I've driven centrifugal supercharged i4s and v8s. I'm pretty sure I drove in a VF S/Ced miata once, which is the same damn thing.
The rotrex has no low-end, which is pretty damn important, if not the most important aspect of a boosted street car. I say this after driving a 1.6L miata for the last 18 years, and at one point on with major boost creep and blown oil rings, a bad tranny, and a blown diff, outputting better TQ than any rotrex ever could.
The one postive I'll give the rotrex is that it doesnt sound like your mom's vibrator when driving down the street.

lol I've no idea on which superchargers are cool and whatnot. nor do I care. I just drove a mp62 car on bandAIDS the other day and it was leaps and bounds better than m45 cars Ive driven before, which is why I made that statement.
I'm sure there are ultra baller other sc's that make insane torque and whatnot.
I'll stick to good 'ol turbos

Bragged? Just said for the price I couldn't go turbo. At least not the way I wanted. Driving it today gave me the same amount of joy as the FM turbo kit I had on my 97'. I'm in no way saying it's on equal grounds as an FM kit, or even a cheap turbo build for that matter. Just saying it's a blast to drive.
I still have Vlads thought to put in the little extra and do turbo but whatever works for you.
