i love turbos as much as the next guy, but a properly tuned NA engine just FEELS better than a turbo. you just physically cannot get the flat tq curve of a NA engine with a turbo. SC? yes i'd love to see a factory SC kit. Turbo? no, its not that kinda car...
the GC is a competitor on paper, but look at both of them next to each other and it becomes less of a competitor. the FT is more than a foot shorter, and hundreds of pounds lighter. the FT is in miata and mini territory. but the mini is FWD and the miata is vert only. so right off the bat the FT appeals more to me than either of those 2... and i suppose it will to others as well...
