I never mentioned anything about a track. I would never track a car with forced-induction that came NA from the factory.

Which is why I'm not fixated on E.T. as it is relatively meaningless to me. What does matter however is trap-speed, where the data is equally as unimpressive.

I agree that not everyone has $20K+ to throw at a proper turbo setup, and even if they do...I'm sure they have more sense than to spend that much on engine-modifications when they could have bought a faster car to begin with (LOL...like one just as fast as the end-product in bone-stock trim, for less than G37/370 MSRP + $20K). Still, going forced-induction, even with a kit marketed as "relaible" which only nets you an extra <80 RWHP makes little sense to me. From what I've seen thus far, the gains from SC setups do not warrant the cost when you compare it a bolt-on car.
