I love the kick that turbos give...but the new Subaru GT's don't have any real lag - there's no "wwwwwwoooooooooSSSSHHHHH!!!" that the older cars had, thanks to the titanium blades. 8)

But I am staying NA for the pure driveability and reliability that NAs give. :D

i love the rev ability and sound of n/a engines like a 4age with huge cams or b16a etc

but i also like the torque and sound of a turbo as it spools up

i like NA much better than boost, it got my vote

problem is you can't get good power out of an NA engine as easy or in the same massive quantity that you can with boost, boost isn't best tho, its great fun, but its not best

very turbo, and what you heard is true, NA doesn't compare to turbo ... but only for power
NA is better than turbo for sound, crazy high revs, and power delivery all of which i rank higher than a kick in the pants and your head getting ripped back as boost comes on ... but then thats just me

if it wasn't so cost effective for me to get the 200sx i would be building up an NA AE86 right now, but then i got a far better car than many of the 86's out there at a much better price and its easier to get the parts i want, if i had more money it would have turned out differently tho
