I love how there is a big gap between the front of it and the hood, because it doesn't curve with the hood's dimensions. lol

I also laughed at the tape comment.

for one, a superchanger doesnt neccessarily mean a big blower on the hood like that. in fact it usually doesnt.
secondly, it says 'why spend 6 g's and give up all that fuel economy' well dumbass, superchargers actually increase your fuel economy

How does that work?

My 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP gets about 33 mpg highway, but in the city I get <20 :Q And I'm not even pushing it that hard.

Well, if it sells then I'm happy for them. They're doing nothing more than capturing the money of buyers who don't know much

Yes, an S/C will do nothing to increase fuel economy.

Superchargers and turbochargers work on the principle of coverting waste energy back into useable energy. For example, a turbo charger will take exaust (waste) and use it to turn a turbine which then puts compressed air into the cyclendar. That means less room needed for air which translated to a little more air and a little more fuel. This gives you more power and, if you don't need it, more fuel economy. (less energy needed for air pump) Same basic principle with the super charger except less so as it adds friction to the shaft.

A supercharger will never increase fuel economy. That's the dumbest thing I've ever read. Neither do turbos. You are talkiing about "waste energy". Well guess what. THat "waste energy" is used at the same time the exhaust pistons are moving up. That's like saying you can put a restrictor plate on your exhaust and not lose any efficiency because that's just waste energy. Also, it's not being "converted to usable energy". It's being used to stuff more air into the engine, which burns more fuel.

Give me an example of a car that has more mpg with forced induction than without or stop posting bullsh!t.
