Supercharger vs. Turbo – Imports and Domestics Hook-Up on the Street

March 18th, 2022

Which form of forced air induction is best? We all know that there’s no short answer to that question (and that doesn’t even deal with nitrous). It all depends on what you have and how well you use it. Regardless, these competitors will be going all-out on the streets tonight to prove their way is best. Let’s check it out.

First up, we have a race between a Ford Mustang 5.0 (with a Paxton blower) and a Chevrolexus. A Chevrolexus is an LS (Chevy V8 engine) swapped Lexus IS with a kit of nitrous. Theoretically, this should be a quick car. After a brief burnout, the Lexus is lined up on the left. The cars are staged in anticipation of the start. Both cars cut a clean light and the Mustang lurches forward to take an early lead. Near the midway point, the Lexus briefly pulls alongside the Mustang before blasting the nitrous and walking away for a huge victory.

Next up, we have the Paxton supercharged Mustang against a BMW 435i with a big turbo and many other modifications. This should be another good, close race.
