Default Raced WS6

raced a Pontiac WS6 today on the highway and didn't lose....pretty much were tied the whole way. It was amazing, me and my buddy were at a light and saw it behind us so when we turned at the light I just took off and so did he and we were dead even til about 75....he caught up in the beginning but then i pulled even as we hit higher mph.

I love my car!!

I was pretty happy after I had gotten dominated by an SS with my '02 Mustang GT with 8 cyl vs. 8 cyl

I love having a 4 banger that can take on 8's

Is there such thing as a WS6 LT1? Or are they all LS1? LS1 is fast; LT1 is not nearly as fast.

Red, isn't there a world of difference between the handling of an S2K vs. your Mustang? And isn't the gear box just the sweetest thing ever? Those are the two best things I love about this car.

Yeah everything about the S2000 I like more than the Mustang...maybe not the torque difference, but Vtec and handling and all that fun stuff is amazing....


I"m pretty sure it was an auto, whether or not it was an LS1 i'm not sure...but it was definitely a WS6 and he pulled on me at the beginning but once i got into 3rd a bit we were dead even.....my driving skills are just unparalleled ;-)

I guess the guy in the WS6 couldn't drive. I know that a WS6 would have eaten my 04 alive when the car was stock. A WS6 has quarter mile trap speeds of 105-106 MPH. The 04 S2K can only hit 100 MPH at the most if it is close to stock.
