The only things about the SLP vehicles (SS/WS6) is that they have some suspension work done, ram air hood, "higher" flowing exhaust, and the ram air installed. In reality, ram air DOES help a bit in higher speeds since you have that "forced induction" type deal working. So, theoratically, yes a stock SS/WS6 is a bit faster than the "regular Trans Ams and Z28s.

BLACKTURBOS2K is getting a hard time why? He has been respectful and you guys tarnish our name giving him crap for no reason. When he mistakes our horsepower why don't you just be nice and correct him?
Ten to one you will get beaten by a import. Also just because it has a H doesn't mean its a ricer. Ever seen that Camaro with a intergra front end? Now look at the kitted S2000 on this site with a Z06 in the garage too. I'm not trying to trash any one, but some people just throw trash for no reason.
Nice kill though.

Never called him a ricer, just said his comments seemed very rice. I never claimed to be knowledgeable about the s2000 and never said his car was so and so hp or that it made this much more in this configuration. I just get a lot of this from the local crowd. Sorry to offend you s2000's best friend. Next time i will contact you before i generalize a statement.

I have respect for the S2000's. They're cool little cars but like someone said...they're not in the same class of power as a Fbody or similar cars.

I can get a civic and make it runs 11 or 10s for $10k, that is with the car also!
But please tell me how you would go about doing this cause you are mistaken!

Lets say $1500 for rims and tires. Thats $7500 I am sure there may be more money somewhere but you can see $10K in a civic is alot of money. My friends 1.6 SOHC made 522whp and ran a 11.3 on D/R.

I am not sure how fast they are but he pulled me a 1/2 car at the start and @ 65-70 I had my 1/2 car on him. I am sure that are damn nice down low but why would someone want to run from a roll with that much Tq???

What if you are running around town in your grocery getter. Oh wait, the Cobra is your grocery getter...
