Call me a hypocrite, but I'd take a turbo over a supercharger any day. Don't get me wrong, I love my M90, but I'd love a nice Garrett turbo more!

At the least they handle well (corners are lots of fun too).

We have one, and it goes like the wind....but the VR6 is a little lacking in HP..only 172, the SSEi could smoke it....even a modded VR6, and its a 2.8L 5 speed manual

I smoked the hell out of a VW Golf or GTi, don't remember which one, it'* been a while. But whatever he added to the car didn't help. (BIG fart can for one) He was slower than most other rice I've ever beaten.
