tubo vs super -- Re: [s-cars] was, 0-60 , 1/4mile, now:Re: superchargers are bad, mmkay?

[Bill Clancy]

OK... you got me.  yes, I bad mouthed the S-car.
but my argument/question was why not a supercharger?     Mercedes makes that
SLK kompressor.   I have never driven one, so I don't know if it is any
good.

thanks for your feedback.
