thisisdude, is right I was just throwing out an example. And yes the parts are out, just hasnt been done...oh wait it has been done...I know its at the very far end of the spectrum but Leslie Durst went 9.xxx in the quarter mile with an all motor 300WHP scion tC with tC engine.
It is the fastest Scion tC using the Scion tC engine in FWD configuration. and its NA.

If they are the same kind of cars a boosted car will always win and its not my fault you bought an auto.

did i ever complain about having an auto in this thread? no. i was well aware of the limits of having an auto tranny when i got the car. if i wanted an entire performance car i wouldnt have bought the s/c. i had the money for a turbo but instead i went s/c. why? because 1)i wanted to keep my warranty 2)its a daily driver 3)requires less maintanence then a turbo. i was posting these results. u jump to the conclusion that just because my car is s/c'd that it has a HUGE advantage over a n/a 5 spd. not my fault ur ignorant.
