Actually according to Consumerguide.com, they only have 170 hp (181 tq) and weigh over 2900 pounds...sounds just about like my SE Sport...w/ the exception of more torque obviously...
Hyundai had the same problem recently with their engines that plagued the Miatas and the last NA Mustang SVT Cobras. I read the article recently in a Motor Trend magazine, although I can't find the article online to back myself up. The biggest loss was in the Accents though, so there's not much to worry about.
I'll plainly admit the new Tiburons are dead sexy cars to me (I think mini-me Ferrari 456M) but if I remember correctly, to the person that said they test drove 5 and 6 speed V6 models, the 5 speed is only offered on the four-cylinder Tiburons. Just a clarification.
And yes, they do sound magnificent, up there with the best of our CSVTs.
