Hmmmm........that is a very interesting idea. If it holds true I wonder when it starts to go the other way? Like for example an S2000 with 180K miles on it will dyno at 230whp.......maybe!?!

 

His car had import killer on the back, I dont think he would just toy with me since I was driving an import.

 

Auto?

 

There's a red F-body around here with various stickers that say things like "No chance rice boy!," "Import Killer," and "375hp." Makes me think he got whooped by an import one day and now tries to take it out on the slower ones.

 

no idea, probably cuz I didnt hear him chirpin any gears. These days autos are overtaking the stickshifts.

 

The auto tranny's are getting better and better every year. In the GTO world auto's turn quicker times in the quater.

 

He may well have been 2.73 auto. No offence, but if he was wound up he shoulda pulled on you HARD! from a 40-50 punch. Did you notice that as he got nearer to 70mph he started pulling away harder? If you noticed that, I am betting he was a 2.73 auto.

Not trying to talk crap at all. Sounds like you have a strong/intelligently modded S and can drive. GOOD RUN!

(from a dig if he was auto at about 60-65mph you should have noticed him accelerating harder).

Good runs, LS1's arent a joke, 2.73 auto or not. 40-50mph punches are a dick thing to do to a 2.73 A4 LS1 though!


I doubt S2K's or ANY car get any "faster" after 20K miles. At least nothing you would notice. I do know a guy who ran 13.3@105 in a 110K mile auto Z28 (98 stripper).

I also know that according to mag tests the 0-120 was a tick or two slower in an M3 after their "long term" test.

FRM cyl. walls (I think thats what its called?) ect. ect. lead me to belive the S2K should have good "staying power" with age/miles though. It's a well-built engine.

 

Only if the T56 driver can't drive. Your statement is true in 90% of the cases though. However, the fastest STOCk LS2 GTO's are T56 cars with stoopid talent at the wheel.

 

we dont know with s2k's yet, but its a documented fact with NSXs.
