I assume when they say the supercharger is meant for the base model that it doesn't include the AWD. Bummer!!!

I know the drive train is different due to AWD, but I don't see why the SC won't fit on the AWD model. The reason you can't use it on the GT is mainly from its higher compression engine. Otherwise, I thought Base and AWD were the same under the hood.Anyone compare the two?

I guess my biggest concern is whether or not the AWD drivetrain can take the added stress of forced induction. I've heard one of the reasons the engine in the AWD model is rated lower than the engin ein the Base model is becuase the AWD mechanism can't handle a lot of stress. I hope that is wrong. I would LOVE to have more power in our Vibe.

From what I was told, the AWD engine has a lower HP rating due to a more restrictive exhaust system that is needed to clear the rear drive parts.

See this link:http://www.pantherwheel.com/v1.2/wheels/220.htmLooking at their Distributor's link, I entered Michigan and received local retailers of the Panther wheels. Check this link:http://www.pantherwheel.com/v1...h.htm
