Being an avid car enthusiast myself and have done HUGE modifications to my SS. I think it would be pretty sweet if Foreign vendors would make Header back exhaust, different variations of High lift cams, Turbos, FMICs, Superchargers , Powertuners etc....I know this type of thought has even crossed their paths but I feel very strongly it may start to draw a croud if the built a demo car..tuned it and tested it for durability. The 06-07 Sonata 3.3 would be a beast no doubt...with 235 HP those mods I listed would easily take it over 300 HP...wouldn't a supercharger look sweet in the engine bay?!

LOL here is a teaser of my other beast

Well, I guess I better show one of my other beasts :thumbsup:

Time to run 'em ! What is that, an SS what ?

I hear ya though about parts for the 06/07 Sonata. I don't think it will be much longer at all before they start coming out with cat-back systems (already a couple out there), headers, chips (a couple for older model Sonatas out there), etc. Not sure about cams with the VVT but I guess they could do it. It would probably take more in R&D than they would make back on those. Larger throttle bodies and bigger injectors I could definitely see to go along with a chip.

They came out for the older Sonatas because they Tiburon had the same 2.7 delta as the older sonata. Now only if they would put the 3.3 in the Tiburon we would see so much aftermarket performance parts

Madderhatter..it is an 05 Impala SS...here is another pic.and a quick vid needs tuned badly...She is sleeping for 2 years while i head to korea this comming weekend..i have BIG plans for when I return..is that a 5.0 thunderchicken or stang..what year

Now back to the subject at hand..yes the VVT might be an issue but some high lift cams , some bigger injectors, headers, exhaust, and some nice tuning or dyno tuning would bring a low 15 sec car to a 13 easy...nobody would expect it out of "JUST A SONATA" LOL

:offtopic: (don't move it please) :)

Ky,
Does Sonata with "Soul" know you're doing this? How many yards/window stickers can you do/buy? :thumbsup:

I'd like to hear the Pony run. Rather watch it toast a Camaro or a Vette. No offense Ed. But Chevy's place is a well known......2nd. :trophy: :innocent:

BTW Doobies rock! (the band that is) :gitara:

On topic edit: Modding a new car with factory warranty? Hmmmm I'd supercharge my V-6 Pony but not my car with factory warranty. Just a 48 YO thought.

I too have been alittle let down by the aftermarket scene for the late model sonatas. I sure hope it picks up some.

Very nice ride madderhatter... I know with 542 rwhp it's a beast!!!
This is my buddies 89 that he had for sale (just sold it yesterday). It only 343 rwhp and it's still one of the hardest pulling cars I have ever been in... I can only imagine what yours must feel like... LOL

The videos don't work for some stupid reason and I didn't feel like fixing them since he sold it now, but they are of it on the Dyno Machine.

89 Mustang

I would love to see performance mods too, but like Seoul said, start emailing and writing parts makers or we arent gonna get squat.

The sonata is not a big market for mods like these, and unless we make our voice heard nothing will happen.

OH NOOOOEZZZ @ SONATA WITH SEOUL
