A Tiburon you all will fear!! No Joking!

First imagine a picture of the tiburon, not so tough looking and has no noisy exhaust to it.

Tonight was the night for the fastest street cat in our city EL Paso, TX. Well as for the import category this thing blew everything away!This Tuburon is a damn AWSOME car that is just major engineering. I really don't consider this car a street car though, I think it runs on methonol fuel. It was in a feature of some import magazine and won as the fastest street car vs a prshe, fierai, etc.... but lost on every other category besides 1/4mile. It was born here in el paso!!!

I will have to get you all the video's of the domestic races up soon and some more of the competition held here.

wELL i HAVE SEEN HIM RUN A 10.9x HERE IN EL PASO. I admit it I was laughing when I saw him up against some muscle car, but he sure did shut me up fast. I just know that he hits the 1/4mile in that time, not so sure about the trap. Check out the video.

Video doesn't show his trap either but my guess is he's really moving since he ran 10.96 on street tires. I'd say at least 130.

I didn't watch the video, but if its white and its the one that won the ultimate street car challenge, it is bad. 2 motors, 1 in front one in back. the transmissions are independently operated, he's got 2 gear selectors. (yes, its an auto). he puts the rear in drive and the front in reverse, the donuts are MAD! Badass car for sure!
