I'm sure its never happened on this planet before hahahaha
If you are truly interested in a supercharger I must ask for what. Because most of the time its just to drive car around town, stoplight stuff local, tire smoke, not racing. And in that case you would prefer the positive displacement style of supercharger and maybe like 'screw' type, I would put a bet on that. And there are many to choose from I believe we have some vendors here in fact with such kits...

if the only things that matter are hooking a launch & getting from point A to B without any turns, then a centrifugal is better than a PD (but not as good as turbo).

I agree with your statement which is why i said not racing, and most corvette owners think of their car in terms of 1/4 mile anyways

my point was that 'racing' is also contextual. PD blowers are good for road course / circuit racing (what C5+ Corvettes were built for), but centrifugals are better-suited for drag racing (again, with turbo being even better for drags).
i agree, though: a PD is funner around town for regular driving.
