There's more to supercharging than just the blower as I've heard repeatedly, it's all in the tune and 0-60 times are meaningless unless you can go round corners . From what some of the Supercharger owners say that M3s are small fish in comparison to what a properly tuned S2000 FI car can do.

If you want to put a supercharger on, only buy MY05 cars and before I'd seriously consider the Mase Turbo kit as well and the racelogic traction control.

MY06 onwards are DBW, and there isn't a kit for a DBW car.

whatever boost you run with a supercharger, whatever brand wont be able to beat an m3 off the line to 60 - it will be close but they have more usable power from zero revs and with 1st gear you have to wait a long time before you hit boost and vtec. 60 to xxx is another matter.
