View Full Version : Supercharger Advantage?

I was pulling out of a stop into a sweeping left turn, fairly brisk, and I heard a screech mid turn and noticed a car behind me working hard to keep up. So I got on it all the way, and slowly walked him, but not by much. I kept accelerating and he kept pretty much behind me, and I can't say who had an advantage. He was definitely not closing clear up to about 90 or so.

This considering that I wasn't racing out of the light, not knowing there was a race or anything. I'd guess I was giving it about 75 percent around the corner and up the hill.

Later he went by and I'm pretty sure it was a Mark 8 or something along those lines.

Uumm, is this a kill story, or a question about superchargers? I think that the FI forum would be the best place to ask...

I'm moving this monday morning.

Nice kill?

There's always somebody faster. I got killed by a heavily modified (wish I had known at the time) A4 over the weekend, but then took down an s2000 20 minutes later.

Don't know what you would be putting down, but I'm guessing you wouldn't have to worry about 240hp accords anymore :rolleyes:

Hey Vandy, who says I'm worried? It's more like a calm assessment, really.

BTW, don't you have over 100 HP on the S2000?

So that would be like me showing up on the Audi forum and talking about "taking down" an Escort, right?
