You misunderstand me. I'll clarify.

The main customer who drives the FR-S "R" with a Roots will go "this car must have a v8!!!" wow!!!

That same customer who drives the FR-S "C" with a centrifugal sc will go "what power? this feels stock".

The centri sc would be most notable to people who know:

A. What a centrifugal charger does
B. Where the relevant power band is for track use (ie. above 4000 rpms on this car as you are shifting near redline which drops your rpms to no lower than 4000 for the next gear. No one cares about idle-3,000 rpms one the track.

That being said, this type of power band is not important to 95% of people. Therefore the Roots/twinscrew/smallish turbo is best for them.
