I agree that a S/C would be better suited to a premium FPV vehicle rather than standard across the range.

My worry is whether or not the market is ready for all FPV's to be forced induction?

Perhaps a better plan is to start off with the first series having one model with s/c, then the next cycle having it across the range in different forms.

I dont know, never thought I would be saying that supercharging across the range mightn't be the best answer.

I can imagine the GM fans and some media outlets, "oh you guys only get power because ist s/ced! blah blah". Now I dont rally care what they think but perception plays a big part.

If FPV are going to play the greeny card by having a smaller engine (even if the power is equal or greater to HSV) then popping s/cers on all models isn't going to help.

Perhaps it all wont matter as they will just be envious anyway.
