[QUOTE="Ry_Trapp0, post: 9374439, member: 27761"] hardly! with companies that never really played around with superchargers much in the past, if at all, such as GM, audi, and VW using the eaton TVS in factory applications, the supercharger still has a LONG life span in the OE world. from a cost and packaging stand point, complete turbo systems aren't really comparable to superchargers in the least in a factory application. obviously a company such as BMW will use turbos over superchargers because they are so much more efficient in power production(the company does have one of the most efficient engines made afterall, the 4.0l V8), and obviously ford will use turbos in downsized engines for fuel efficiency reasons, but neither point matters to a car like the GT500. ford isn't concerned with producing the 'ultimate driving machine' when doing so would eat into their profits, and fuel efficiency is certainly the last piece of the equation(hell, the 2011 GT500 doesn't even have gas guzzler tax IIRC).
