This looks like it could be the answer for the missing horsepower in our RX8s.

Did you look at this? it is nothing more than a peice of metal or plastic stuck on the hood with double sided tape! I don't see how this will add any Horsepower.

Dude, I think it was a joke.

Very funny too, btw...because when I saw "$200 supercharger" I thought "oh no...not again".

Yes, my friend - it is called a JOKE.

What, you can't see how sticking this on your hood would add horsepower? My friend added it to his Hyundai Elantra and instantly gained 30 HP at the crank.

That would depend on which crank wans being yanked.

30 HP on a Hyundai, is that a 50% or 100% increase?

That is too funny. If I had money laying around, I would get one of those and stick it on my Jeep Wrangler and tell everyone "Yea, it's got a supercharger on it for getting through those tough mud holes." :D

Didn't they tell you? It will only work if you paint it YELLOW.

I think it would look very real if you cut-out a hole in your hood, for it to poke-thru. Anyone wanna give it a try?

If it turns out looking real good that way, maybe we can get a group buy going, eh?

:D

I want one. Much cheaper than that Canzoomer thing... You can't even see his without opening the hood. What good is that?!?!?!?

On a serious note, i'm putting it on my watch list to see if it sells. It's kind of gives me the same feeling when you watch Jerry Springer, just to know people are wierder than you.

Hey, if you've got the groundeffects, and you've got the wing, take the next step. These guys are f'ng great. If it was $50 I would buy it as a joke and put it on buddies hoods at night (not fastened with the tape of course) and see their reactions when they find their car with a brand new blower in the morning.

Buy the blower on e-bay and get the lowering kit here.

The lowering kit is in the "accessories"

Sign me up for a muffler bearing or three and I bet the 8's superior braking ability could only be enhanced by the crossdrilled stainless steel brake lines. That is a great site, thanks snap-on.
