    A Brand new Alpine Supercharger sold on ebay last week for $2500 Makes me mad

    I think it sold with one bid at the minimum with no reserve, I found the auction AFTER it ended. It was posted on Planet Isuzu.

    The seller claimed it was the Last new one available, not sure if that's accurate, but I'm sure it's one of very few.

    Oh, no! you shouldn't have posted this.. will make a lot of people here bitter (myself included)
    this one should have ended up with someone on this forum... the seller lost at least $1k from me by not adding "vehicross" to the item description!!!

    Call 'em up...

    And If I had found that auction before it ended I wouldn't have posted it

    I just would have bought it.

    I called them a long time ago. NOT available.. asked them to remove the page from their site.. they are obviously too lazy to do that...

    VX supercharged.

    Oh guys !

    Going Supercharged was roaming in my mind for a few days,but after few inputs i've changed my mind

    The reason is the city i live.....the GREAT APPLE NYC,here speed isn't a opcion.

    Every day i see those guys with their SRT-8 grand cherokee & charger trying to have some "fun" running through traffic lights at red.usually cops pull them over once the SRT-8 emblem is sighted on the spot
    It's deffinetly a waste of money having one of those rocket-on-wheels here in the city

    I never really considered the S/C to be a "speed" addition, but it is a great perk for a power additive. I live in a fairly rural area with many hills. Pre-S/C, some of those hills made my VX pant like a dog. Post-S/C, she crawls up with more ease. But, the added speed boost at higher RPMs on highway use is a treat, when I am not sitting in DC beltway traffic, heh.

    I imagine the rock hopper folks that do MOAB with the S/C could tell ya just how much more helpful it is. Probably more beneficial for that sort of use, IMHO.
