It is definitely slower than the N/A. It is because you're car is not JUST shutting off the Supercharger and operating the engine normally, but it is rather going into 'LIMP' mode where it restricts all processes in the engine to a point where it is still drivable but as far as possible from causing engine damage due to heat.

...a SRT with an out of commission I/C pump is slower than a prius. Seriously.

P.S. 7 month old thread.
