No, Matt, you confused me with the OP.

I'm glad to hear that.

Matt

For those of us who are too CHICKEN (or too sensible) to open up the car, here is a nice little movie of an 06 Hyundai Sonata running from 0-133mph.

Direct link warning!

Enjoy!!!

We should treasure our idiots that take risks. We are a nation of descendants of risk-taking idiots.

I do not condone driving 130mph, but I defend anyone's right to do it... safely, on empty roads, of course. The Government has no right to protect us from our own stupidity, because the Government is more stupid than us. :)

So Matt, why in hell do you drive 130mph? Explain yourself!!!

I was an EMT back in the day when speed was the main lifesaving tool. We drove sleek, powerful station wagons and converted hurst's. We used to cross the Lake Pontchatrain causeway in as little as 15 minutes. We saved many lives, and nobody was ever hurt.

I fall into the second camp, but on a track it would be a hoot. Any idea which model Sonata this was? It seemed to accelerate too fast above 100 MPH to be a 4 cylinder, yet the shifting sounded like it was a standard shift, which isn't available with the V-6.

Matt

I'm not at all against taking risks. I ride motorcycles, fly airplanes, etc. It is wantonly placing others at risk that I object to and which is what was described here. You are confusing taking risks with being stupid.

Replace road above with track and I'm with you 100%.

Matt

I don't. Where did you get that idea?

Matt

Ya, it was an 06 LX, with about 1500 on the odometer. I love the engine sound. The tranny sounds a lot better in that movie than it actually is. It sounds like it's shifting crisply, but that's deceptive.

It was a V6. With the pedal floored, it does sound a bit like a manual shift. Even more so if they were using the "manumatic" or whatever Hyundai calls it.

Eric

Yes, I test drove a couple of V-6s and even shifting the auto in the manual mode it didn't sound like the one in the video which is what I was wondering about. Now, my 4 cylinder does sound more like that if I shift at 6 grand. :-)
