Default more potential?

hey everyone
since the new s2k is going to have a 2.2 litre motor and the horse power rating is the same does that mean that the compression is down? If compression is down does that mean there is more room for BOOST!? anyone got one yet is it more torquer? and is the clutch in the new one better or is it still the same piece of shit? anyone working on a turbo or a sc for the new motor? trying to figure out if i should buy the new one or save dollars and get a used one.

It is my personal opinion that the new S2K will have more untapped potential than this one. You could drop $5k on this car (keeping it NA) and be lucky to get 20 hp.

I *think* (IMHO) that people will get the 2.2 up to 225 or 230 hp NA fairly easily, but only time will tell. I suppose it depends a lot on how much the redline drops. If it's still 8500, then there's a lot of room for horsepower up there.
