32.00 for a Gates Serpintine belt ?? Did I break a window
Isn't that high ?? Another store sells "Driverite" for 19.00 I thought this was about a 10.00 belt, I must be dreaming

For N/A I'd just get a Gatorback even though it will probable be about the same price. The Gatorbacks have a lifetime warranty which you will probable never have to use because they last a very long time.
For a Supercharged car I'd go with the Gates belt. They will grip better then any other belt out there helping with belt slip. They also do not stretch like other belts (including Gatorback) so over time the tension stays the same.

Goodyear is the maker of the Kelly Belts( and Kelly Tires ofcourse ).... I have had friends that have used kelly belts, the lifespan seems short...
Both of my cars have goodyear gatorbacks, Not a single problem in well over 6 years on both cars... And the tensioners are still within their proper operating range...
For us NA guys I do reccomend the Gatorback...
And they do run $25-$30 depending on the application....
I believe that even the Kelly belts are near $20 for a 3800...

Speaking of...back to the topic.
I've run $20 Dayco belts and been more than happy. The pattern on them resembles the Gatorback design. Although the GB is slightly different.
