    Talking Thinking About Supercharging

    Lots to choose from on the market, I’m concerned about how it will change driving the car, besides the obvious :-). Anyone have thoughts or comments?
    I have a 2019 PP2.

    Thinking About Supercharging

    Increased weight front end affecting balance / handling to some degree but are we racing road course for professional time and prize money?

    - Increased gas consumption ( on the loud peddle)
    -increased wear rear tire ( from a dig)
    - increased potential for speeding tickets

    I doubt adding boost will make your car the worse handling car you could imagine.

    So in other words I’m “pro boost”
    Especially if you feel u need more beef- but I’m biased( I drive a slo turd)

    Stick with a Vortech/Paxton style blower and with a good tune the car will drive like a dream for 10 years plus and the fuel consumption isn't that bad but be prepared to spend $14,000 - $16,000 for everything including installation, tuning and taxes.

    If you bought a PP II car because it's handling features are important to you, will likely be disappointed how much the super charger hurts the cars amazing balance.

    Yes ZR, this is my big worry. Now I’m rid of the club sport S tires, the car has an almost zen-like behaviour on the street.

    Thanks everyone for your input so far!

    Doesn't the PP2 come with Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires? You got rid of them for something else?

    Yes, they were finished in 4200 km, which did include a few track days. They were fantastic on the track but truly a PITA for street use. New Michelin super sports are way nicer on the road.

    ahh, gotcha

    yeah, I have the same tires on mine (Cup 2's), very sticky, not so good in the cold though and they pick up every fucking rock and pebble on the ground LOL, I'm keeping them for track only and will be putting on a set of 4S for the street. Unfortunately they don't make it in a 315 for the rear which is stock size but I'm going just go with the 325, a lot of people doing that with no issues and the tread wear on the 4S is like triple the cup 2 so that will be good at least LOL
