These are luxury cars, I wouldn't think one bit of modding mine with a super/turbo charger. I need gas mileage now.
We mod our cars cuz we can...and want
Solara is not a luxury car.
And if you want good gas milage you should have gotten echo or corolla.
Oh yea and supercharger that people have is made by toyota so it's not really modding it's upgrading, if that makes sense.

So a 30,000 dollar car is considered a nice car.. may be not luxury but it sure has a lot of nice features compared to my mustangs. As far as your gas mileage comment, I modded all of my stangs to the point where they got 9-12 mpg... so a solara is a big step up from that.
It doesn't matter who made the supercharger, its modifying the engine from the factory.. even though it is a Toyota part.
I guess I could consider you guys who modify these cars... ricers.

if we'd all been out buying that lame "jet" chip off of ebay and installing it in our cars, then i'd say...that's ricey.

To each his own buddy, to each his own.
Most of the tuning community around where I live is mad eup of V8 domestics liek your GT. So I'm usually hanging with them. One of my best buds drives a Procharged Mach 1 and has mad respect for my car. HAving ridden in my car and our friends 04GT with intake and pulleys, he says mine pulls harder from pretty mch any roll. I like the way the Solara looks more than any Mustang I've ever seen, and that's why I choose to modify and tune it. Sure I could pick up a GT for the same price I got my Solara at, but in no way shape or form would I want to. Nothing makes up for the look on people faces when I pull on cars they never thought I'd stand a chance against. Plus I know and trust Toyotas to hold up, and they're great cars.
So Mr. Mustang, I have respect for any other car out there, and my buddys who tune cars like your mustangs around here have respect for my car. I can and will give a nod to anybodys desire to tune any car they chose, and I don't understand why you can't either. So al that considered I'm going to give you a nice big fubar-beyond-fubar-in-a-lunar-fubar off for calling me a ricer. Have a nice day douche.
