well today i was thinking if i had 7grand in my pocket what would i do with it, buy a turbo for the zhp, or sell my zhp and put the money together and buy a e46 m3? lol
i just want to see what people say about this and what your opinions are.
(just a general question lol dont got the money yet) hahahaha

M3's are beautiful cars. Tons of horsepower, great suspension and badging all turn heads when you drive by. But if you turbo your ZHP you will essentially have everything the M3 has in a different package. (I would go supercharger over single turbo any day though. But that's just me).
Stick with your ZHP. Throwing a supercharger under the hood just makes it a sleeper. No one will expect it to be "That" fast.

I don't even want to imagine what I want to do with 7k. Supercharge would be your best bet IMO.

Supercharged ZHP is an amazing sleeper. M3's are nice and people know its quick. But a SC'd ZHP is definitely quicker.

Umm, engine work is supposed to accompany forced induction if you want your engine to last...........
So that 7k is looking like an awfully small budget all of a sudden.

If I had to make a choice, I would get the turbo. When it's not in boost, you still have a hope of getting decent gas mileage, where with the supercharger, you don't.

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.
