I drove a Tiburon GT (with the V6) before I bought my MCS, and I can tell you it wouldn't stand a chance against your car. Not even a fair race. Tell your friend it sucks to be him. LOL!

yes, actually, in a race, 0-gay, the tib will cream you (quite literally possibly)...the chrome wheels give him a 4 car length head start in said 0-gay race......just saying...

You were a week 27 build, if you ordered the alarm system it should be factory installed if you ordered it with your Mini. If not, I believe they run $225 (according to the accessories section of the online configurator) plus installation. If you ordered it factory installed, they run $400.
