HKS supercharger for the CR-Z

So i was reading a couple stories on MotorTrend, and came upon this:

CR-Z Supercharger

Basically, it says that this company is making a supercharger for the CR-Z and i was thinking that if a bunch of ppl email them, maybe they can adapt it for the GE8...

here is a YouTube video that is linked to in the article:

Enjoy!

Honda has been courting the aftermarket manufacturers for CR-Z mods for months. They've obviously chosen the CR-Z as their image-car they want to push as the sporty/aftermarket friendly one. SEMA will be awash in CRZ stuff this year. Hopefully some of it will eventually trickle over to the Fit.

wtf I thought they were only going to sell 10k crz's a year. why waste so much effort on a vehicle that will be 1/7th the production of the fit?

*sigh* they make it so easy to develop something sick for the crz and make it an enigma for the fit.
