If you were to put a LID onto a Camaro with a LS1, you would definitely see some nice gains from it. If you were to put a high quality intake on the S2K, do you think you would see the gains out of a motor that's been built up? I don't think so. Also... take a look at aftermarket for both of these cars. IIRC, the Camaro has been around a lot longer than any Honda. For the extra $5000 you'd spend for a base model S2K, your LS1 equipped Camaro could have a rear end upgrade, LID, headers, slicks, a nice bottle from Nitrous Express and still have money left to spare. Now you do want to challenge the LS1 350 to a piece of crap Honda VTEC motor?
Actually for $5,000...
Heads/Cams = 2600
Headers = 600 (Jet Hot)
X or H pipe = 250
4.10 or 3.73 gears = 500
Lid and polished TB = 220
ET street = 400
= $4570 = 400+ RWHP & 400+ RWTQ = 11 sec car.
