took them 7 years to develop a motor that can compete with ours. Look at our cars compared with the Sonata, Camry and Maxima, there is no comparison inside or out, and they sure as hell do not have the handling or braking we have and our cars are heavier.
Just do what alot of us have done, modify your car correctly and you'll still kick their ***, I know I have!
Those cars have no style that sets them apart from others anyway, who the f*ck would want to own one!
Down with the rice!
OOOO

How is a front wheel drive maxima outhandle an AWD Audi? I will take that bet all day.. That boils down to the driver. Modify a sport suspension (AUDI)with sway bars and coilovers and you will be pulling away from mosteverything through corners and straights. I have a 4.2 sport and my buddy has a 3.5 Maxima (05). From a dig it is close. He weighs less and those 3.5's are torquey. -- still, to 75mph he was barely on my quarter panel. I did'nt blow him away but he wasn't going to catch me. Keep in mind we both autocrossmanual 2 seater sports cars on the track (1970 Datsun Z and Porsche 911 -1978) so we know how to drive.We even traded cars, and even though the maxima is no slouch, I simply did'nt have the torgue to catch up to the 4.2.We tried fom a roll and it was simply no contest. I kept pulling and pulling. The 4.2 is a freeway monster. Now, the 2.7t only has 50 less HP.0-60 times are 6.5-6 for the 2.7t and the 4.2 is 6.1-2. Pretty comparable.
What sets it apart for me (besides the performance) is the styling. Yes, hyundai has come along way. My mom had a 1988 GLS..Was a POS but hyundai has come along way and the sonata isn't bad. The camry is overstyled and for the 265 HP the sticker boasts was a complete slouch...blah!Those cars have always been boring in the styling interior/exterior department. Nissan looks the best in my opinion but it is still a Japanese car and therefore a ricer. Period!

Its a bit of topic, but i got eaten by a 07 Lexus GS350 AWD. I really love to direction that lexus is going. After Audi, those would be my next prospect. With a 0-60 of 5.1 and a 1/4 mile of 13.9 its a respectable car, not to mention a greatAWD system, good fuel economy and a 3.5LV6 with 306HP. Did I forget killer good looks?Seems they are shifting away from the rest of the ricers.....
Also, My dads 07 Passat 3.6 4motion WAGON is neck in neck with me everywhere but 95mph and up on the highway.
