Thanks alot. Yeah, well, those pictures are a bit decieving haha. Its in great condition, but it needs some TLC. I got it this summer from Nevada. Its been a Southwest car all its life, so as a consequence, the interior has had some decent UV damage which I'm taking care of. Also, I found out a few weeks ago the windshield leaks. I live in a baaaaaad place to have a windshield leak. Thank god I have a garage to stick it in, or else the inside would be like a pond.

Superchargers are DEFINETLY a go. I've seen some insain supercharged F-bodies and Mustangs before. You can really get a huge boost from those babies. Well, most of them anyhow. I used to work at a car dealership, and we took in on trade a supercharged Scion XB, man...that thing was still gutless haha.

Check out this supercharged Kenne Bell Cobra. I've watched this video probably 50 times and it never gets old.

I know, I love the 03-04 Cobras with the supercharger. There's a few over here in Michigan with the Kenne Bell. Our one member on here, IFlyLow, has a Kenne Bell on his. Car is absolutley amazing, I think I'm going to pick one up eventually.
