When you put down the go pedal on the S10 it went, no hesitation, no windup on the motor, just the explosion of pure power.
All of the above being said power like that comes with a price. I finally got tired of the hot(Non airconditioned), Noisy(Dual 4" Flowmaster exhaust), Smelly(Methanol fumes) and decided to get a vehicle which I could comfortably drive in the Texas heat and actually hear my radio in.
Thus my decision to purchase an SSR. It is comfortable and I can actually hear the radio!! I am however suffering from horsepower withdrawal. I want my cake and eat it too. I want the horsepower and the rush of the supercharger as before, but don't want all of the negatives as mentioned above.
I need my fellow SSR fanatics counsel!!!

You think Methanol fumes are smelly? Oh the smell of racing fuel, Dirt and castor oil( My old flat tracking motorcycle days), Oh the old open face helmet and a front engine B/A with zoom headers, Easy just put a super charger on it for a start, You better watch out I gave up racing years ago and that SSR talked me back into it, Have medical that might stop me again but it sure is fun running that SSR down the track
