Rep Power: 0 I love that car...except I'm not too crazy about the truncated butt...looks outta place on a M-B, IMO.
Remember the BMW 318Ti? That was very similar and it didn't go over too well...I though that was better looking, too.
Edit: Now, if they shoehorned an AMG V8 motor into it...well, it would be a whole different story!

Rep Power: 0 Superchargers do have a kick to them, as the rpm's pick up, the charger adds more power, it isn't a linear increase. My friend had a 95 Cobra running 13 psi through a vortech supercharger (I think it was a blower, not sure though, coulda been centrifugal) and around town you hardly knew it was there, but above 2400 its starts whining and you start going very very fast).
Secondly the baby mercedes is fairly quick, with EQUALLY MATCHED drivers it would stack up fairly well with an rsx-s or a gts, straight line. I like them [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Huge Whipple S/C's are always on... Eaton style S/C's pretty much all have bypass valves which keep engine under negative pressure untill needed...
Boing!
