Default Supercharged

I just want to say that I think everyone needs to own a supercharged car...For at least a day. I going to need plastic surgery to remove the grin from my face. I have owned and driven lots of very fast cars and even other supercharged cars, but this thing is just silly.

I pick up my just installed Twin Turbo vert tomorrow and can't wait to hit the pavement with it. Cool thing about going with turbos is that I can ajust the boost with the push of a button from 5 to 10psi on my stock setup.

I owned a supercharged Pontiac GTP, but I sure would like to have a supercharger on my C5. Congrats on having your's that way.

I just bought a P1SC kit just a few days ago. I am really looking forward to getting it installed. Sucks that it is going to be a few months though.

At idle and low speeds does the supercahrger make any extra
noise ???...or does it sound pretty much regular at low speeds/idle..?

I'll post some pics later. Driving around town you can't tell the car is modified. But when you get into the boost it is a sensory overload . It also has heads, cam and long tubes. My wife even likes it!!!

drop it in 3rd at 50mph, tc off, floor it, HOLD ON.
