awd..... September 08, 2005, 01:09:56 PM QuoteIt also produced the most impressive burnout ever put rubber on tarmac. Michael McIntyre's twin-engine Hyundai put 627 hp to the ground in our dyno competition. It did the same thing here--in a completely different way. McIntyre's car uses two independently controlled automatic transmissions, giving him the ability to operate them in drive and reverse at the same time--which is exactly what he did. The resulting automotive tug of war was enough to send any chassis engineer into convulsions.With the front tranny in reverse and the rear in drive, McIntyre laid into the go pedal and didn't lift until he'd made enough tire smoke to put California's Air Resources Board on high alert. The car began to slowly rotate on its axis as all four drive wheels fought each other for dynamic control. In about 10 seconds, the entire car was engulfed. When it was over, the ground was covered with smoldering piles of rubber and the most confused burnout marks ever made. He won. No one else even came close. Quote Selected

I think you may have that backward - Hyundai has traditionally used reworked Mitsu engines - unless things have come around 180 degrees (like they did with Ford/Mazda - Mazda made the original Courier for Ford, now Ford makes the B-series for Mazda) Quote Selected

Less than inspiring, to say the least. Uhm, excuse me Hyundai. Why is it you can only squeeze 173hp out of a 2.7L DOHC 24v V6? And why does it feel like it accellerates like a Yugo?To put that in perspective, the Celica GT-S was making 180hp with a 1.8L DOHC 16v I4. Quote Selected
