He was a vert which is heavier and therefore slower. He couldve been stock with tips. I used to have tips on my car and it still made a very loud tone. He also could have had 2.73 gears which is horrible. The 4.56 gears helped you out a lot and getting 220whp out of a NA s2k is quite impressive.

For the most part, LS1>F20C or F22C. I owned both, i'm not bashing, just stating the facts. Good run nonetheless.

Yeah.....because a 245 rwhp/175lb tq S2k can't hang with a stock camaro SS or Ws6..? lmao...bring me a stocky.....I would love to prove your ignorrant @ss wrong.

Besides, It's much different here on the west coast..Cars run slower times over here...I'm sticking to camaro's/Ws6's are nothing better than high 13's over here (stock). I witness it ALL the time at california speedway (fontana).
My ap2 is a different monster.....


However, I'm not saying that i wouldn't get raped by one with bolt ons.

Oh and btw..You have done your share of bashing ever since you got that car.
I read your ignorrant posts (even considering you've owned an S). Maybe it's exactly why you don't own one now....The S was simply too sophisticated for you....lol

Stop being ignorrant and I'll shut my mouth. Until then...make up your mind if you wanna bash or be appreciative as you posted above....
He has 220whp not 245whp.

Secondly, don't act like you know me. For one, my S2000 wouldve raped yours. My S2000 was a mid 12 second car. It was not too sophisticated. It was too damn slow! You put bolt ons on a S2000 and you feel little to nothing. You do full exhaust, heads and a cam in a LS1 and you have 400-500whp. You're a piss ant and your car is slow, sorry.

To the OP, you have an impressive, yet unusual build. I'm sure it's pretty quick. Good kill on an unexpecting Z28.

I have yet to see anyone that owns an LS(X) say anything is better, so you may as well write LS1>all.

It's a badass engine that I appreciate(nearly full torque off of idle ), but I think MANY MANY people are sick of the elitism that usually comes with the owners.

I'm NOT saying that you don't appreciate other cars or are knocking the S2k. I'm saying that you better put on your flame suit if you're going to post in a manner consistent with what everyone expects from someone with a Camaro in their sig.


BTW, making up excuses for a car you've never seen or heard yourself FTL.

It's funny, i have played with a couple vets with similar results in 2nd and 3rd gear from a roll. Whenever you mention it here you get bashed, I find it easier to keep it to yourself.
lol
I actually believe you. You just are mistaken as to who was playing...

Wait, what?

You want chocolate? Vanilla I can maybe understand...I'm not following at all.
Basically what you said.

They're nearly the same thing, and what's so hard to comprehend about wanting an S2k? He already gave his personal reason.

Why is this so unbelievable, here is a review from road and track. 1/4 mile in 13.4. If we are in 2nd gear right in vtec, he is not going to walk me badly if at all. I am not going to beat him, but I can certainly hang with him enough to not let him around me. As we get faster, he will walk away above 4th and 5th gear.

I for one believe you.
It is the street, he had a passenger.
The car is older, who knows the state of tune.
You have gears and other mods.
