I'm warming more and more to the supercharger conversion! I never liked superchargers much before, couldn't stand their whine and since the most commonly supercharged car you see on the road (well for me anyway) nowadays is the Cooper S and that is a proper whiney fucker!

However, seeing one of the TOTD cars going round Silverstone (grey ST170 supercharged, stripped out and on RS rims), that sounded the absolute bollocks! Not too whiney and great noise and speed going round the track!

How does the car feel compared to a turbo car Will? Intersted to know. Can't imagine the kick will be the same as a turbo spooling up but nevertheless. Would assume a linear surge rather than a huge kick then sustained.

P.S. is it more feasible to do a supercharger conversion to the focus or turbo?

Cheers!!
