I'm in the same situation, I still owe money on my car and I've been saving up for a supercharger. I would definitely love to boost my car, but the more I've been thinking about it, the more I get the nagging feeling that it isn't a good idea. Partially because of the fact that it isn't paid off yet- what if I damage my car and still owe money on it?

I think I might just put the extra money towards paying off the loan too.

pay it off and keep the car till it dies.

you'll find you'll have more money once you paid your car off.

chaos if you want to boost power dont do it with the sc unless your happy with just a little boost in power . you can go further with turbo . sc will keep you happy for a while though

of course, you can only feel the pull if your in the passenger seat and the driver unsuspectingly drop the gas pedal :]

it is a good feeling.



but in the end, EVO EVO EVO EVO EVO EVO

well to be fair i think there are tons of upgrades for the s/c that will make it more enjoyable such as pulleys, meth/water injection, engine managment, header, ect. you really have to ask yourself if its what you want, not what others want.

the rx7 will probably pwn the tc on the track

iam not a big fan of making a car just fast, it has to have good turning abilities.


pulling on someone is a pretty good feeling, but dusting someone on a hardddd turn is an unbelieveable feeling.
