    Grand Prixs are awesome... well except for the supercharged models, they're terrible for regular driving... only if they're a track car are they good..

    Superchargers actually take away horsepower because they add an extra pulley to the engine and that robs the engine of torque... and torque is needed to make ft-lbs, so if you have no ft-lbs, you have no horsepowers to run the pulley and the supercharger ends up hurting you.

    Unless, like I said you're at a track or on the interstate and you can go over 100mph because then RAM AIR takes over and will force air into the supercharger and it actually becomes efficient and makes up for the extra pulley then.
