I, personally, am not.
I'm glad to see the ZR1 finally has a supercharger and is proving that Chevy can be taught...unfortunately they learn a little too late to save their failing company. Guess they had to dabble in projects like the Cobalt SS, etc. before they felt comfortable enough to put a real supercharger on a real performance vehicle and pound out the big numbers like Ford Has been doing for a decade.
Before you get too caught up in some of these modern internal combustion marvels, I would remind you that if your great-grandfather bought a Duesenberg SJ eighty years ago, it would have come with dual overhead cams and a supercharger as standard equipment.
