I came across an offer for a supercharger for my car.

I really thinking about it, but I haven't heard (or I just missed it) of anyone here that already has done so.

It should raise from a standard 333 BHP and 450 Nm to 420 BHP with 600 Nm

What do you guys think..........


should I????

or should I have second thoughts?

Yes. You may want to replace the differential with an LSD from Quaife while you're at it.

IMO a supercharged 645 would pwn m6's all day long, not to mention that sexy supercharger whine, and the rumble of a v8. A lot better driveability wise, tons of low end torque, and you dont have to be in stupid high rpm range to make power like the M's

Not sure about a 420bhp car beating on a 507bhp car all day long but I do agree the added low end torque would be great for driveability.

Get one Tony!

Are those really the numbers?????? 60hp gain? I was thinking bigger numbers lol.... hence why my comment overall obvioslly it wouldn't be compareable to no M's as theirs more to them than just straight line performance...

$10,000 for 60hp.. hmmmmm lol

Well the numbers Doc Horror quoted are for a 645 so that's more of a 95hp gain over the stock 325hp. I'm not sure what company he's talking to though and VF-Engineering hasn't released the specs on the supercharger for the 4.4L or the 4.8L.
