Just thought I'd share since my car is supercharged too.

Very nice, and nice supercharger whine too.

That thing has some wicked axle tramp off the line eh? Can you slip the clutch more or is it unavoidable?

What were your times before the filter swap?

I ran a 14.8 before the K&N cold air intake.

Yeah, this car has terrible wheel hop. These cars come with a sport clutch already so slipping it is kind of hard.

GM did a nice job on the design. did you change the shifter? not sure
if it was a proto at the Chicago AutoShow last year, but it felt really
rubbery, loose, and clutch also felt like it was hooked up to rubber bands.

very cool!

I like your car a lot-especially since it is red! 14.27 at 98 is pretty fast! my old stage one buick runs 13 teens at 104-and gets a whopping 8 mpg doing it!
