At the end of the day, did you win or did you lose? Why build a bat crap crazy car and not go to where you could have been because of the perceived notion American muscle is Supercharged, not that way anymore. I was going to build with a Super, but when the facts for power became evident, turbo was the only real answer for the money being laid down.

Cuz turbo is a lil cheaper and like I said they don't make superchargers for all motors that's why people turbo cuz you can put one on anything

Well the diffetence is mine came supercharged. Yours didn't. I figured why change it if I already got it. And not saying that's just how muscle is just to me that's how I like muscle cars. Turbos are great for lots of hp but the whipple can do everything your turbo can plus be quicker. Just wish I had one lol. Plus this is my dd and I didn't want something over the top that would just sit and spin.

Guess ZZP's and Intense Racing's 9 sec. turbocharged Grand Prix's did a fair more than just sit and spin... They have money to S/C too, but the power is just not there. The S/C's leave hard, but the Turbo's come alive and pull away ...

Ya well they got like 30+k into that gtp. It's twin turboed and has a crazy suspension to be able to take off. Wasn't looking to dump that kinda cash into a Monte Carlo that I drive everyday lol. For me and being my dd and driving it long distances for work supercharged is perfect amount of power and when I add the nos I got I'll be able to def keep up with anything other than someone who has a **** ton of money in their car

Real american diesel truck sound lol. Muscle cars were born with superchargers in the 70s even today most muscle cars use superchargers. It just depends how fast you wanna go. Like the zzp gtp on the street they can't drive it cuz it just burnout everywhere. It's a track only car and gets traction with slicks and the prepped track

I have to say Greg, the fastest boosted car on that show is a supercharged car

He's running the same style of supercharger that I am... just MUCH LARGER
