I\'ll get back to the rest of your post later, but he has 12000 miles on it.  He bought his in Miami and he was also told about the 600 mile rule for the VTech.  He said it was the worst driving down aligator alley, which is perfectly straight.

Okay sorry for the NA supercharger comment, I was wrong, I know what I am talking about I just did not word it right..

Now do you want to debate Superchargers vs turbos??  I would love to..

More efficient is such a general statement and basically does not mean anything.  ARe you trying to say in laymens terms that trubos are better??  

Let have an analogy shall we.  Okay a twin turbo car producing mass amounts of bost, running at about 255 bhp.  Now you got a car same engine, producing bost via a supercharger, which yes is parasitic on the engine, but producing 290 bhp 2 vs 1..!! Hrmmmmmmmmm  But thats just one example, there are more, but there are also good and bad cases for both.....

I just have to say something about "honda engines sounding clunky."  HUH????  What are you comparing them to?  Certainly not Audi / VW engines, I hope.

BTW show me another 240hp 4 cylinder that\'s quieter...

Just thought I\'d add another\'s computational effort (at least as related specifically to the S2K)...:

...S/C: If you want to have a lot of fun in the twisties but still go faster than stock, choose the supercharger. The power delivery is relatively smooth, and the torque/hp curves are similar to stock, although naturally bumped way up (with a peak around 300hp to the wheels). 1/4 mile times (est) at best high 12s, low 13s (someone correct me if I\'m wrong?).

T/C: If you want to drag your car and have fun in the straight lines, consider the speedcraft turbo (or another turbo application coming out soon, by mdigrappa I believe). The area under the curve is quite a bit bigger than the s/c, and the peak is a little higher (334 to the wheels for me). Unless you are a very skilled autocross driver, your times will most likely be quite a bit worse at first, if you choose to track this car. Power delivery comes on quickly at about 4k/5k rpms. If you are on the throttle 100% in a straight line, it\'s very smooth, but if you are doing a lot of turning and gear shifting, you may have a tough time easing into turns at high throttle. 1/4 mile times (est) at best low 12s, perhaps high 11s ...   - thanks to ChrisD on s2ki.com

Alligator Alley between Naples and Fort Lauderdale.  It\'s 150 miles of perfectly straight nothingness through the everglades.  4 lane split highway.  

It was very scarey going by the people though.  Only passed 2 people.  We waited a long time to have the opportunity to make a run.

It\'s the lower part of I-75.  Just look at a map.  Look at Ft. Lauderdale.  Go West.  You will only see one road crossing the state there.

They air patrol though with planes, so you have to watch it.

Just the way the engine and gear box sound..  Sounds clunky to me always have, notchy, I don\'t know how you want me to word it.  Subarus sound worse so don\'t worry..

Im not saying its bad, just my interpritation.
