Not All Centrifugal Superchargers Are Created Equal

True story.

To answer the OP, a supercharged 370Z should be a bit faster than the 3 mentioned [stock] luxury cars.

The S4 has AWD, should be pretty quick from a dig. Jnaut's driving a RS4 now, we've run eachother a bunch of times on the track and . He runs similar ET's but about 1 or 2 mph slower than my Z. He wins the 1/8 mile but I win the 1/4 mile. I could be wrong but I don't think the many of the modded V8 S4's are much faster than that.

From what I've seen the newer M3's are pretty quick, low 13's to high 12's but in the mid to low 11x mph trap speeds. Pretty quick for stock IMO.
