Keep dreaming my friend, keep dreaming. I wish it were thet cheap, I really do.

Procharger kit is about $6000
Headers and exhaust is about $1500
Plus Tune and Tires/Wheels big enough to take 600+whp and 500+wtq
Transmission, Diff and Axle upgrades, and on and on...

Anyway, its only money, right?
no2.

ZR1 is a lot of car. Saw the article in Road & Track. All I have to say is wow.

Yeah, I guess, when it comes to performance they seem to be pretty close with a stock S2000. It's a major step down in the hot car, pantydropper, and reliability categories though, IMO at least (not to knock a Vette's reliability, just that they're a good bit older than an S).

TRUE.

but a with 1500hundy in mods you can turn a 300BHP(270whp) vette into a 400whp/400wtq s2k eating machine. LT4 parts are a tad cheaper than LS1 parts, and since they have an iron block, they love the FI! procharged LT4 is nuts.

i agree though, i would rather have the vastly better C5 vette over a 93-96 vette.

EXACTLY.

as much as ill miss my s2k, i wont miss the stupid prices that import parts carry. for the cost of a SC or Turbo kit, i could build a 600 LS1/LT1.
