sharif was doing 1.36 bone stock. and will was doing easy 1:32 with coil overs r888s exhaust and a tune... which gave him if i remember 464awhp... this was also Wills first time out on RA.
just because the discontinue a model doesnt mean the price goes up... it will be very very far from not that a s2k price will go up... they are not rare, they never will be. even 80's cars prices are going up as much as you think.
