trust me, unless you have tons of money dumped into that Tib you dont wanna run STU

You could, but you would have a better chance in STX...which I think the Tiburon would classify for. But the biggest problem you have in trying to compete in a Street Touring class is your CF hood. That bumps you into SM.

+1 for not going into stu. Stu is littered with Evo's, Sti's and the occasional S4.

so stx would be better? i have my stock hood i can swap back on for racing, but i'd rather not since it's a PITA to get it aligned perfectly

STX has lower powered vehicles that you would have a better chance at competing against and better fits your vehicle. If you're just starting out though, I say just run in SM and don't change anything and practice getting better. After you get more experience, then decide what you want to do as far as prepping your car for whatever class you choose.
