Also the 2013 GT500, which will use the same roots blower as the above cars...

Whipple - twin screw
Kennebell - twin screw
Saleen - twin screw
Standard Eaton, TVS, etc. - not a twin screw.
I'm sure there are some out there, but the only OEM twin screw supercharger I can think of right off hand was the Lysholm on the Ford GT.

Well you got me... I looked it up. Looks like eaton used a little of the twin screw design while keeping the roots style Rotors... Normal roots systems don't have a twist in the Rotors do they? It was my understanding that the Rotors did not have a twist to them.. could be wrong again though lol.
Stock 03 cobra blower rotors
now twin screw rotors.

Its really about the shape of the lobes.
here is the eaton tvs roots rotors.
Notice on the twinscrew there is a male and female rotor, where they are identical shape on the roots blowers.

The twin screw is just an evolution of a roots blower. The roots was just a straight lobe blower. Later technology is the reason they started twisting the lobes ( more efficient and better balancing). Same concept with a twist. Which is why the old roots type and twin screw are called the same thing now. Don't know if anyone still builds a straight lobe blower anymore. They all twist them.
