Anymore SS/SC

I swear all the new forums are about the SS/TC. Are there any more SS/SC people in the market? Or is everyone upgrading to the new beast? I know it's all new, but I can't even comment with the lack of experience of the TC. I feel left out now.

its just natural selection...

happened to the Lt1 F-body guys when the LS1 came along

the LS1 GTO guys when the LS2 GTO came along

the C5 Zo6 guys when the C6 Zo6 came along

the 2V Mustang GT guys when the 3V GT came along


happens to the best of them, unless they cancel your car:

see Toyota Supra and the MKIV

I had an 06 with meth, 2.6, airbox mod, or dp, and 60's. Car was pretty fast but my 09 ss with a tune only is faster. Can't beat the turbo, at least not in a 2L appliction.

If I would have bought a SS/SC over my old 2.4, I probably would have kept the S/C instead of buying the T/C; But since I had a 2.4 (which is N/A) & I want FI, I bought a brand-new SS/TC.

Im sorry but Unique and Horsepower dont go hand and hand. Dont get me wrong i love my supercharger and i was plaining on getting the TVS, But its just no where near as efficient as a turbo and on a 2.0 L motor its even less practical.

but a better gear ratio, better suspension, better brakes, and a stage kit looming that will bump us to over 300hp, is

it got a lot more upgrades than 40hp...

S/Cs won't die off, just as with the other, the Lt1s are still going strong, 2V GTs are still going strong, etc.... as its been said, modify to keep up with the pack, no one races stock cars anyway
