More hp, more cc.  With turbocharged, one can reduced the weight and play with the mapping, turbine technology and other variables.  Modern standard production turbos are fine, even for high speed driving. But there's always temptation to tune bcos it is so easy to tune.  I see a lot of these, esp modified import japanese being driven slow, even on highways. Not sure why, but i think the car is no longer practical with those monstrous hp figure. and consumption of going into boost is ridiculous.  I used to drive vtec, and it was happy hours all day, all night.  With turbocharged, we just have to try to resist the temptation. Maybe another 20% extra won't hurt.... and another, and another....  well, power corrupts anyway. its never enough!</blockquote>
