Is it safe to say that adding a SC only shaves your 1/4 time by a second to second and a half. If so then whats the big deal paying all that money for so little time. 3500$ all the way up to 7000$ for a max 2 seconds seems a little crazy. I guess it voids the warranty also? I am not a gear head so I don't really get it. I do get the idea of extra power, but at what cost. If I am not understanding this properly please let me know. I am not bashing SC's, i love the concept. I guess if I could afford it I might feel different. Thanks,
I was never a track person, but I like to go once in a while just to know where I stand. For me, if I own a muscle car, I am not happy owning it when I know there a tons of other stock cars that can smoke me. So now I have the looks, and the power to back it up. Do I race on the streets, no. However, the rare occasion that I do get on it against someone, I smile all over again about my purchase.If you are not going to race your Challenger, spending thousands on a supercharger is a little "over-kill." Where can you use the increased power without getting into serious trouble?
Yes, but cars also cost only a couple thousand back then as well. If you use an inflation calculator you will see that $1000 in 1967 is approx $6700 today - which, coincidentally, is about the cost of one of our superchargers.Back in the 60's it was a 1,000 dollars for every sec. faster. Today it cost's a lot more.
