    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.

    I totally agree towards the rural aspect as I have alot of hills to and fro and the SC really adds spunk since I'm not running monster tires. I really felt like it paid off big time in colorado climbing the the mountains and watching normally aspirated vehicles running in the slow lane with flashers on.

    I don't feel it does anything towards rock hopping as your not utilizing the upper powerband....just chugging along in low-range.
