Someone is probably losing their job for this so I don't think we'll be getting specs.

^^ Nice link, but they seem to talk out of their ***. He can't tell if its a Roots-type or centrifugal, is he joking? He stated a few sentances before that the supercharger now sits where the alternator was, he answered his own question (looks to me that there is a reverse setup roots blower under the intercooler). He then goes on to say how the interior is still cheap (that crap is getting old). Either way the car looks nice!

Hopefully they made enough $$$$ on the photo sale to one of the sites to more than cover their retirement.

Not only did he lose his job, but he's in jail.. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

On a side note, isn't this the same engine we saw pic's of a few months back, but no one believed it was the motor due to the odd location of the TB?? Trying to dig up some pics...
