I have been a focus owner for 5 years, driving a slowpoke spi around, dreaming of some day being able to own an svt.....

well my day has come, i have the money and theres a nice little 2003 svt with a JC supercharger at a local dealership.....

54000 miles on it, great body and paint, new clutch new brakes.......only asking 6500......sounds perfect right.....

The only problem is, I know next to nothing about forced induction, I was looking more towards a regular bonestock N/A car....

so my questions are whether or not i should be skeptical about the reliability of a daily driven supercharged fsvt.......during the test drive, it had no hesitation to move whatsoever....It's got spunk.....but will it last...

I'm very weary, because i don't want to jump head first into a lemon......I want a reliable car, but i really want a fsvt.....

any suggestions would be much appreciated.....any advice whatsoever....

like what to look or listen for when i go back to test drive it again......any possible problems with JC superchargers......ect......
