So unless your using a massive GT35R you'll barely notice lag, I have a GT2860RS and when i put my foot down the car goes, there is no lag, and I'm using 9.0:1 CR

Supercharging to me is stupid, it takes power to make power, turbos dont.
we can sit here and argue about it all day, its all personal preference if they make a factory supercharged good for them, ill still rather turbo mine.
I couldn't agree more. Elimnating lag, or making it less noticeable takes the right compression ratio and proper turbo sizing. Both of which Subaru can match. I do hope they go this route with a Sti model.
