O nice nice. I have an e92 m3 now that I supercharged but I miss turbo cars so I'm gonna be getting out of the m3 this summer.

Sorry to be slightly off topic, but what is it about the supercharged M3 that doesn't 'do it for you' like a turbo car?

I know the e92 really lacks low-down torque in stock form, but I would've thought supercharging it would make it every bit as good as a turbo car?

(I've never had the privilege of driving a supercharged M3; it's the car I always regret not buying when I got my 135i)

Only one - I regret selling my `92 Subaru Liberty RS Turbo... They're very rare now and I really didn't know how good it was until I got rid of it.

But the reason I've still got my 135i is I know I'd regret it if I sold it. ... I honestly think the only way I could get a new car now is to keep the 135i as a second car.

Oh, man, regrets in selling a car. I guess the one that hurts the most is the Candy Apple Red '68 GT500KR I bought when I was a kid for $9000. Pristine, no excuses car. Still had the original spark plugs in it. Sold it because it wasn't a four-speed. Yeah, I'm an idiot..

To be honest I miss the power of the Evo. It had more power, more traction, and was much lighter. I grew to love the felling of when full boost hits and a supercharger is just very progressive and has no punch. I prefer the feel of turbo cars. The lag doesn't bother me. It's the calm before the storm. My next car will be a twin turbo v8 so best of both worlds. Its also easier to make more power on turbo cars.

1992 BMW 325is 5-speed, non-vanos, sport in Bright red with Dove interior. It was my first love. It had a factory LSD. It had no nannies. The stock engine was all cams and with the Dinan performance chip it just emptied my wallet needing rear tires... I just loved the way it had an ounce more oomph than the integras and mitsus of its day

My point was that my current e92 m3 supercharger with only 7.5 psi of boost that comes on gradually has no punch compared to a modified turbo car, such as my old Evo, which hit 32psi at 3500 rpm all at once. You can't even compare the gradual 7.5 psi over the entire rpm range to going from 0psi to 32psi in just a couple hundred rpm in the Evo.

Just one. A 1990 Mitsubishi Galant GSX. I paid $500 for it and it was way too much fun. A little five speed, awd, beater car that I would take down gravel roads way too fast and not have to worry about putting it in a ditch.

I think I sold it for $1200 and would kill to have it back.
