Before you get all excited about supercharging a C5, read the install time 2-3 WEEKS. The labor is rediculous and by the time the car is driving, you will probably have spent close to 10K. Also 11.7 @ 126 is a horrible ET for that mph. Everyone forgets about the little things that need to be done when building a car and how much money to set aside when the engine blows and the drivetrain spits out because it will. I'm sure that ET is crappy because they were scared to put slicks on it because the drivetrain would explode. I also have a hard time believing it went 126 mph with only 416 rwhp(490 w/ 15% loss). I would need to be there to believe that. The 03 Cobra is still in it's infancy stage. wait until a few knowledgable people get their hands on them and start modding them. Remember, it has a fully forged rotating assembly . After blowing up an engine, that carries alot of weight with me.
