yea, 2000, 2001, 2004, and 2005 are the fastest...maybe 2003 also, not sure. I know the 2002 got a lower rev limit which keeps you from landing in "lift" in some of your shifts. the others have the regular rev limit, BUT 04 and 05 have an electronically controlled throttle body "drive by wire" which keeps you from using and after market ECU like the apex'i powerFC. What you CAN do is buy an 02 and swap out an 00 ECU and knock sensor.
