Whatever happened to twin superchargers?

Don't let your experience with older turbocharged cars turn you away from the concept. Things have changed a lot since the '80s. A Z with a properly sized turbo has almost no lag. Other than the initial spool-up, the powerband looks very similar to the NA powerband, only with 200+whp more.

It doesn't matter what kind of aftermarket forced induction you choose from a reliability standpoint. A turbo setup isn't inherently less reliable than a SC setup. It's all in part selection, maintenance and the tune.

Honestly, before you drop a LOT of money for the car and mods, see if there's someone local to you with a FI Z. A ride in both would make it a lot easier to decide. Post in the appropriate regional subforum here and see if someone will take you for a spin.
