	I thought I read the supercharged sunfire had 225hp..


	ah oh well I don't race anyway (er well except those lame ass little
civic "racers" that make way too much noise for only going 20mph)

	Why would you put ram-air on a supercharged engine?  Isn't that
redundant?  I thought about building a ram-air setup for my car but it
kinda seems like a waste of time.

	Because they usually sound like someone humming through a comb covered
in wax paper :)  They don't shake the ground and roar like a nice big
v8.  They seem to wear out too often too.  Everyone I've known with
turbos in their car are always whining about having to replace bearings
and some fan things and ton of other parts.  My friends 240sx turbo was
nice while it lasted.
