Default Those with poweradders: for track, for street, or for fun?

For those of you who have made the plunge and gotten a poweradder (turbo, nitrous, or supercharger), why did you do it?
for track numbers, to do better at the track,
to whup up on vettes/any other comers,
or JUST just for the fun of it, the seat-of-the-pants feel?

A little of it all for me.

I like the ability to twist a **** & have an extra 100 HP

Originally bought it for the track, but havn't sprayed it on the track due to lack of traction.

Its a great kick in the *** experience for on-ramp pulls though.



Eventually plan on installing the Hellion HO turbo system, and spraying NX through the intercooler. Should be fun.

Both for the track and the street.

I did it just for the joy of driving, like when you get on it and all you can do is smile.

Basically just for fun and the thrill of the speed and power. Of course the occasional ricers (like today!!!) that can't tell she's blown by looking at it is quite fun as well.

I voted just for the fun of driving it, but street prowess comes with that so kinda both but more for the fun, no, kicking **** on the street, no wait, just the fun of it... ahhh nuts can't it justbe both?
