Can anyone post links to videos where the sound of a Supercharged Goblin can be compared to a Turbocharged Goblin?

I added a poll up above.

I'm torn between the intake noise of the supercharger and the exhaust noise of the turbo.

I guess I'm the odd duck here. The sound of a vehicle doesn't mean anything to me as long as it sounds like its running good and pretty much quite as it can reasonably be.

I don't care about exhaust noises unless it sounds like an angry bee in a tin can, get that **** out of here. Also, Ford V8 exhaust notes are nice.

I do enjoy turbo noises, however.

Actually, when I think Supercharged sound, this is what I hear in my head, video is something I shot a few years ago.

Holy smokes, there was a Citation X-11 in the first video (almost at the end) with a blower - guessing someone did a little reconfiguration of the drivetrain in that one! :D

TC No-Lift Shifting

Question only for those with the TC LNF: The Cobalt turbo models have a no lift shifting feature that allows the throttle to be kept down while shifting, does this feature work in the Goblin? Has anyone tried it? Curious to see if using it will just haze the tires when shifting gears?

Can‘t believe that you go over 100mph in your Goblin. If I get off throttle over 70mph mine is a hand full to keep on the road. But one step at a time, first I need to finish the harness, then the new engine, then the suspension.

Sounds like you have either the front end or backend (or both) going through a toe angle change accelerating versus decelerating. Typically when one end or the other goes toe out, and it doesn't take much at higher speeds, does a car feel squirrely. The change in pitch - nose up/rear down under acceleration or nose down/ rear up under deceleration - is the cause of the toe change. It may take some experimentation to determine which end is changing.
Other factors can be the tire pressures, the shock rebound settings, camber angle or even the front castor angle can contribute to this type of problem. Make small changes and see if it gets better or worse.

Alignment, suspension settings and tires pressure are key. Then you can start getting into aero.
