Screw the turbo vs SC debate. They all have their place in our world.
You can't deny the noticeability of a supercharger like the ProCharger or the Vortech. I've had so many compliments, it's not even funny. Not to mention the fact that you can stay out of boost (to conserve gas) pretty easily with the ProCharger or Vortech.
...but the turbo, there is no denying it's in a league of it's own, both price and power-wise. If it's the sound you think is ricey, keep in mind... at least the ProCharger has a surge valve which has a very unique sound. I'm not sure about the Vortech, though....

As for sounding cool, the best I have heard are teh twin screws, but I heard prochargers and vortechs at the shop and I can say the procharger is unique, and sounds bad ***.
On the turbo, its expensive which is why you don't see them on a lot of stangs. I was talking to a cobra owner yesterday and he was considering a twin turbo setup, but couldn't stomach the money he had to dish out. The turbo actually deepened my exhaust note.
I almost went with the Vortech, was really close to getting it. I'm sure I would have been happy with that too.

Meh, personal opinion.
And I never said your car was, I just stated my opinion.
I don't care if you want to flame me

Because imports have turbos? Sorry, can't post this comment without backing it up. All the top drag cars are running turbos, and I'm talking domestics. And I was worried about how the turbo would make my exhaust sound, and it sounds pretty good IMO. As for the sound of a SC, I love the sound of a twin screw, but a centri doesent sound any more attractive than a turbo. Actually mine is pretty quiet in real life, you have to listen for it. Its all based on opinion though, just like exhaust. But a rice comment? So my car is rice?
The Xcharger sounds awesome IMO.

I plan on going S/C. I've always been a fan of the S/C, sound and specs.
I think the Turbo's are too rice

RE: Convince Me
I am a Turbo fan too, I would just rather do an S/C on my car.
Most of the 4.6 guys want to switch to a TT setup. They are more powerful down the road, I mean a buddy of mine has a Supra pushing TWENTY TWO(22) POUNDS! I thought that was crazy!

Is there a lot of Twin-Screws for our 4.0 yet? Or mostly Cent? I've seen like two, that X-Charger and I can't think of the other.

RE: Convince Me
That's the first time I've ever heard anyone call a turbo ricey. Turbos predate the rice phenom by decades, there's nothing ricey about them.
I would be interested to hear a comparison of a blown V6 Mustang to a GT Mustang as far as how the power -feels-. Based on the numbers it looks like the blown V6s are the same as or a little faster than a GT, but is the profile of the power delivery different? That's what I've been wondering. I'm still on the fence about whether to go with a power adder or wait a bit and trade my ride in on a GT.
