i dont think anyone in their right minds would get it... they could turbo a car for the same amt of money...

well I guess im not in my right mind, i think from what ive seen so far the vortch sc is phatty. not everyone wants a turbo. if it were all about simple whp, then why go all-motor in most cases. variety isnt a bad thing, when your only case was a price.

the thing is, they only produce hp... not torque... youll be sleeping at the line every time... they are wicked on top end i bet, but just like the s2k's, they dont have good bottom end at all...

vortech is too expensive and doesnt produce as much hp as a turbo.

Vortech Si had 18's and the tires aren't very sticky, I'd like to see the cars time slip with some P7000's or sticky tread on 15's or 16's.

Not possible becasue the car had 13" big brake kits so it has to have the larger rims.

But still, even if it broke intot he 13's, even a well tuned SI or GSR with JRSC can hit those similar times.

i would only purchase one of those if it had the inter/after cooler with it......i didnt see that they had those available for the GSR application yet, do they?

Skibbers · 02-15-2002, 04:28 AM

it would have to have the power cooler for me to get it anyway. im not so inclined with the time slips or bottom/top end specifics. i have my 99 gsr, and I want to have some fun with it. i just bought a 2k1 ITR about 2 mos ago with 2000 miles on it, that will be my car i sup a a ton and worry about that, but the gsr with a vortch sc will be fun to drive i think

Fan Factor wise, as long as you are boosting you will have more fun than stock! Just about any kit will make it more fun to drive no matter if its SC, Turbo or even Nitrous!
