I think it's horses for courses.

Although I think it's fairly obvious that, perhaps technically not so challenging, turbo engines are the way to go. You just have to look at how cheap and easy it is to get a turbo engine to smoke a larger capacity NA engine that costs twice as much.

Personally, I've had fun in all sorts of ***cars*** -> whether they have little NA engines, larger NA engines, turbo engines etc etc.

The theory behind forced induction is undeniable. Even an engine like in the Honda S2000, or new BMW engines with valvetronic etc, can't compete with a FI engine of half the capacity.

There's nothing *bad* about a good NA engine though -> I love VTEC and VVTL-i engines, you can have a shitload of fun revving the nuts off of those things, and they produce really good power and reasonable torque throughout the rev range.

But if I needed a car to save my life, I'd use my head (not my heart) and take a turbo-charged beast.

Anyone can build a high powered turbo engine cheap. Tell me about the cost of a good computer to run it all? $5000 for one to go over your 400hp wasnt it norbie?
