The reason everyone finds traction an issue is because of the torque the supercharger puts down. In comparison with the turbo, you probably won't experience that with that as much. Maybe if someone had a turbo build they would've backed me up! But no 
I agree. The Z4 dominates all grounds up until you start making it faster. That's where the road ends I suppose. *starts looking for e30's and s85's* |
Haha, thanks. I've had a ton of fun stuff over the years, but I'm really becoming more interested there days in cars which are just fun to drive. The Z4M is about the slowest car I've ever owned in a straight line, but I wouldn't trade it for any of my other cars. I absolutely love the thing, I could see driving one for years and years as long as it stays in good mechanical condition.
I had three MR2 Turbos back in the late 90s/early 00s. The third one was the beast, fully built motor with the 20G. I had the intercooler in the trunk, the whole shabang. You just had to be careful on sweepers because when the boost hit and the backend started to slide, your brain would always tell you "TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS", which was the absolute last thing you'd do in that car. Unfortunately, the guy I sold it to destroyed it on the Highway about two months after I sold it to him. He broke an arm, both legs, and destroyed his jaw/teeth on the steering wheel. Apparently he lost control and basically went nose first into the divider at about 90mph. Incredibly lucky to survive, but from what I've heard he's pretty messed up to this day.
The Supra was just a whole 'nother level. I picked the car up in 2001 before The Fast and Furious Craze (I ALWAYS loved the Supra). Put a T88 on it, and hung with 1000cc bikes from a roll. The acceleration of that car is like nothing I had before, nor since. Looking back on it, it's completely ridiculous to have anywhere near that power on the street. There's just no use for it.
I'm really looking forward to the coming years, especially 2018. That's when the first MKIV Supras from Japan will be able to be imported, so hopefully I can get back into a nice Supra for a realistic price. I'd like to have one along with my Z4M. This time however, I'd keep it mild and just go BPU upgrades which are good for a little over 400rwhp. Buying a car from Japan, I'd have to imagine everything I would want to do to the car would already been done regardless.
