Tiburon vs. Rx8

My Manager has a 2007 automatic tiburon, and I have a 2004 manual rx8, and he keeps saying he'd smoke me in a race, neither of us have any performance parts, can some one tell me who would win or stats or something? Thanks

Do you and all of us a favor and sell your car.

Tiburon - FWD, 172 crank horsepower

Rx8 - RWD, 232 crank horsepower

Nuff said.

You could look up road tests for both cars, and see what the reported 0-60 times are.

Or, if you guys are really into cars, why don't you find a drag strip and find out? Have something riding on it. Like if you win you get a raise. If he wins, he gets to come to you at 4:59 on a Friday afternoon and tell you to work the weekend.

Or maybe the bet could be to get the other guy's girfriend for a night.

The possibilities are much wider than just asking a forum for an answer.
