Could Wikipedia be right?

"For the 2006 model year, the LS2 engine featured minor modifications that boosted its output to 400 hp (automatic transmission) and 405 hp (manual transmission), respectively".

Interesting find - I remember reading that a change in the manifold and a tweak of the tune with the manual shift provides 400 hp. Maybe we have a hotter ride than previously promoted

Mike,

That's my SSR you see pictured on Wikipedia. Sitting in my driveway last summer.

I wondered about the HP rating myself and never changed it. I'm assuming it's correct. What does the 2006 owner's manual say?

I saw it on the internet -- therefore it must be true...

Didn't they have a link to SSRFanatic.com as an external link at one time?

The 2006 sales broucher says 395 HP with Auto and 400 HP with 6 speed while the 2005 broucher says 390 HP. Torque went from 405 in 2005 to 400 in 2006 for some reason.

I have edited the Wikipedia information accordingly. Thanks!

Does anyone have accurate information on the 2006 models as to time to 60mph and time and speed for the 1/4 mile? Basically the same thing they have listed for the 2005 only for the 2006 model. I'll add that too if I can get it.

BTW, the links to the various forums got removed by an editor. Some guy had some commercial links to SSR signs that also got removed.

You might want to post they way thet got the number for 06 vs 05. They picked a different point on the same engine power curve....
