    supercharged/turbocharged basically the same concept. add more power. supercharged is ok as long as you remember to change the oil in them or have a locked up engine. which is exactly why i didn't get a supercharged grand prix. The 455 in my t/a has plenty power for me.

    You didn't get a supercharged one because the engine will lock up because you will forget to change the supercharger oil? Did I get that correct?


    Changing the blower oil takes like 10 min.

    you change the sc oil like every 30,000 k miles? its not a monthly chore..

    you dont want a s/c engine because your too lazy to do something that takes 10 minutes lol.
