Nice looking car... Any reason for your choice to build that car?

 

gorgeous looks, cheap sticker price, a great community of Hyundai weirdos and a V6 when the competition was only offering 4-cyls. now that its pretty much fully bolted it'll run with just about everything in its class of cheap FWD coupes... which has shrunken down to just about nothing lately, LOL. plus, its not a honda.

 

I like it. Intersting voltmeter guage placement too.

 

nice car.. i have a cobalt ss supercharged that i am into along with my xj. its a huge money pit but now has almost 350 front wheel hp. just need to retune... i like tuners. they are fun fast and get amazing gas milage

 

nice car that is the only Hyundai have seen that i would own and they are pretty sporty to from what i have seen

 

Very nice car!

 

Clean car. Yeah you're right, 'snot a "honduh".

 

Clean looking car

 

Sharp.

 

I saw they made one Hyundai with like 400HP from the factory! I don't know it's name but it was fast.

 

thanks guys. my XJ has a somewhat serious oil leak so ive been driving the car on any trips longer than a few miles.

heres some pics from the UMASS motorsports car show this weekend, there were lots of cars and probably 6 or 7 XJs there.. got a few nice shots of them climbing the ramp.

 

How much HP did the NSX have? How much did the GTO dyno? The black XJ was looking good. Were they the Baja claws group or what? HAhaha.

 

the NSX was comptech supercharged, i think the owner said somewhere around 360whp... took best import of show.. it was a marvelous, clean car. the GTO put out about 330whp if i recall correctly on the dyno bone stock.

i honestly dont know enough about jeeps to tell you what was going on with them, LOL, but that guy in the black one came DAMN close to rolling it. heres the rest of the jeeps....

 

That sounds about right for the GTO it was a 405HP car stock and that NSX looks very cool. And I have never seen so many sets of Mickey Thompson tires in my life! HA
Look at the girl in the back ground beside the guy in that Orange shirt. I have seen that face before. She looking at the XJ like it was made of Crap!
