#Fiend# Regular Registered: July 2005	Re: Nissan Drivers Wed, 17 August 2005 12:05 I wouldn't say it's Nissan drivers I would say it's people who care more about how fast a car feelsor sounds than how fast/driveable it actually is, Hence the love of turbos. I have met plenty of toyota owners who think that anything N/A is shit too. It's the same thing as holden owners who think that a V8, any V8 is better than a V6 or a straight 6. There are plenty of slow as shit turbo'd cars as well. To my mind anyone who buys a car with a turbo and an automatic gearbox is an absolute fool as the turbo power delivery is not suited to the auto. As an example, every review I have seen of an auto WRX has said they are a heap of shit to drive with huge turbo lag/slow throttle response. People need to realise that a turbo is actually a compromise you would only make if you are putting outright power and torque above driveability and throttle response. I believe throttle response is one of the more important aspects of a fast engine that most people overlook. I can remember hearing somewhere that many of the japanese AE86 circuit racers use the 20v engine without a turbo or supercharger but with four flat slide motorbike carbs mounted to them to get the best throttle response......most of the ae86 drift cars use an aftermarket turbine to generate enough outright power to compete with the 500ps engined competition for smoke factor. This should tell you a lot as most of these turbo obsessed people will judge how fast a car is by how well it can fry the tyres [Updated on: Wed, 17 August 2005 12:17] [Report message to a moderator]
