Yes. There have been CUSTOM project RACE CARS that run a good 1/4 mile times with large cubes, high boost, and high stalled automatics.
For a street car, or a manual trans, you do NOT want a rear mount.

If you don't believe or accept what I am saying, go drive a few rear mounts turbo cars, many front mounts, many centrifugal, and many positive displacement supercharger cars to come to your own conclusion.
Or, just listen to someone who has.

Well I don't believe you or blindly accept your assessment about excessive Turbo Lag or a lack of full boost until the middle gears. I like my STS Turbo Charged Camaro.

What other forced induction systems have you personally driven to compare to your STS Camaro?
Who built those cars and what are their combinations?

Drive a front mount twin turbo back to back with your STS. Same thing goes for a Kenne Bell/Whipple/TVS superchargers and then get back to us.
I can request a guy I know PERSONALLY who TRASHED his personal STS systems because he is getting better boost delivery AND more power with a cetri. Both were built by ECS. So, I think he is about unbiased as you can get. The guy has built MANY cars and knows what he is talking about as well.

Ive never been able to compare the two first hand but I have read this more then a couple of times on different forums that rear mounts don't preform as well as front. Does this make it true--no, but its enough to make me a believer. I suppose if I was going to go this route I would look it up first as any of you should if you are considering this 70000$$$$$ beast...

That just looks awsome.

I like the hood decal, otherwise it just looks like a huge cop-caller... like waving a red flag in front of a bull. "Need to make your monthly ticket quota? Here I am!"

$70,000 is a lot of F*****g money but it looks nasty.
