that tiberon couldnt possible be the 6cyl. that had to be a 4 banger version cuz as good as the 8 handles in turns, we all saw how bad that driver was at lines and the 8 actually pulled on it in the straights. the straights should be the tiberons saving grace. the turns (unbelievably) were where the hyundai gained ground. pathetic

yes ... i vent through his videos and it is 2L ... rx8 is slightly faster then tiburon V6 in strait line (stock for stock) since tiburon so pluged up with restrictions.

You gotta be ****** kidding me. That's some of the worst "driving" I've ever seen. He (or she, more likely, damn) had no business being out there. Zero comprehension of how to actually drive a car. Zero. None. How can you go to a track, A TRACK!!!, and not how to drive? I wouldn't want to be parked in the same parking lot as that numb nut.

Sure, probably one of the worst drivers I've ever seen....but at least it's better to see it at a track trying to get better than a drag strip getting eaten alive...

People go to the track to learn, for all you know that dude was probably scared, never pushed the car to the limit.

HPDE's are not competition, the purpose is to learn. That's why they have different skill levels and classes.

A bad driver can make the fastest car slow. Lewis Hamilton could be in a Dodge Ram and lap me even if I was in his F1 car
HAAAA....I love it.

You are obviously very patient and very kind, and I get what you're saying, but I just don't think it's a learning experience if you don't have the slightest idea what a line is. I don't care if I see somebody miss an apex, or turn in a little too early, or accelerate too late, but to drive like that? Dude. I'd go watch some racing. I'd read and research and ask questions before heading out there. I'd get a friend to teach me or show me, or I'd follow him.

It reminds me of watching people golf for the first time. Some folks head right out to course and try to play. Whatever. You can do that, but that's just not me. It's so damn obvious they haven't invested even an hour to learn some basics. When you golf like that, youll get better eventually, but it takes a loooooong time, and most of that time is wasted.

That person needs some serious lessons before getting out there and possible causing an accident and hurting himself and others.

He/she sucked.
