Everything plays a part i.e. weather, tires, etc., but your clutch has to be weak too if it's OEM on a 2000.
I remember totally roasting second and chirping third pretty easily on cold & dry winter days when my ride was new
~60K miles later, I finally replaced my clutch with the Z06 setup 'cause my stock one died. The fist time I got into it, the roads were a little damp and the rearend came around for a visit when I hit 3rd on the highway onramp and I wasn't even near the redline
It caught me by surprise but it was pretty cool to see how much torque to the wheels I've regained.

I'd go with a spec3, plans with cars ALWAYS get bigger. I have a 2 and really wish I had a 3 now. You can feel a big difference just with a 2, my buddy has a 3 and it feels even better, and it's streetable.

i've been having the same problem..bought the car in jan and could never chirp second on a 01 ss...i'm guessing it still has the original clutch. I've always thought it was weird..cause i could chirp second in my old focus...and I could chirp third in my sentra spec v. I guess i'll find out if my car sucks when i get s new clutch.

with the stock tranny mount on an m6 hard shift make it go week. thats what happen to me at around 30K so i replaced it and the shifts feel more solid less tranny movement. i am not saying thats whats wrong but something to check for.
