The SC/T, as others have said, was merely a concept that GM put out a few years ago. It had an Eaton M62 blower pushing about 6psi. Magnuson Products and GM did produce a handful of prototype supercharger kits and sold about a dozen to the public (I know; I had one for a short time on my Alero), but they were quickly discontinued due to lack of interest (read: people couldn't swallow the $3K+ price tag).
GM owns afew few of the supercharger kits; one is installed in an old development mule - a red Grand Am with Bonneville wheels....and a 5-speed Getrag. All other V6 Grand Ams are automatics.
Current Grand Ams can be had with a "SC/T Appearance Package", which consists of a ram-air hood and a different rear spoiler - no performance upgrades.
Still, there are a few Grand Ams and Aleros running around the country with a force-fed V6. Most of them look and sound very close to stock, so watch out - most are running in the mid to high 13's.
Oh, there are also a few cars with Vortech superchargers running about the same times.

That was my whole point about the new SC/T... They didn't have a "production" supercharged Grand Am... I didn't even think of him having an aftermarket supercharger since you kinda made it sound like he had a stock SC/T which is nothing really impressive... Yeah the hood is pretty sweet and the spoiler is a little different, but 5HP isnt enough to take down the SVT stock for stock... And yes "slushbox" is exactly right!! Either way, have fun and well....... Don't embarass us all!! hahaa j/k!

I've been reading this post, and today I finally saw a Grand Am w/ the ram air hood. I took a closer look and found: "Ram Air V6" badging Ram Air hood w/ the ports fully closed off w/ black plastic  What gives? They say it's ram air, but they don't actually have ram air? That's garbage IMO.
