Hi,
I agree with you. I own/have owned several Turbo cars in my life (Lotus Esprit and Turbo Z). Aside from issues of Reliability, Access and Heat, the one thing about Turbos which I don't like is their schizophrenic nature. Your Car will have 2 personalities - On Boost / Off Boost. Can be very disconcerting at the Track or just when Rock N Rollin' - such as the Boost coming On in the Apex, or having to keep the Car in the
Sweet Spot on the Tach to avoid falling out of the Power Band. The Driver commands a little less Control over the Car. NA makes for a more predictable, enjoyable ride...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
