Fact is,turbos are the future..they are 'force multipliers',borrowing from the military's dict.Working hand in hand with various new engine tech,engines now can indeed be smaller yet produce more torque and power while consuming less fuel.I'm not saying NA engines are inferior,they are just different.We choose our cars based on what we want it to do for us,based on our various preferences.I love both turbos and NA,the N54,the N52,the K20A,the EJ20,the 2JZ,the RB26DETT,the SR20DET....slurpssss!!! Don't forget tho that all this technology and power and torque is worth nothing without a superb chassis and kickass brakes.The total package is what makes a car..ps-Mun,that Scirocco is probably just scared to take those corners at such speeds..again,chassis and driver also plays a part.</blockquote>
