Looking at wiki the '02 base is 228 HP, '00 S puts out 249 HP, '02 S 255HP. My car had some tuning done by the previous owner, I would really like to cruise in an 00 S and then an 02 S and see how close my base comes to the S. Also I have heard sentiment that the 5sp is a better transmission, so it may be possible that a 2.7 base with some performance mods is more desirable or ate least more fun for my purposes than a 6sp S. But again, I'll have to see what my butt dyno tells me and how much my face hurts from grinning like a fat man at a hamburger buffet.

Regardless, I'm extremely happy with my 2.7L. Mulling over UDP and possibly upgrade the plenum.

Problem about HP is that you never want to go backwards. How ruined would I have been if I started out the sportscar endeavor by getting the 996 Turbo cab?
