Cool Superchargers vs Turbochargers

Good one this, it will always create a split between the closest of friends.

I like both of the forced induction ideas but I think the general consensus has been that a Supercharger can produce boost all the way through the rev range where as a turbo can't.
You can get around this by using Sequential turbos which is very expensive and very difficult to achieve (Subaru did it with the Legacy Twin turbo B4).

On the street I am more into Superchargers but when it comes to racing.. a huge or even 2 huge (not sequential) turbos are hard to beat. Just think about the Porsche 935/78!
