First off any " performance gain " be it 1hp or 200 is a " real gain ". Don't belittle people for not buying a supercharger or turbo, and if you noticed you went against your own opinion by making that comparison.
Some people like to mod thier cars plain and simple. Some like to change the exhaust note, some like nitrous, some like putting 20's on thier car to be gangsta ( thanks GM /sigh ).
Personally I wouldn't want a sc or turbo, that screws my already piss poor gas mileage for my long trips. I do however like to let the engine breath better by changing the exhaust and intake some. To each thier own if you want to race serious do your thing, if ya want extra power but stay street legal do your thing, if ya want 22's and lambo doors with 200 extra pounds of stereo equipment do your thing.
