ha ha.i guess i have found a touchy nerve amoungst us all. sometimes its hard to tell if we are actually going forwards or backwards when it comes to thses big power motors.i know it is each to their own,i know it was impossible for me to decide which to go for in the first place and that is why i brught up the topic.i cant help thinkin though...... if i wanted a car that had massive amounts of SMOOTH power i would get very bored,very quickly,and keep throwing more and more money into it(which is very easy to do without even realising it!!!)and still not get satisfaction from it.At the end of the day they are RALLYE SPORT TURBOS And if you want a Rally?Race style feel then its NOT GONNA BE SMOOTH,because from what ive seen of Turbo'd Motorsport cars they are far from smooth.As for reliability issues,Ive always said IF YOU BUILD A ENGINE PROPERLY ,RUN IT PROPERLY(management eg Perfect fuel/Air Mix And safe margine boost) There should be no reason for it to break.(This includes not abusing it) I THINK I WILL STAY CVH!!!
