No.

Incorrect, but interesting logic?

"American" cars can't turn.

Well you thought wrong. A turbocharger is a supercharger that is powered by a turbine. A turbine is a mechanism that takes advantage of fluid flow to spin a shaft. A supercharger is any device that compresses air before it enters an engine. So technically a turbo is a Turbo-Supercharger. The name was just…

No, then they build an association of a turbo as always having a centrifugal compressor, which is technically inaccurate as well. I'm sure someone out there, somewhere has fitted an axial compressor stage to a turbocharger or maybe a roots stage. That would be interesting.

Technically, that is just a supercharger. A supercharger that is driven by a turbine is technically called a turbosupercharger, but most of the time this is shortened to turbocharger or turbo. So no, a pulley driven turbo doesn't exist. You could have a turbine from a turbocharger driving a roots blower and it…

I laughed.

At Cars and Coffee Charlotte last weekend, checking out this clean LQ (6.0 iron block LS1) swapped S14 240sx. I made a comment to my brother that the engine bay has plenty of room for twin turbos in front of the shock towers.

That is the most obnoxious thing I've ever heard in my life. That long, slow climb to 100 with that droning fart canned 4 cylinder noise..... makes me so happy to have a lively V8 in my cars.

A 13 second quarter is very respectable, especially considering how heavy a truck is. That thing would beat most hondas I've seen at the strip.

Droooooooool

Nice.

I see what you did there...

Exactly. This is why most helicopters have a bar under the tailrotor.

DANGER TO THE MANIFOLD!

The driving difference you'll notice isn't the acceleration, but the silence and the lack of drama associated with that acceleration.

Still irrelevant.

You're comparing apples to oranges here. A blown big block will certainly have a wider power band than the electric motor in this car.

Depending on how the beam pattern is, you can just fire at whatever the flashlight is pointing at. This is better than a set of sights at night anyways.

I love it when someone goes crazy because an engine has 130 horsepower and 400 FT LBS OF TORQUE!!!! OMFG!!!11!one
