No, I would definitely not consider an unfair test such as a 2 door against a 4 door! The test Im talking about was as follows

'99/'00 Toyota Tacoma Xtrab Cab 4x4 V6 5spd.(TRD Off-Road Package but NO SUPERCHARGER or TRD Performance parts)

'00 Nissan Frontier Xtra Cab 4x4 V6 5spd.(Supercharged)

And Superchargers are for increased torque, then that should have given the edge on the Frontier seeing as torque wins races in my book. If you needed to actually haul 2 engine blocks then just get the TRD supercharger and be pushing 265hp with equally impressive torque.
