Re: How have Korean shitbox's faired?
We've seen a few Kias and a Hyundai. As I recall, they haven't done too badly (i.e., blown up getting off the trailer). The Ford Festiva is technically a Korean car, and they've done all right in Lemons.

"Suicide is Painless" is a pretty appropriate theme for Lemons...

Last night my friend's 2005 Hyundai Accent 4 door imploded it's passenger side window for no apparent reason. It was just sitting in the driveway. Can you imagine what would happen to one of these crapcans if you tried to drive it hard for 24 hours?

We have IRS, all-aluminum engine and 16 valves, better than nearly every GM, Ford (minus the fake mazdas) and Mopar from the 80s and 90s, thank you.

Even the super-rare turbo variant. Maybe a early 90s Hyundai Excel with an 89 Mitsu Mirage 4G61t in it? 4G63t is a bit too much power for that to safely handle with front Chapman strut and barely a torsion beam rear.

Re: How have Korean shitbox's faired?
A Hyundai? I knew someone who had one of the early sedan models. They claimed it had a turbo. What they actually meant was when they needed more power, like to get up a hill, they hit the button turning off the a/c, thus a boost of power. With so little total h.p., killing the a/c probably doubled or triple its output. At Lemons, I would think any Hyundai that would survive 24 hours of actual motoring time would be dragging up the rear in a most painful wheezing manner.

Chong Li?
Other than that, I don't recommend Kimchi. As a Korean, I can tell you it takes a lot of constitution to withstand prolonged exposure to such a volatile "food".

As a half Korean, I concur.
I still plan on bring some to our next race for Judge Jonny along with some white rice and Bulgogi.
