I have to convince my dad to go half and half with me on a supercharger on my car. so i have to convince him to drop bout 3 grand in a car that he never drives. help me out and tell me good reasons why its good to supercharge a car. and in the end will i get my money back out?
uhmmm well it definitely will go faster.... im 17 and i decided to get the cervinis kit instead of a procharger due to the fact there is no way in hell my dad would let me supercharge my gt, and i dont really need the power

Since no one else answered, no, you will not get anywhere near your money back out of it. There's technically no reason that'll help convince him that more power is good for you if he doesn't drive it.

Cuz a supercharger is teh awesome.... I can see wanting a supercharger, but there is no way you are going to NEED one. And I don't really see how you'd get any money back out of it. It isn't going to help your gas mileage or your insurance. However it will increase the smiles/dollar value...
Either way... I want one too

While superchargers can be beyond awesome I can't really think of a single reason you could use to convince your dad to go halves on a supercharger. It's just one of those things you'll have to save up for and cover yourself.

I remember seeing a documentary about the 1981 Mt. St Helens eruption. The film was taken by a helicopter that was traveling above a road that exited the park. When the mountain started to blow, people got in their cars and headed down the mountain as fast as they could. The helicopter followed the road everybody took while the narrator told a survivor's story. The survivor remembered passing a large Ford station wagon powered by a big block v-8 that was going down the mountain at 95 mph. The station wagon didn't make it. It was overtaken by the heavy, hot volcanic ash and the helicopter showed the remains of the station wagon tumbled off the road side all twisted up. The occupants were dead. The survivor made it. He was going 120mph.
Tell your dad you need a supercharger because Mt. St Helens might blow again.
Or tell him you need a supercharger because you could be driving along the coast and a tsunami could get you before you are able to climb the hill away from the ocean. Or tell him you need a supercharger because without one, aliens might be able to abduct you. Or tell him you need a supercharger because he could be with you and start having a heart attack and you could get him to the hospital faster. Or tell him you need a supercharger because then you won't need a motorcycle.
Logical arguments are the best arguments to make an appeal to Dads.
Be warned. After hearing that you want a supercharger, your Dad may also reconsider your need for a V-8 pony car.
Be careful, young man. Car wrecks suck. Sorry to rain on your parade, but when I was young, I damned near got killed in a car wreck. And several of my friends were nearly killed in wrecks they got in.
Other than to help get u laid......which in no way gets your dad laid.....I believe you should not get an S/C.... in the long run your father will pay a whole lot more than what he gave you for the s/c if you can convince him to help you buy one. (increased insurance costs, repairs, maintainence costs and replacements costs when you blow the motor, etc) JMO J
