Should I get the supercharger?

I'm thinking about keeping the TL-S for another two years ... then handing it down to my younger brother. I'm thinking I can use the Charger for a couple years, and then sell it for 60% of what i paid for it brand new .. I'll also piece out the icebox and headers at that time as well...

does that sound crazy?

I've come into a couple thousand that i can add a couple more two in the next four months or so ... hence my new query.

Go for it, I'm going to as well.
It will help me keep my car a few more years too.
Better than buying a new car again.

A friend of mine just bought a used s2k 'charged for 75% of what it was new.. and it runs great ... don't see why i'd have a problem... i know MOST people on this board would love to get the charger, but just don't want to pay the up front $5000 .. I think $2500-3000 would be much more attractive..

John, check your email

I'm not even worried about the tranny anymore,... I'll obviously get the tranny cooler .. so that'll make me feel better about things.. hell, MOST of the time I'm cruising at 70-80mph on the highway (most of mydriving) .. so it's not like I'd be beating on the tranny all the time
