If your chief concern is the drag strip, and I'm saying this in all seriousness here, I don't think you should purchase an ITR. It's not built for it and there are cheaper, faster cars out there in the quarter. It's been said again and again, the ITR is a track car. I'd save your money, txhatch

BTW, I'm from Irving, where are you located?

I live near grapevine. I am not getting an ITR for the drag strip. I am wanting to start auto xing and go to some road courses.

The JRSC has no aftercooler. Heat soak is a pretty big issue with all superchargers, so I don't think running them on full boil on a road course is the best idea, although they would be fine for an autocross (although not competitive).

Go all-motor on the ITR...if you want forced induction turbo is still the way to go.

Shingo, good point about the aftercooler but does the JRSC have enough boost to necessitate an aftercooler?
