Top mounted intercooler. No supercharger, regular turbo.
There are cars with both supercharger and turbocharger, volkswagen golf, for example; WW2 fighters also used twincharging if I'm not completely mistaken.
kitamesume:
yea, read some articles with successful super+turbo chargers though most of them are custom DIY projects.
JoonasTo:
The regular Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI uses twincharging.
Lancia Delta S4 rally car used twincharging back in the day too. With 2.3 seconds to 100km/h we can say it was quite succesfull too. ;D

A friend and i already checked underneath the car before i bought it. Seemed fine. I noticed today though that the driver side door lock won't go down when i push it but will lock fine and go down no problem if i use the key to lock it instead. I looked it up and apparently 90's and early 00's Honda's actuators sometimes go bad. I plan on calling the dealer to see if it might be covered under their 30 day warranty but if not it looks like a cheap fix i could do myself and it still locks fine.

yea proper gears are cheaper than hospital fees, though running a bike at reckless speeds always leads to accidents, most likely deaths, be it geared or not. car's shell can save your life better than open air bike though =P, i`d like to see an airbag on a bike...
Edit: i just remembered some bum modus somewhere, buy a cheap car and get it run over by some rich guy, be sure to stay alive(but get some minor injuries too) and sue the person for damage to private property and voala, profit. instead of using the money you sucked up into repairing the ruined car, junk the car and get a new cheap car XD

eh the open air and ability of the rider of a motorcycle is often what saves them its only when that part is stopped by hitting another object (flying off the bike and hitting the object they hit) that it becomes death. There is tons of cases of a motorcycle rider crashing at 120+ mph and they tumble for 1/4 mile are bruised all over a broken arm and other then that are just fine. Because instead of airbags and a seatbelt to stop them right away. They have the force being dissipated over a much longer period of time
