Interesting!

It's gonna be hard (and expensive) for cars to get much lighter.

I'm gonna bust out the sarcasm meter on you, Sir.

I really only need one kidney, right?

Just my $0.02, but an apples to apples comparison means to me: supercharged to supercharged, not supercharged to non-aspirated.

It would also not be fair, and mostly not valid, to hypothetically add a supercharger to an NA engine because the whole setup of the NA car should be setup to accommodate the supercharger. The whole, "just throw a blower on it" notion is not a factory-built engineering mentality.
