First turbo car.....errr...GOD, what was it? Some Shelby dodge or something from the 80's (lolololol), my dad's friend let him use it when the sentra was in the shop. Tiny car.
MK3 supra
mk4 supra
'04 WRX STi
1st Gen MR2 (S/C)
2nd Gen MR2
Eclipse GS-T
240sx w/ SR20 swap
Datsun 510 with the SR20 from the 240sx posted above (both were owned by a friend. This car was retardedly fast because that SR20 was pushing ~400hp
).
I believe those are the only ones I've ever been in. Of those, the only ones I drove were the Mk3 supra and the 2nd Gen MR2.
I'm not bashing turbos in the least. I love the feel of turbo cars and the absolute thrill they provide when they get into the boost powerband.
I like NA engines better because of many reasons, most of which aren't even performance related. The sound and feel of a high-rev NA, screaming at you at 6000+ RPM and still wanting more is just something words can't describe. Throw on ITB's and well-enough exhaust and you got engine music that can't be surpassed.
Its all just opinion really. I like the feel of NA engines better, and to me this car is a car that should be NA.
One day I'll get my high HP turbo highway machine that'll just accelerate hard and fly down the road. But the FT-86? Nah, I'm a hachi guy, NA all the way.
The avatar was thrown in there to poke at all the guys wanting turbos.
