Question for S/C'd 4Runner owners in LA

Would anyone be interested in meeting up over the weekend? I would really like to take a spin in someone else's supercharged runner to get an idea or where my rig stands. I could take it to a dyno, but this way is soo much cheaper! Let me know

Edit: Lunch is on me btw!

OT - I'm not in LA - but i've been thinking the same thing in reverse --- I should really go take a N/A runner for a spin just so that I would appriciate the fact that I have to feed it premium for 15 mpg

My 98 was supercharged (Gen I) and my 02 is N/A. No comparison. The 98 was MUCH faster, especially up top. I really wish the 98 was still with me.

What I don't miss is the constant nagging from the gas peddle to push harder, and the premium gas.
