Question "Leader in supercharged power"

WTF is this about? I was watching TV last night and saw a Pontiac commercial that said something about "leader in ram air" (showed a WS6) and "leader in supercharged power" (showed a GTP). What is this crap about? How do they even justify saying something like that? I was LMAO!

Im not trying to defend them but the reason they probably got away with saying that is because the cobra and lightning are "specialty" or "limited production" vehicles. But still, that is pretty funny. Leader in supercharged power my @ss!

True. I just think it's funny when you hear all of those GM guys pull out the "we don't need superchargers to make power" while ads like this are running.

Got a question on that....I am planning on running against my girlfriend's GTP, should I expect much of a race or should I run away with it. Truthfully I'm pretty sure I could even take her off the line....any thoughts??

If she's stock, no race...if she's got pullies and the etc and you're stock, she -might- have a chance.

Depends on what "leader" means. If it means number of supercharged vehicles on the road, I'll bet Pontiac is right. They have been strapping Eatons on V6's for years. Buick has also.

"Leader," "#1," "best," and the like are so mushy that they often cannot form the basis for a false advertising claim. Depends on how you define the term.
