No offense my fellow korean brothers and sisters , but when i was in korea, there were kids suping up hyundai tiburons and elantras....i mean , they put nos on it and superchargers. They are 4 cylinder engines. i think.

I mean 4 cylinders is kinda slow, but wouldn't a v6 engine be better?

There is no replacement for displacement. a 2L 4 cylinder motor simply doesnt have the displacement that a 6L v8 would.

the reason I made that comment about the germans, is because the german ability to push engineering to the limit is legendary.

No, Mitsubishi does have a luxury line... just in Japan.. go to the Japanese Mitsubishi Motors homepage... yes i look at japanese hoempages too.... I also look at the jAPANESe Hyundai Homepage.


AND ABOUT 4 CYLINDERS... The only reaason that the Hyundai Tiburon Race car is a 4 cylinder instead of the V6 isbecause the 4 cylinder has a stronger block, Piston Connecting rods and Pistons.. and it withstand high compression.... the v6 cannot. Thats why theres tons of Performance parts for the 4 cylinder Tiburon.. heres a picture of one..

btw. the Tiburon race-car is a V6. not a 4 cylinder. unless your talking about some crazy japanese man who turned a 4 cylinder tiburon into a "ready to blow up" high compression car.
