[QUOTE="mc01svt, post: 16327760, member: 32337"] 2 reasons... 1. the price point in the domestic market for mustangs, corvettes, camaros..etc didn't justify the additional cost and complexity of going from a dirt cheap roots/tvs blower to twin turbos. Now that these cars are reaching and eclipsing 6 figures they have more room to do this. Each subsystem and component have individual cost targets that mostly dictate the engineering decisions. 2. combination of a misguided sense of legacy/tradition and the perception that domestic buyers are not as sophisticated, will buy anything they release and generally too dumb to care. merica Just FYI, in 1980 you could get a trans am with the olds 6.6l v8 and a single turbo. These things were pumping out a monstrous 210hp. [/QUOTE]
