Turbo's and SC's are 2 different worlds.

All depends on boost levels. There still has yet to be a video showing the same horsepowered s2ks but one with a turbo vs a SC. The only video was a 380hp turboed car vs a 340hp SCed car...I wonder who will win?

My guess is they will be approx the same with a slight edge to the turboed car. Thing is, you never really see high HP SCed cars because they are harder to extract power vs a turbo.

It is a night and day difference when your average SC makes ~300hp and your average turbo makes ~360hp. Have to think about that first.

I rode in a 360rwhp turbo S and it felt pretty quick due to his minimal spool time. I have yet to run him side by side, but I think I can take him

I've never been in a turboed S but i can tell you a S/C S pulls much harder then VtaK.

You dont feel superchargers like you do turbos. Turbos have MUCH greater presence, and make sure you KNOW they are there. However, we are talking about the comptech/vortec blowers. Roots/Rotrex blowers are VERY different, and pull as well as turbos. I took a ride in a rooted miata, and that thing boogied like nobodies business. They are literally, instantaneous boost. IMHO, a roots 330hp s2000, and a turbo 330hp s2000 would make for a VERY close highway run, with the edge "maybe" going to the blown one, because they are 100% boost till redline. However, with the centrifugals vs turbo, there is no contest.
