Not really. With our cars being limited on fuel because of the high compression your run of the mill 560hp blower car might not cut it. They've also got the slight weight advantage and more importantly a far superior aftermarket compared to ours. Companies are chomping at the bit for these to do some r&d. There is about to be a whole slew of 4-6 bangers putting pressure on our cars. Mercedes even has a 4 cylinder coming that's got 402hp with a electronic assisted turbo.
