Default no matter whatcha do there's always gonna be someone faster...
i have a blast on the track with my 12v honestly. There are a lot of more powerful cars out there when I'm on the track, but there's nothing like passing the bigger/more powerful ones in the turns cuz they're too big to zip (I use this loosely) through the corners.

There are guys with stock 4000s (a raging 115 hp) on the track and have an absolute blast... all in how ya look at it I guess.

I say go for it! I'd bet that car would be a blast to use on the track w/ that supercharger!

Default ha, yeah that's the beauty of the 12v... you hit the apex and just tromp on the throttle...
engine doesn't have enough pickup to take off, so you just gradually speed up as you straighten out the wheel...

kinda fun

Default it's a supercharged, intercooled 2.8 running 10 psi of boost.
It's not at 325hp yet but it will get there if I have anything to say about it.

Default Imagine what it could do w/another 150whp or so?
They are not using the hottest setup out there, probably due to rules.
