Can the GT350's be supercharged? Or any type of forced induction?

[QUOTE="DSG2003SVT, post: 15038930, member: 29534"] You're exactly right, and what someone does with their car is their business. They can rip out the interior, remove all the downforce generating aero, sell the carbon fiber wheels for some slicks and front runners, exchange the trunk lid for a spoilerless one, put lighter drag brakes on it, etc. to make it a full on drag racing only setup. It's not my car, so I don't care. None of that changes the fact that there are some design elements that should throw up some red flags when it comes to forced induction being added. I'm sure it will be done, and probably soon. I'm sure they'll eventually be rocking huge dyno sheets and roll racing with the likes of Supras. I'm thinking that there's going to have to be a couple of things changed for that to happen though. Most people that are interested in doing this aren't going to want to break into the motor to put a meaningful amount of boost into it. I'm really afraid that that may have to happen sooner than the average person is going to want to tackle it. I'm not somebody that's going to tell somebody else what to do to their car because it's what I would do. I'm just saying that I'm skeptical of this engine handling much boost in stock guise. Don't be a guinea pig if you're not willing to bet it all on black, or you have a nice chunk of money to burn if something does go wrong. [/QUOTE]
