Thumbs up Twin Superchargers or Turbo?

American Muscle or Euro Perfections...

You make the call:

806HP CTS-V - V8 with two superchargers

810HP M5 - V10 with two turbos

here are a few cars that are up and coming.... from the dealer!

Infiniti based on the NISSAN 370 platform?? G37 Convertible....!! HUH?

400HP NISMO Z called the 380RS Nismo Type 380RS Competition

380HP Nismo GTS! Supercharged

Turbo GT Murano pushing 350HP!

We got our work cut out for us...

To be or not to be.... in debt... lol

Come back safe...I know what its like.... 140 degrees will cook your insides...never fall to sleep directly after being outside all day. I dont know if you are outside alot but if you are...remember you need at least an hour to hour in a half for your body to cool off your organs...

On a brighter note:

The turbo 3.5 Murano with 350hp could set some manufacturing baselines for the new G coupes and Z's.

If the block is forged (which all turbo engine from the manufacturer are) just turn up the boost and have fun! LOL...easily push 400 wheel with a forged block with stock turbo!

What kit? It only has rims. Also to answer your question I'll take the M5 over the CTS-V any day.

hmmm, maybe it would be time to sell the Z for a 2008 LS3 or a used Z06 vette.

She must be fine or hinding some nice "sunshine" under her dress to make him give up his car...especially the SRT joint...lol

People dont understand that buying a used civic DX and parking your gas guzzler will actually save you money to include the insurance!

The money he lost on the trade in is far greater than 10 years of crappy gas mileage!
