...yes, power/weight is replacing displacement in this example, very good.
Turbo or supercharger?
Different user, but he's right, it's not like the engines make up the 2000+ lbs difference in weight.
The comparison should be made with two different engines in the same model of car.
I bet you stripped your shitbox real good
Supercharger.

>free energy
Superchargers last longer, have flatter boost response to RPM, are the same price as a turbo at worst, don't get red hot when used heavily like a turbo, don't massively heat up the air going into the engine without a massive intercooler, etc.
There's literally no argument for a turbo other than most of the retards on here own cheapshit cars which all come with turbos, never a supercharger.
It isn't free energy. Turbos create restrictions in the exhaust.
It's less parasitic, sure, but it's still parasitic.
eh, i'm a GM guy and I still think all ecotecs sound lame
like the 2.4 quad cam/iron duke/2.2 all had their own buzzy cranky noises, but they could sound really mean with just intake exhausts
ecotect 2 quiet even with a shieking supercharger on top
supercharger
low-end torque > filthy weebrevs
I have a supercharged pontiac grand prix and that thing is fun when just smashing the throttle. Otherwise it's just a fast boat. Nothing cool about it. I also own a Mazdaspeed 6 and much prefer the boost hitting at 3k rpms. Far as shenanigans the Mazda wins.
