Wow…this is very interesting. I’m going to have to take a second look at S/C over Turbo for NA Solstice. Looks like S/C may have the advantage for street driving.
I like the immediate torque (no spooling). That and the 3.90 rear-end gear should blow the doors off any Turbo Solstice.
I’m also thinking that longevity issues give the S/C the advantage –more power @ low RPM.
