It all depends on whatever floats your boat. I feel that a well put together supercharger setup, due to the instant and flat torque curve, will perform better in certain auto-X and road course tracks. As far as drag racing, a turbo is a better option, at least for the tC.

I'd rather race in an environment that requires more skill than the F&F live life a quarter mile at a time. LOL

i was planning to save up for a zpi stage 0 but is what 05-RS1 said true? will a turbo really cause problems with an auto trans. later on?

Any additional power placed onto the tranny will lower the longevity of the transmission, it all depends on how you drive it. There is no rule or "say all" whether a turbo will decrease the life expectency of a transmission versus that of a supercharger. More power and stress on your auto tranny is more power and stress on your auto tranny, simple as that. Where that power derives from is superfluous to figure out.

ZPI is out of business. No more stage 0

I really bought a 60" Vizio plasma and a damn expensive Bose 7 speaker and 2 sub Bose system plus a pretty nice 7.1 amplifier (sub chan is hooked on to a cheap 2chan 600W car amp a friend gave me and it's connected to 2 Bose subs, the amp is ghetto rigged to a 12V outlet and little tweaks & voila!, 7.2 surround sound baby !)

I'm still buying a clean lookin Turbo kit though...
