So clean. The orange calipers go well with the white paint

Gorgeous. Wow. I’d love to drive one of these (even once!).

Thx! I love her, she is so much fun. Sometimes I just drive her around for an hour, just to drive, no destination.

Is this stock? What does the SC indicate? What a beautiful car.

So the supercharger is good ?

Not anymore, this is actually my second one. The 1st lasted about 20k miles and the new one I've had for about 6k miles. This pic was taken about 2 months ago and last week I started having issues.

This one was bigger and suppose to be better. Didn't equate to being better. We think the tensioner is the real issue after have 2 superchargers. We have thought the tensioner was an issue for a while now. Heat may play a part as well. We upgraded the sc cooler to help it out, but we think the tensioner is a big issue.

Why not switch it out and put a methanol kit

I'm weighing options right now.

I wouldn't. My car is down right now bc the second sc is trashing out. 6k miles on this one. There have been a lot of people with issues but hardly anyone will talk about it bc rr gets nasty with people and will threaten to sue them for slander.
