Tuscani?

Well anyway, don't you have WRX?
I don't think he's going to outhandle my RS.... of course mine isn't stock either.

He can't drive. That's why he wants to come out. I told him about all the stuff we do and he wants to learn his car more so he doesn't kill himself in it one day.

Tuscani is the Korean name for the 2003(there was no 2002) Hyundai Tiburon.

so they didn't make one for 2002, but they had previous years and recent years.... wierd.
Koreans needed a break from their extreme engineering accomplishments or something, huh?

It seems they made good ground with that car. It looks cool as hell if you ask me.... kinda supry (my new word, I just made it up, stands for Toyota Supra-ish Styling)

A korean... copy someone? NEVER!

I was really surprised when I went over to Korea and saw that they still market the Tiburon there. My Brother-in-law was surprised too. He couldn't believe that we're getting their Tuscani for $21k. They go for $30k+ according to him (after insanely high taxes for driving a sports car with a displacement higher than 1999cc).

The Tuscani is a very good car under 20k. For me, I'd get the I4 BETA engine model with the 6spd(pick up the leather seats and other options elsewhere) and work it. The engine is very tunable and loves boost. The v6 Delta 2.7 engine, however is pretty weak and isn't able to be tuned as much. It is known to only hold to about 300hp due to its aluminum block.

FYI: the 97-99 USDM Tiburon were the only Tiburon named models in Korea. In Korean from 2000 to 2001, the Tiburon was renamed to Turbulence and on 2003's model, the Tuscani.
