wrong

how so. Diesel Jetta are turbo charged. GM uses turbocharges for forced induction. they learned their lesson that superchargers are only good for V8s and stopped using superchargers on their 4 cylinder cars like the cobalt, sky, soltice, g5, etc...

Sucks balls my boys civic si smoked it and its tiny little turbo.

Then it wasnt a Turbo or supercharged Cobalt. They made SS that werent. The early Cobalts had Eaton m45 supercharger, the newer ones are turbo, and they are quick. Most can keep up with me or close and my GTP runs 13 flat.

OP look into 04-05 GTP, or if you want turbo you can find an 03-04 Jetta 1.8 Turbo, or a GTI. Almost anything can be made fast with enough money.

Wrong. GM used Superchargers on 3800 v6's for almost ten years up until like 07, and superchargers on 4 bangers as well. Motors have changed, v6's and v8's can be made lighter, smaller, cheaper, more powerful and more cost effectively. So there isnt much use for forced induction from the newer models like the G8.

4 cylinders just blow alltogether

maybe you missed the part of me saying that GM use to run superchargers and now use turbochargers. all motors including 4 cylinders can be made faster and more cost efficient. as for the "there isn't much use for forced induction from the newer models like the G8", I have to say there is no such thing as too much power. and for the 4 cylinders just blow, my focus is faster than your 13sec GM and I don't have boost.

all the vehicles you named use turbochargers not superchargers. and no way a TDI Jetta is doing 160 mph with significant mods.

Why wouldn't it...?

My stock V6 Mustang did 120 like a pro, and still had more... and it's an over-weight cow that only has 140bhp. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

stock gear ratio's wouldn't allow it and the amount of power needed to overcome the drag after 130 just isn't there. you'd need around 250hp to over come the drag reached at 140 plus the gear ratio.

Well show me that timeslip. No n/a focus is close to 13 seconds. Chances are you dont have a clue how fast it is, but no matter its still a Ford Focus
