Ladies and gentlemen,

you remember that dual engine tiburon from many years back? It used to be in a whole bunch of magazines for doing the nastiest burnouts, etc. If you don't, I don't care.

It's for sale. 19k

And honestly, you can say whatever you want about polishing a turd, but with a little bit of cleanup and some de-riceification, I would drive the ever living shit out of this vehicle.

Mike

"There is just one gas tank for the two engines, but it has been moved to inside of the front bumper to improve traction to the front wheels by adjusting the weight distribution."

i'd pimp it.

2/9/2006 1:28:24 PM

As nifty as that'd be, I don't think I'd fair too well in the long run; i.e. maintenence, value, etc.

Mike

2/9/2006 1:30:46 PM

probably not, but it has lasted a few years already. still would be fun as hell for a while though. really not a bad price for what's gone into it.

2/9/2006 1:33:30 PM

didn't it run alki?

i mean it did in the magazine i read but maybe it just injection and i read it wrong.

2/9/2006 2:04:45 PM

I think it's full-on FI and everything. I asked the guys about the motors; they said they were both stock motors with turbo setups and forged rods, and that was about it. They said it hasn't been driven much since 02.

I'd be a little wary that things are wearing out ...

Mike

2/9/2006 2:24:34 PM

probably just methanol injection...

2/9/2006 2:43:26 PM

2/9/2006 3:16:16 PM

2/9/2006 4:25:12 PM

^very true

2/9/2006 6:32:13 PM

it has to have meth injection cause it has no intercooler and 300hp out of a stock motor + boost would need some way to blow off steam... thats almost double the original hp.

2/9/2006 7:08:49 PM

Engine: 8 - Cyl.

hahahahahah

i was right the first time

2/9/2006 8:01:32 PM

Wait,

Does it say that in the articles? Or are they just assuming the buyer will know it runs on methanol...

...or am I missing something? I'm just too lazy to read those tiny ass articles..

Mike

2/9/2006 8:04:01 PM

it said it in the articles... i asked online i guess they're hunting for the people who have read about it 10 times over... like i said in the beginning i thought i remembered it running on alki.
it failed the mileage test because of it but pwned everyone in emissions.

do you want to design a manual transmission to control the power from two engines?

2/10/2006 10:34:17 AM

A valid point.

Mike

2/10/2006 7:30:50 PM

its 2 autos

2/10/2006 7:58:36 PM

Someone designed a 2 engine 1g turbo DSM that was a beast. It was auto as well.

2/10/2006 9:27:01 PM

The whole, it's an auto thing was a joke. I guess that was missed by everyone but me.
