Reason for that i think is cause they are old school and every car guy knows about superchargers and what they can produce (HP). where as turbo's are just starting to become popular more and more,with stock cars showing up with them like crazy now days. they had them in alot of 80's/90's cars but they were junk and people didn't care for them. the more people see what they can do the more popular and sought after they get. i always looked at turbo's years ago as for 4 banger cars,but now days some sweet V8's roll with them. JMOP.

this summer, we should get a few centrif. cars like a small P1SC or D1SC/G or T-trim and a medium F1/YSi (and larger if someone has one) and line them up with a few turbo cars ranging from 76-91.5mm and do a vid of how they sound...that would be cool to see.
