Turbo cars are better than N/A cars for giving you a shove in the back definately, no arguements form anyone on that.
Utterly pointless to compare N/A with turbo.


Mind you, the E36 im driving at the minute is great fun, 196 bhp and 200lb/ft with a small welded diff - it accelerates great but shit for cruising anywhere, ie on the motorway at 80mph you are doing 4k rpm
Doing 4K isnt a problem in itself if the engine is well suited to those rpm though, just sounds wrong to those of us used to driving petrols tuned more like a diesel like a YB
