ya I'll admit, them Sti's are sweet! My buddy wants to get one and he said he can do some sort of access port thing to add around 25HP? Is this true?

What did I expect from an S2K worship site? Nothing but stupidity.

I wish you guys were closer, I'd re-flash the stock map (leaving only my catted down-pipe as a mod) and own all your asses.

I have a well tuned Stage 2 STi and I actually played with a S2000 with a VAFC, intake, exhaust, headers and a tune last night and I pulled on it by 2 cars from 50mph-120mph.... he was in third the first run and then used 2nd gear on the second race in which I pulled 2 and half cars on him.

He says he traps at 105-106 mph at the track. So I guess my car is trapping in the 108-109mph range? I don't know.. but I wasn't too impressed I raced a Stage 2 Cobalt SS with upgraded pulley, injectors, STage 2 reflash, and custom made CAI and he kept up with me a lot better then the S2000.

I think a well tuned S2000 with bolt ons and a tune is still not good enough against a well tuned STi. We just have more torque and power that helps us in the end. I am impressed though with how well a naturally aspirated S2000 can do with no turbos or superchargers.
