Is Technology Making Cars Worse?

^Even BMWs are getting rid of their inline 6 for 4 banger turbos... for better fuel economy and lower emission, even the Enzo replacement is rumored to go back to twin-turbo V8 ala F40... so you won't see this thread happening anytime soon...

Yes NA will always always always have smoother power delivery (same with S/C), but turbos open up to more tuning options (ie. more power) and arguably more fun to drive once the turbo kicks in.

Yes, arguably indeed. Can't say I've ever driven a car with a good NA engine that I thought would be more fun with a turbo. Yet to drive a turbo car I liked. Most recent turbo disappointments were BMW 1M and latest Subaru WRX STI. Didn't like the engine in either. Haven't driven an F40, obviously, but there's an exception to every rule. :P
