Re: Supercharged vs. Turbo

Sure it also come down to how much power you have to start with...come on
this is not rocket science here...if you have gazillion Hp to play with who
cares if you lose say 150HP but if you only have 127 to begin with here is a
whole new ball park.....Hey why don't ya strap on of those ones ya saw on
your car and try to tun it over :)

For most (totally f'in insane HP cars) a supercharger is the way to go! Not
high-tech high performance.

But when you see Nissan maximas and Toyota corollas doing 7 seconds in the
quarter you will not see supercharger in the review very often.
Simple....they do not have the power to give up first of all!
