Looking forward to the auto show here in January 
And I find that both the Mustang and Camaro are hideous. I didn't think they could get worse than the current Mustang (other than bringing back the Mustang II) but I think they did it.
And about the choice of style of supercharger. The Roots-style supercharger is more reliable and builds much more boost at lower RPMs, which helps make the torque curve less peaky. Centrifugal superchargers are like belt-driven turbos, so you get all the downsides of turbocharging, without the efficiency.

Yeah, Mitsubishi had an ethanol turbo Evo that seems pretty cool in spec. Puts out 420hp with ethanol and 390 with 91 gas. Here's the pix
