I pick N/A

I love boost and im hoping to buy an evo 4-8 in the near future but you just cant beat the reliabilty of a well tuned N/A car, they are so reewarding to drive, and you have to actuallydrive them to get the power down!!!

Any munter can buy a WRX and put their foot down, i find a high revving N/A car around a track is more challenging and a lot more fun to drive :wink:

I'm an N/A enthusiest.
Better response from your engine.
Turbo, you put your foot down, you get little acelleration, then normal, then lunged into your seat. It's just not as smooth as an N/A!

And modding and tuning are different too.
It's like the difference between fine tuning a violin to a bass guitar.

Gas gets you further in an N/A too ;)
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; N/As get faster, turbos accelerate!! NAs just aren't any fun.
Dig a hole for the next man and you'll fall in.
