Im not planning a race or anything, i was just wondering how the S2k would do against a Pontiac trans am.. not the WS6.. just the trans am. Just curious..... Any experiences?

Btw, assuming both cars are stock.

dude...an S2K is not ment fo rthe 1/4 mile it's a handling car!

the s2K would get spanked assuming equal driving skill. that is of course assuming we are talking sheer 1/4 mile figures. taking into account that you will not find very many bone stock LS-1 cars out there (many have at least intake/exhaust which open them up quite nicely) and it only gets worse.

i love my Formula and the bottom end it has but for hands down driving enjoyment it doesnt hold a candle to MY01!

err sorry, didnt notice the '95 in there. from introduction up until the 98 model year all F-body's were LT-1 blocked cars, only in 98 did the move go towards the LS-1 engine. still even an LT-1 equipped F-body will give an S a good run but probably wouldnt gobble it up like the LS-1 car would

first, put in a turbo... no wait, make that sc.. no..no.. better stick with nos and vafc.
aww fawk it! With all the above installed I can pretty much gaurantee the S will open a can of woop-ass on the trans am

Well I have both, and I can assure you that my Formula will kick the S's ass in the 1/4 mile. But overall I prefer the S over the Formula.

Im very aware that the S is ment for the "S's". I was just asking a question

A '95-'97 Trans Am would be a decent race in the quarter. Both run about 14.0 depending on driver, and willingness to beat up the car.

A '98+ Trans Am would run about 13.75 stock. No contest there.

At the road course, I have driven both my '97 Trans Am and My S2k at Gingerman and with some bolt-on suspension mods the T/A will handle suprisingly well. However, it also needs brakes to keep up with the S2k, and a power steering cooler is a good idea too.

sorry, but I hate when people say this.... It is meant to do what ever you want to use it for.... its known to be amazing at handling and actually pretty quik in a straight line..... faster cars out there sure, more torque on some other cars hell yes, but every car has its pro's and con's... I am not starting an argument but if the s2k is slower then another car why do we say, "well it was not meant to be fast in a straight line?" Of course it was meant to be fast straight, and handle great to boot... sure they didn't say lets make a slow car that handles great? Stock 1/4 mile between 13.99 and 14.5 is pretty fast especially for a naturally aspirated 2 liter 4 banger...... toss on a mild nitrous spray of 50 or 75 or a SC and now you are a mid 13 second car.... its a fast car, but agree there are faster cars out there. And yes in the twisties I can answer your question, that the s2k will make the bird look silly.....
