I am also reading that centrifugal SCs have a sort of lag as well. Can anyone comment on this? I'm not really gunning too often. Most of my time is spent between 2.5k to 4.5k. I only get into the higher RPMs when driving come open canyons or passing at higher speeds. My concern is that I don't drive aggressively enough to really feel the gains since they come on gradually, whereas with tt, there's massive trq pretty early. On the flip side, tt costs a lot more and I am not sure how often I will actually get to utilize that massive power as well, though it's effects int he low end should be felt more.
No regrets for me and mine doesn't have lag. I like the lineal power delivery it gives on the track. Unless you drive the car like an 80 year old grandma there is no way your not going to feel the power. I was driving a friends supercharged C5 a couple weeks ago with my wife driving my car behind me, we took of from a stoplight and she went to pass me and hit the gas ( she drives a Veloster turbo so she didn't expect the car to jump) hard, she about crashed both cars when the SC came to life.
