I have driven many a turbo for me( a crap driver ) a good v6 or a v8 N/a is much better to drive on a track than a turbo car. I find with a turbo car you are looking at the revs all the time not on the driving.

If it wasnt for the fact most n/a engines have a far smaller powerband than the forced induction equivalent, thatd make sense.
Im guessing you mean a small capacity engine versus big, not turbo versus non turbo.
Non performance (well, low bhp per litre) n/a engines and big cc per car weight is of course going to make it easier to drive, but in general, a 180bhp 2litre n/a is gonna have a smaller powerband and less torque so "harder" to drive in the sense you talking about, than a 180bhp 2litre turbo.
