Kaxe...as above, what is the power delivery like in your SC ST, is it too much for a practical everyday use car? or does it just make your life worth living, meaning is 330bhp really what it says on the tin in a 1150kg car? ....also whats your weekly fuel average to a tank?

im am in neeeed to know this info

From a previous thread (no idea where it is now).

He says it is manageable but very quick. Fuel is pretty much the same and he loves it lots. No idea on real life figures for this apart from RR figures atm.

I hope he runs 0-60, 1/4mile to get some figures to relate to

I believe low 20s MPG

Also the thing with a supercharger is the power is constant whereas a turbo kicks in at say 3000rpm
So makes it much easier to drive as you still have low down torque whereas you don't with a turbo

haha cheers guys for helping Jake out, yes a supercharger is nothing like people think it's going to be. It's very smooth power. Drives like a normal until you boot it!
Love every min of it ...22.0mpg at the moment. Got it to 28.0mpg on the motorway when I could be bothered to slow down lol
Oh yes and I drive it everyday as an everyday car so it's fine lol

Any more questions and I'm all ears!

lol oh yeah at our mini meet

I'll tell you who had the best ride in my car but needed a change of underwear afterwards was Dan Griffin from STOC who bought my old system. We went straight out of JAMsport when I got it mapped to 328bhp and I took off like a jet plane! He was holding onto the seat, the dash and the handle above his head lol!
But in all seriousness we were both cheering all the way lol
My new system pops and bangs like a mother humper now!
