i would like to know how much better a vibe would be with a supercharger i am thinking about it but is not sure. Some of my friends make fun of the vibe calling it a station wagon.
This is my opinion only, but it is not a huge difference. It is a nice kick when you need it, but overall it is not a huge gain that is really noticeable unless you are really on it in WOT. That and at very high RPMs are the only times it is much difference. I will have numbers for 0-60 and 1/8th mile differences next Friday!

Some of my friends make fun of the vibe calling it a station wagon. you also need to remember that the s/c will not fit the 05 vibes. only 03/04. if you want fast, then go turbo. the s/c is great for everyday driving and gives power all the way across. turbo will get you high end power, but more money from what everyone else has said. blue crush has his s/c for sale, great price! just need to get an a/m ecm like unichip.
i don't know if either turbo (currently offered) or s/c will fit your vibe. do a search on 05 supercharger. there are some issues with the later 05 models but if you got one made early enough, you might still be ok.
some talking heads on the tv say that the affect of the hurricanes could drive gas prices way up, so if your friends give you crap about your car, tell them to go stuff it while they are in line at the gas station.
