WOW! super nice....nothin like a turbo'd v8

 

[twitchy4821]

Except a supercharged V8 =)

 

[Hotwheelz]

turbo has a better top end powerband and no parasitic loss due to being belt driven........just my opinion

You speaak the truth. A supercharger robs a lot of HP being driven off the crankshaft vs a Turbo that uses exhaust heat.

 

[twitchy4821]

Yeah, i know the losses/benefits. I just have a liking for superchargers =)

 

[Hotwheelz]

nothing sounds like a supercharger whinning up on a v8

I'm not exceptionally fond of the Turbo lag, but I have never driven a surpercharged vehicle.

Ball bearing turbos are great for reducing lag......my turbo boost 14lbs by 3700rpm

Just got back from machine shop, had a buddies engine in there with a procharger f3 supercharger just made 2750hp and ran mid 6s at 210mph in the 1/4, so yes superchargers do make awesome power, but im happy running either

Ok, it's official. I'm getting the 2013 Corvette C7 as soon as it comes out in April (2012). I'm glad I did some research, almost bought the 2011 model.
