In terms of power potential, there isn't much of an argument. BMW is squeezing 520 rwhp (dyno, not claimed) out of a 3.0 L motor. Most ZL1s don't put down much more (560 on average) with DOUBLE the displacement (granted 24 psi vs 9 psi). McLaren gets 750 rwhp out of a 4.0 L. Quite a few Audi guys get 600+ out of their 2.5L (modded)

Turbo lag isn't the argument it once was, lag is there at lower rpm, but not terrible. Supercharger generates a very linear power curve but also a little boring? Better gas mileage when you're cruising is another advantage.

Please no EV stuff, we know a Plaid will do x in a roll on

My new 22 bmw x4m comp with mid pipe and racechip just put down 587whp and 563tq. There’s still a little turbo lag at low rpm’s.

I like both tbh.
