I drove a 550hp Porsche 911 Turbo back when I did the clutch on it. That was
plenty of power to scare me, no additional amount will convince me. Turbos
are great for numbers, but here's why I prefer NA:
I like the throttle response of NA, there no amount of tuning that changes
that. Some people are turbo enthusialsts, some are NA. I'm NA. I drive at
least 25k each year, and prefer the feel of NA. ;-)
