For what it's worth, turbos have turbo lag, and take a second to kick in where as SCs have no lag, but use more gas as you run them. Like it has been said, there is more support for turbos, but it is always fun to be different. Good luck.

Stupid to fight over which is better and which is not....

It's just simple to say....what a person prefers the most between a Turbo or a Supercharger....they both have their good and bad about them..

I love the Superchargers....as many might love their Turbos....but just gotta love both of them in general...as long as there is an RX7 on the outside....ITS ALL GOOD..

Enjoy what you have...

MAZDA sure thinks Speed World Challenge is important seeing that they're giving backing to several Protege Touring drivers! who finished 6, 7 12, and 16th for the year in an extremely competetive class while still developing their cars. Sheesh.

American Road racing as a whole can't compete with NASCAR for live TV time. I've only seen one AMLS shown live on major channel and CART pays the TV station to put it on TV this year, the few times they've actually been on TV!

I would love it if Speed World Challenge was live even on Speed channel but they have their own agenda over there with this Nascar channel within Speed channel deal.
