Turbos = displacement on demand and can allow a car to be "full retard" while being completely normal to drive.
A full NA build requires race gas all the time, doesn't want to idle, and has a terrible power band. It's also many times more $/hp than going FI.

No one's going to disagree. For me the problem with FI on this platform is you seriously throw off the balance. You're putting 50 or 100 lbs way out on the front of a vehicle that's already nose heavy as soon as you've done any basic weight reduction.
But then again, I already did the supercharged V8 muscle car laying down 500 whp while weighing 3900 lbs...this car isn't for that. If I keep it long-term I suspect it'll end up looking a lot like Anthony's car. But I haven't kept a vehicle long-term in a long time.
