I'm approaching 15k on my ESS 625 and still looks good.

That's not bad at all...guess you really take care of your car and don't beat on it

That's a good distance ..get like 4 oil changes in before you gotta deal with that issue

How much harder is it to change the serpentine belt with the blower as opposed to on a stock car?

Can't imagine it's much harder as opposed to being more time consuming (relatively speaking and coming from the angle of having more pulleys to work around).

Well being supercharged I change oil every 5k, so im already on my 3rd oil change since SC. But doubt ill need to worry about belt for another 40-50k

Lmao yeah I do. I haven't done a road course track yet. But I went to the drag strip with it last weekend street tires and the worlds worst launch pad I got it to 8.7 on the 1/8 I could do way better with stickier tires

620+ HP in this car is already damn near overkill. Very, very few vehicles on the road will outrun it. Go with a supercharger kit and enjoy it. +1 for the Active Autowerke kit, but I'm entirely biased.

Heh. No. Basic turbo Coyote or LS3 car will wipe the floor with even the fastest E92 M3. And that's just two different engines, there's a ton of others too.

So if someone turbocharges their Mustang or Corvette, it would be faster? Come on now..... who cares? You entirely missed the point. I know people who have built 5.0's for pennies that put down 800hp. It's not common on the road.

I never said that there were no faster cars on the road, just that there are very few cars that are faster. I don't know here you live, but I could pass 1,000 cars on the road and I might come by a car or two that is faster. If you want the fastest car, obviously you might go in a different direction.
