Wonder where the supercharger is?

Is this the car in the Super Chevy article that they “experimented” on?
If so, I’d have to take back my “nicest” comment.... still a nice car but...

Agreed. I think it's a significant omission to leave out that an engine that already has a compression ratio of 11:1 had a supercharger on it for some period of time. And according to the article was driven a decent distance with the supercharger and no intercooler or tuning/fuel enrichment...

Might have had more interest if it was still on there.
Not many like that, so the "cool" quotient of such a car would be high.

Somebody in the BaT "peanut gallery" asked about the
supercharger!
No answer from the seller yet...
A little over 5 hours left, last time I looked
the bid was at $19k.

Very true....I wonder why they took it off in the first place.....I mean, talk about rare....Don't know the first thing about tuning a Z with a supercharger ...I'm sure Marc or Dempsey would try there luck to it...

Just rechecked the listing.
The seller responded, but I think he's confused, doesn't really know or is covering up? He talked about a C6 ZR1 which is supercharged that
he owned before, but didn't really answer the question???

Perhaps they were concerned that it might be perceived as the "Little Old Lady from Pasadena's" 413 if it is the one.
You know "low mile" car with miles added 1/4 at a time.


Still, popping the hood to reveal an LT-5 Boat Motor with a Blower would have to cause a stir wherever it went, regardless of the relatively small HP add it delivered.
I for one, would find it neat!
Very unlike the 6,000 or so others.
