The sad part is it is so freaking obvious, they didn’t even attempted to sound objective. :lol I bet you $10 bucks this entire article will be in Hyundai’s brochure.

Hmmm.

The car costs $30,000 and it only runs a low 14" quarter mile.

What’s this world coming to?

I know that my Stage 2 Balt ain’t no M3, but I can turn a low 14" quarter and my car only cost 20k (WITH Stage 2 installed).

I also get better gas mileage too …
