The 03 Cobra, the "Terminator". In this review I weight out the pros and con of going turbo from the factory supercharger. What do you prefer? Supercharger or Turbo?

If you are a staunch democrat you will probably identify with turbos while republicans will typically gravitate towards PD superchargers.

staunch democrats identify with EV, hybrids, or public transportation. Lets not be silly now, owning a car no matter what form of power adder pretty much makes you a Nazi.

Take a lesson from piston engine development in WWII: compound boost. Best of both worlds. The P38 lightning, P47 Thunderbolt, the B-36 bomber, all compound boosted. It doesn't have to be either/or. Use both and invest in octane booster stocks. That's a triple win.

You're welcome, SVTP.

Turbos will always win on being more efficient but packaging of these systems is always the biggest hurdle. PD, Screw or centrifugal are just easier to package.

I do not even have to watch it to give it two thumbs down. Last vid I saw from OP sucked.
